The flight of Old World swallowtails is characterized by the strong flapping of their wings during the months of May and June. The butterflies of the north have one flight sometime in May through July while those of the south have two flights. (Burton, 1979; Sbordoni and Forestiero, 1998; Struttmann, 2004)
