Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar?

Question:

Answers:
Spicebush is a fairly black swallowtail found in North America.

Adults can be identified by their spoon-shaped tails and by their bright green (male) or iridescent blue (female) hind-wings.

Ivory spots may be visible on the forewings, and orange spots may appear on the hindwings. Wingspan may be 3 to 4 inches.

These primarily black swallowtails are normally found in deciduous woods or woody swamps, where they can be found flying low and fast through shaded areas.

The Spicebush Swallowtail is found only in the Eastern US and extreme southern Ontario, with occasional strays in the American Midwest and even Cuba.

The caterpillars live in folded leaf shelters and eat the leaves of the sassafras or spicebush. Adults consume a variety of nectars, including those from azalea, Japanese honeysuckle, milkweed, and thistle flowers.

NOTE: Allthough they can be eaten, they can sometimes be very dangerous to man when disturbed in their natural habitat
