Some people consider the caterpillars of this butterfly to be a pest, since they eat parsley, carrots, and other garden plants. Many people enjoy butterfly-watching and collecting, and the Eastern Black Swallowtail is considered by most to be a handsome specimen.he Eastern Black Swallowtail is a common swallowtail butterfly, often confused with the Pipevine Swallowtail or female Tiger Swallowtail. Both male and female Eastern Black Swallowtails are bluish-black with yellow spots on the wings.
The Ozark Swallowtail looks exactly like the Black Swallowtail. It can only be separated by habitat and host plant choices (the host plant is the plant that the caterpillar feeds on). It is found in woodlands. The host plants are Meadow Parsnip (Thaspium barbinode) and Yellow Pimpernal (Taenidia intregerrima).
