We are looking for the value of the second integer, so let's mark it as X.
Then three consecutive integers are : (x-1) , x , (x+1)
The sum of the first and the third integers (X-1) + (X+1)
Five less than three times the second integer 3X - 5
Now we can write an equation and solve it for X
(X-1)+(X+1)= 3X - 5 simplifying left part
2X = 3X -5 subtract 2X from both sides
0 = X-5
X=5
SO THREE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS ARE 4, 5, 6

The species of butterfly that is shown is; Papilio polyxenes.
<h3>What are the species of butterflies?</h3>
Butterflies usually are identified by the colors and patterns shown on their wings. However, for us to identify an organism using a dichotomous key, we must compare the traits of the organism to the first pair of descriptive statements on the key as follows;
1) A swallowtail butterfly is either classified as Papilio glaucus ( where the wings are mainly yellow) or Papilio polyxenes(where the wings are mainly black)
Now, the image of the butterfly given shows that the wings are mainly black, and as a result, we will say that the butterfly specie is called Papilio Polyxenes.
