    I believe that is a spicebush swallowtail. The tiger is yellow with black stripes and the zebra is silver with black stripes. Very lovely butterflies.

    Jandres, that is the female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. The male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is yellow and black. The male and female have different colorations in many butterfly species.
