.....although Daniele may also be right. Two places to start some research.

Hi Cris. This is definitely a variety of Swallowtail Butterfly. I don't think it's the Orchard Swallowtail (wrong colours to the ones I've seen), but the wing shape is exactly the same and general markings are very similar. Hope this helps to identify this beauty.
