Giant Swallowtail Butterfly

[4rum]

About 50% larger than a Tiger Striped Swallowtail. Just happened to catch the sun shining through the wing toward the bottom of the photo. That shows the coloration and pattern of the upper wing surface of this butterfly. The wing toward the top of the photo shows the coloration and pattern of the lower wing surface. They are very different. Lucky to catch both in one photo.
