This is why I like international visitors! It's neat though how the butterfly still looks the same. In contrast, the Polydamas Swallowtail has several subspecies because they live on most of the Caribbean islands and throughout Central and South America and so each population has somewhat different genetics, I suppose. Here's a good website that shows just how different they can be:
