Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

Farrah, Now that there has been an ID, click edit on your screen and change the name from Unknown Spotting.

It is a very pretty shot!..and is so nice that people here in Noah makes and effort to ID it :-)

It is a swallowtail and probably a Tiger. Where was the photo taken?

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus)

I have a picture series of this butterfly and someone helped me ID it. This is how I pass it on! I thought mine might be a monarch too at first. But I'm new to ID species.

I don't think it's a swallowtail either though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_(butterfly) Monarchs are more orange. I put a link to Mondarchs so you can see the difference.

This is not monarch, its Swallowtail.
