After researching on line and in project noah. I Think the most likely candidate is the Two-tailed Swallowtail - Papilio multicaudata.

Two possible candidates. Two-tailed Swallowtail - Papilio multicaudata Western Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio rutulus I am afraid I cannot distinguish between the two.
