Swallowtail
I believe this is 'Baird's Old World Swallowtail but want to not overlook Black Swallowtail. In 2nd image, the lack of orange makes me think Baird's. In image 3, without a clear view, the black spot appears to be larger than one generally associated with Black Swallowtail. Still, not ruling out Black Swallowtail. Thanks for your help, in advance.
