Papilio glaucus
Large yellow and black butterfly with four black "tiger stripes" on each fore wing. This one was on a Saucer Magnolia. They use members of the Magnoliaceae and Roseacea families as host plants for their eggs.
Adults feed on the nectar of many species of flowers, mostly from those of the Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, and Fabaceae families.
