As the name implies the Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail only flies in the range of the Appalachian Mountains. It can be viewed only in the spring [cite web |title=Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail (Pterourus Papilio appalachiensis) |url= http://www.carolinanature.com/butterflies/appalachiantiger.html |Publisher= North Carolina Butterflies |year=2005 |accessdate=2008-09-28] . It has one brood a year in the spring.
