Thanks KarenL, I'm pretty excited that you've used my spotting in today's blog! Now if I could only get a SOTD!
Congratulations Anna, this spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog today! http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/30390277047/the-great-pretenders
Alice, I think both common names can be used. "Eastern" also distinguishes it from the Western tiger swallowtail, Papilio rutulus.
