First swallowtail of the year by rhoing

First swallowtail of the year

And it’s nearly August! I’ve seen some at home and on campus (and at the lake!), but this is the first I’ve been able to photograph at home in our garden.

Fairly certain this is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (“Papilio glaucus”).
Confirmed at BAMONA as “Papilio glaucus” or “Eastern Tiger Swallowtail”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1001739
