Coordinator notes: Not easy to be sure if this is P. canadensis or P. glaucus without seeing the underside, but given what I can see I'm pretty certain it's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (P. glaucus). It definitely isn't P. multicaudata, which isn't found this far east and also has two obvious tails on each wing, for starters.
