We were at the Quabbin Reservoir in centeral Massachusetts this weekend and saw this moth/butterfly, but we haven't been able to identify it yet. Anyone have any ideas what this might be? Thank you. Unknown butterfly/moth ( photo / image / picture from bgussy's Garden )

It appears to be an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail The hind wings seem to be under the upper wings making it appear more moth looking. _________________ Mortals must do what they are here to creatively do or they will become cranky. If you can't stand the heat, don't tickle the Dragon
