Zebra Swallowtail from above We saw this on a business trip to our US office in Raleigh, North Carolina - in the park behind our hotel. Had to use a mobile phone camera, but still - a reminder always to carry a camera with you since you never know what you might encounter.

Protographium marcellus is a swallowtail butterfly native to the eastern United States and southeast Canada. It is the state butterfly of Tennessee. Its distinctive wing shape and long tails make it easy to identify, and its black-and-white-striped pattern is reminiscent of a zebra.
