Western Tiger swallowtail butterfly

Hi setfreeguzman, now that cormoros75 & apple have taken the time to identify this for you, please can you enter the correct ID - Western tiger swallowtail, & also add the scientific name (Papilio rutulus) in the correct field. You might like also to make photo 3 the main image (you can drag & drop in edit) as that is the clearest shot of this lovely butterfly.

Mmm interesting name lol

And finally the last choice is in agreement with cormoros75 with Western Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio rutulus

The last possibility is Two-tailed Swallowtail (Papilio multicaudata): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_multicaudata

Actually I think this one is more likely: Papilio eurymedon, the pale swallowtail or pallid swallowtail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_eurymedon

Definitely not a monarch. SwallowTail loooks right to me as well. Could be Anise Swallowtail, Papilio zelicaon since they are very common in that range: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_zelicaon

Beautiful shot.... This is a Tiger SwallowTail....I think there's Western and Eastern species... Hopefully someone will clarify. Monarchs are Orange with black veins on the wing!
