Canadian Tiger Swallowtail? - Papilio
Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
August 9, 2024
Papilio canadensis or Eastern/Canadian intergrade? Photo of underside is at a bit of an awkward angle, but it does seem to have more straight lines than swoops and curves to its markings. Thoughts?

Nectaring on Clethra alnifolia (Sweet Pepper Bush/Summer Sweet), Eutrochium maculatum (Spotted Joe-Pye Weed), and Clematis virginiana (Virgin's Bower) in a suburban native plant garden.
