swallowtail
Butterfly with extensions
A swallowtail is a large, colorful butterfly distinguished by elongated projections on its hindwings that resemble a swallow's forked tail.
The family includes hundreds of species worldwide, many prized by collectors.
Swallowtail also describes anything with a similar forked shape—a swallowtail coat has long tapering tails at the back, worn in formal evening dress.
