Papilio machaon? I came up with that when I googled-imaged the above photo :)
Thank you so much for the birthday wish, Cairi. For my err, celestial presents on that day, I had the sun right on top of my head ( the Equinox! ) and a beautiful full moon that night! :DD
Close! It's actually an eastern tiger swallowtail, Papilio glaucos, which is native to North America. The Old World swallowtail is native to Eurasia. The tiger swallowtail doesn't have such prominent red spots as the Old World one.
So glad you had a good birthday! The skies were definitely good to you that night. *hugs*
