When I was out taking this picture I thought this was the female dark form of the Tiger swallowtail. Now looking at this picture, I think this is a spicebush swallowtail. It's nectaring on a Tithonia (Mexican sunflower). This particular butterfly seemed to only nectar on orange flowers. Can anyone confirm this is a spicebush? This would be a new one in my yard :) I didn't get much of the inside of the wings--it was a little camera shy!
