Now there are many such butterflies flying in North Carolina, USA. They look like swallowtails. According to Google, it seems to be Papilio glaucus, but what do experts say?

It is very similar to the glaucus-Tiger swallowtail. It is difficult to say for sure, but judging by the fact that the butterfly is quite common , it is true. In Virginia (which, as you know, is very close) this is the most common sailboat.
