Eastern TigerSwallowtail ..

ETS - Eastern TigerSwallowtail [ Papilio glaucus ]
- one of the largest butterflies in our area
- yellow with black are male or female
- one has to check the orange spots and blue coloring
- on lower wings to determine if male or female

- also come in black, but they are always female
- sometimes difficult to identify
- there are several dark Swallowtail butterflies here
- so, just dig out "Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America"

Superb! I love swallowtails. Yours are a bit different to our European varieties but both sets are equally beautiful!
