Western Tiger swallowtail butterfly

Hi setfreeguzman, now that cormoros75 & apple have taken the time to identify this for you, please can you enter the correct ID - Western tiger swallowtail, & also add the scientific name (Papilio rutulus) in the correct field. You might like also to make photo 3 the main image (you can drag & drop in edit) as that is the clearest shot of this lovely butterfly.

Thanx for helping me identify 😊

Mmm interesting name lol

And finally the last choice is in agreement with cormoros75 with Western Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio rutulus

The last possibility is Two-tailed Swallowtail (Papilio multicaudata): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_mul...

Actually I think this one is more likely:

Papilio eurymedon, the pale swallowtail or pallid swallowtail

Definitely not a monarch. SwallowTail loooks right to me as well. Could be Anise Swallowtail, Papilio zelicaon since they are very common in that range:

Beautiful shot.... This is a Tiger SwallowTail....I think there's Western and Eastern species... Hopefully someone will clarify. Monarchs are Orange with black veins on the wing!
