Hi Kevin,
This is a tropical swallowtail, and we cannot give you a species since we don’t even know where the photograph was taken. We do love the art appreciation angle of the swallowtail admiring an image of other butterflies.

Update (92/23/2006):
Hi I just found out what kind of swallowtail butterfly this is. It’s not a red admiral(my mistake), Its a Crimson Mormon. It’s scientific name is Papilio rumanzovia.
