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.

It appears to be an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail The hind wings seem to be under the upper wings making it appear more moth looking. _________________ To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring ---- George Santayana
