I found this little outside, on the frame of our side door. It's about an inch and a half long, and I actually managed to get a clear picture this time. Any ideas?

It looks like the Black Swallowtail, Papilo polyxenes, but there are a couple with similar markings. The second link shows one with slightly different markings/color, but the same name.

It's definitely the one from the first link. Thank you so much!
