Spicebush Swallowtail
Papilio troilus

Observation date: May 03, 2014
Submitted by: Jay Sturner
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On the forewing, both rows of white spots seem to go all the way to the coastal margin. I've read that the upper row of spots doesn't typically go that far, so I wasn't 100% sure about my ID.
