Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

I happened to look out the window and saw one of these flitting around and heading toward the spotted joe-pye. When I went outside I found three of them enjoying the nectar from this plant.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and faves for my moon shot last evening! They are greatly appreciated.

Awesome capture! I haven't had many butterflies this summer as I've only got two potted plants. Beautiful shot.
