I continue chasing butterflies.

First I posted a PESO of a male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio
glaucus:   http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17493755

I then did a PESO showing the yellow morph female Eastern Tiger
Swallowtail:  http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17504449
The principal difference is the band of bright blue spots at the base
of the female's wings.

There is another variety of Papilio glaucus, however;  the dark morph
of the female, which is almost completely black, but still has the
band of blue dots.  Here is one from my butterfly bush:
