Pale Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio eurymedon) (?)

Pale Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio eurymedon) (?)

As we met beneath the trees on the hilltop, shadows of these butterflies passed continuously. .... described their "hilltopping" behavior: they tend toward hilltops, where others of their kind congregate. He (name?) said the flitting shadows would make a good screen saver. (I am not completely sure these are not western tiger swallowtails (Papilio rutulus). But these are white, not yellow, and I read that the westerns do not hilltop.)
