Coordinator notes: If that color is really white, then you have a Pale Swallowtail which in my book, a much more desirable butterfly that usually lives in the mountains and rarely goes to the coast. Western Tigers are in lowlands and mountains and both often fly together in the same canyons along streams-Ken Davenport.
