Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Thank you! I believe you are right I took a look and it appears to look more like the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Thanks for your comment and we are having a lot of fun with it.

I'm so glad you are involved in Project Noah. It's a fun place and I hope you'll enjoy posting more photos of animal and plant life.
Noah Rangers are here to help; you'll see a special badge consisting of a hat and pine trees on our comments.
In that light, I'd suggest that while this butterfly looks like a monarch, it is probably an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus).
Compare the photos on these two pages:
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_tig...
and
Monarch Butterfly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_but...
I'd be curious as to what you think and can help you edit the page if you believe it needs to be edited.
Again, welcome to Project Noah. Let me know if I can be of help.
