The females evidently have a big patch of blue on the trailing edge of the wings, while the males do not, which is why I think it's a male. I'm guessing it's not the Western Tiger Swallowtail or the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail because Georgia is too far south and east for either of those, although they do look awfully similar.

I can't identify it, myself, but think it's really cool. When warmer weather comes, I'm going to be living in a new place, right outside of some wooded areas. I'm hoping to hone my bug-picture-taking skills! I have this creepy feeling, however, that my best pictures are going to be of spiders. Unfortunately, there just aren't many butterflies out here.

It is a beautiful work of photographic art....I only dabble in acrylics and watercolors and have no intention of "selling" my art.
