If your soreness turns into pain or sticks around more than a week, though, Husain says there could be an injury in your midst. After all, “DOMS is not necessarily a good or bad thing to experience. “A good workout should be programmed with the mindset of chasing performance, not fatigue,” Husain says.

The round egg is pale green, later turning orange brown. Since the caterpillars are cannibalistic, females lay their eggs singly on pawpaw leaves or on the tree trunks. Other food sources include rotting fruit and urine. These nutrients aid the male in reproduction. Males participate in a behavior known as puddling, in which individuals congregate on sand, gravel, or moist soil to obtain salts and amino acids. Both males and females avidly visit flowers, including species from the families Apocynaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, Lythraceae, Polemoniaceae, and Rosaceae. Females will fly slowly when searching for suitable host plants. They usually fly 0.5 to 1.8 meters (2 to 6 ft) above the ground.

The zebra swallowtail has a wingspan of 6.4 to 10.4 cm (2.5 to 4.1 in). The green or black caterpillars feed on the leaves of various pawpaw species, while the adults feed on flower nectar and minerals from damp soil. The butterflies are closely associated with pawpaws, and are rarely found far from these trees. Its distinctive wing shape and long tails make it easy to identify, and its black-and-white-striped pattern is reminiscent of a zebra. Eurytides marcellus, the zebra swallowtail (formerly listed under genera Protographium, Iphiclides, Graphium and Papilio by some authorities), is a swallowtail butterfly native to the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. |
