<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.

I think the answer here is D. A seems wrong because it involves your opinion as a writer which should not be involved in a description.

Finally, D is correct because a description should be detailed and easy to follow. Hope that helps!
