    Nice captures. It's a zebra swallowtail, I believe.

    Very nice captures, tpin. thumb.gif Your butterfly is definitely from the swallowtails family. The longer tails, and the and the red median stripe makes me think is a Zebra Swallowtail, but the markins and color are bit different. So it could be a variation. Were was this picture taken? Zebra Swallowtails are absent from the Great Plains westward.

    I agree with Roger --if you are in the states -?? the coloration is not spot on you should have red on the inside with wings open ?? and not brown on the underside ??
