  1. 1st question's answer: Cause their hind wings extend into a tail.

    2nd question's answer: By the odor they release.

            Good luck!


  2. They have the long tails on their hindwings, something like the forked tail of the bird called a swallow.  Same thing for the swallow-tail coat sometimes worn by men at weddings or other formal occasions.
