Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio glaucus - Female
Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
May 19, 2004
We recently put a butterfly feeder in our yard near our lilac tree (which the swallowtails loved). This female visited the lilac every morning about the same time (weather permitting) and eventually began visiting the feeder.

Females have more blue on their wings than males.

Not P. glaucus
Pretty certain this is not P. glaucus. It looks like P. canadensis to me, but some are calling these larger "southern" ones (Mass, Penn, etc.) by the name P. appalachiensis now. It would be good to get some other opinions here.
