Spicebush Swallowtail
Papilio troilus

Found this while culling / sorting through old files; happy accident!  Kind of bummed about the white blossom in the U.R. corner, but it still seemed the best comp.

Nice colors and setting- I think it would be easy to at least darken the white corner, or if you are into such things, clone it out. I wonder too if this could have been rotated to eliminate the white, though that would change the angle of the BF. Anyway, it also works well "as is".
