Western Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
(Papilio rutulus) Native to Western N.A. from British Columbia south along the coast.
This one is enjoying the nectar from our Lantana.
Note: The notch out of his bottom left wing. Birds will try and eat butterflies while they are in flight. This one managed to escape with only a small bite out of its wing.
