What is the name of the large butterfly that has large turquoise panels edged in black?

It's similar to the orange and black Monarch and Viceroy.


I thought that it was a "Spice-Bush-SwallowTail," but, the picture at Wikipedia depicts a practically all-black butterfly.|||Maybe you're thinking of the Eastern tiger swallowtail: http://www.lookoutnow.com/animal/butter2鈥?/a>





or a spicebush swallowtail:

But a pipevine should have a large area of blue as well: http://www.naturehaven.com/Butterflies/p鈥?/a>
