According to the link a female?!?
Thank you, LarryGraziano, the first Butterfly is exactly like mine, thank you for the Link. I did not know there were so many with small differences!!
Thank you so much, LuckyLogan, LuckyLogan, ceherzog, for your help to ID this beautiful Butterfly.
Could this be The Black Swallowtail, Papilio polyxenes?
I think this is the butterfly but it uses dill, parsley and other members of that plant family as host plants.
