Thank you! I believe you are right I took a look and it appears to look more like the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Thanks for your comment and we are having a lot of fun with it.
I'm so glad you are involved in Project Noah. It's a fun place and I hope you'll enjoy posting more photos of animal and plant life.
Noah Rangers are here to help; you'll see a special badge consisting of a hat and pine trees on our comments.
In that light, I'd suggest that while this butterfly looks like a monarch, it is probably an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus).
Compare the photos on these two pages:
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_tiger_swallowtail
and
Monarch Butterfly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly
I'd be curious as to what you think and can help you edit the page if you believe it needs to be edited.
Again, welcome to Project Noah. Let me know if I can be of help.
