I am starting a website for my nature photography and you like to label this picture correctly. Can anyone help in identifying this butterfly/moth?
Thanks in advance :)

This obviously is not a native New York species - when asking for an i.d.; PLEASE specify where the photo was taken. This butterfly appears to be in the genus Parides (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), likely Parides anchises - see http://tinyurl.com/29nd7er for an image. They are native to South America.
