mimics the poisonous pipevine swallowtail
So I have! Thank you. I didn't know there was a similar butterfly to look out for.
You have been tricked by the trickster! (though sad that it is near the end of it's life)
This looks to be a Red-spotted Purple. They are mimics of the Pipevine Swallowtail. Their markings are a bit different though. You can see the comparison if you follow the link I provided with my ID suggestion.
See what you think!
