Hi again. Yes, I totally played hooky for awhile this afternoon. 
Is this a Checkered White Butterfly? I’ve been chasing the white butterflies for awhile. They flutter gently away whenever I approach, camera in hand. Here is a Bug Guide reference: http://bugguide.net/node/view/3556
Thank you!

Hi Ellen,
We are trying to post as many of your butterfly images as we can this evening, including this Checkered White. We envy your ability to play hooky.

Thank you so much! Sorry to send so many submissions at once. I haven’t had much time to go “bug hunting” lately, so I snapped as many photos as I could today. Now I’ll have to concentrate on work once again, and the elusive Black Swallowtail will have to wait. I’ve seen about twenty of them this month, but haven’t gotten a good photo yet. Take care!
You might get a kick out of our own inability to get a decent photo of a Western Tiger Swallowtail despite daily visits to our garden each summer. See: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2012/08/20/western-tiger-swallowtail-call-for-images/
Umm… if they are indeed Black Swallowtails?
