It almost looks like a Papilio zelicaon - Anise Swallowtail but the markings are not quite right. It also doesn't have the black stripes on it's body. We don't usually see this type of butterfly in our area.
Do you know what type it is?

It's a Giant Swallowtail, P. cresphontes, they are so beautiful!
