Giant Swallowtail Butterfly

This is the first time I've seen a giant swallowtail butterfly. Northern Illinois is toward the north end of this butterfly's range, although they can be found in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and southern Canada.  This particular butterfly had a preference for clover flowers, which fortunately were growing along the asphalt path and not out in the tall prairie grass where I pick up ticks!
