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

Here is a photo of the underside of the wings.
It's a male pipevine swallowtail - gorgeous!

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! :-)
But thanks to digital we can do that!
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.
