Papilio machaon hudsonianus is a subspecies of the Old World swallowtail, a large and distinctive butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It belongs to one of the most widespread and recognizable butterfly species in the Palearctic region. The subspecific designation indicates geographic differentiation within the broader P. machaon complex. Like other members of this species, it exhibits the characteristic tailed hindwings and bold yellow-and-black coloration typical of swallowtail butterflies. The subspecies was described by A.
