Swallow Tail

Found this on the laptop and thought I would share it. This is some type of Swallowtail Butterfly, though I do not know what type. I had thought Tiger, but... it sure looks too white and the markings don't look exactly correct.If you have any idea what variety of Swallowtail this is.... please let me know.
