Yet another beauty found out on the trails in Eastern Ohio. Its about 3-3.5 inches wide, and as you can see has amazing color! An ID would be superb!

Here are two excellent photos of what I believe is a Tiger Swallowtail, as identified by WTB. Verify for me, oh great bug identifiers!

Hi Knaet,
The butterfly images attached to both of your emails are Tiger Swallowtails. The individual in the first email appears to be puddling at the site of some moist soil. We are uncertain if the second set of images is of the same specimen, which you correctly identified in about five minutes, or if you thought there were two different species of butterflies. We suspect the former, in which case you should be congratulated on the proper identification.
