it is the zebra swallowtail!!
(Papilio dardanus) The Papilio dardanus swallowtail is a light cream colored swallowtail. It's supposedly called The Flying Handkerchief because it will attack a handkerchief if you throw it in the air. Of course you have to be in Africa for this to work. Origin: Africa. This butterfly fits just fine in the 7.5 x 6.5 case, however the 9.5 x 9.5 offers a more spacious look.
A large butterfly (wingspan 3-5 inches), the two-tailed swallowtail is found only west of the Mississippi in North America (in canyon lands, foothills, valleys, woodlands, and gardens from southwestern Canada through the western half of the U.S. and into Mexico).
