Do a google search on: Green Swallowtail (Papilio blumei)

Great image, too.

Thanks David. I will google it. I tried using a butterfly webpage, but didn't find it there. I may just email the picture to the center and ask them too.

Thanks David,
I am pretty sure that is it!! I thought it might be a swallowtail, but I have never seen a green one. Thanks for your help.
