Adult female spicebush swallowtail, Papilio troilus Linnaeus.
Wisteria sinensis Common Name: Chinese wisteria
It typically flowers at an earlier age and with greater abundance than species plants. In contrast to the very similar Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda), Chinese wisteria differs by counterclockwise twining, fewer leaflets per leaf, shorter flowering racemes of less fragrant flowers that bloom simultaneously on each raceme and blue violet flower color. This plant is mostly grown as a vine but may also be trained as a specimen shrub or tree.

very beautiful photo, especially the colors of the butterfly. It's luminescence wings are a nice contrast to the color of the wisteria.

Thanks for commenting on the information, it is the little extra I try to do both for helping others and for sure I always learn things I did not know.
