I've actually identified this as an Eastern Swallowtail using the Audubon app on my phone. No entry exists in Wikipedia, so I've requested that one be created! Posted 11 years ago

  hi Deb. It does exist in Wikipedia, but using a slightly different common name: Eastern tiger swallowtail

  That's why it usually is most reliable to identify species by their biological name. Common names have several varieties across different languages. Posted 11 years ago

    Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, the Audubon app isn't very accurate, surprisingly. I actually switched my bird app from Audubon to the one provided by Cornell Ornithology Labs. They do not make a butterfly app or I'd switch that one as well! Posted 11 years ago

      Cool. It seems these id apps are very local. I use several ones for my country as well. Posted 11 years ago
