I know there are many more swallowtail varieties than I see in Spain (2 I think!) but I'm always pleasantly surprised by another new one to me! Lovely shot!

Thank you very much, Andy. My "Field Guide of Butterflies of North America" lists 33 species of swallowtail. So, there are many more new ones to see.

Thank you very much, Denis. Spicebush is a plant (Lindera benzoin) that this butterfly likes. As far as I know, it doesn't grow here in Mississippi even though we have the butterfly.
