Camdenton, MO(Zone 6a)

Can anyone tell me what kind of butterfly this is? I'm not very good at butterfly identification.

ImaMes....Nice shot, they never stop for long.

MissSherry - Thanks for the info! I figured it was some sort of swallowtail, but that's as far as I got with an ID. He sure is gorgeous! His blue wings were so striking against the creeping thyme flowers!

Sheila_FW - Thanks! He did keep flitting about. I had to take about ten pictures to get one good one! :-)

Gorgeous! I tried getting a shot of one here, the other day...but you are right, they just don't want to stay very still.
