Canadian Tiger swallowtail
by: Moni

Your photo is of the Canadian tiger swallowtail. They are fast fliers so it is not easy to get such a great photo!
The Canadian tiger and Eastern tiger look very similar however the hind wing of the Canadian tiger has a black line from front to tail that the Eastern tiger does not have.
The adults feed on nectar, while the larva feed on a wide variety of plants including willow, poplar, cherry and ash trees.
