He fluttered down to a branch on the side of the trail where I was hiking and posed for a brief moment before vanishing into the woods...

Nice capture. Was this taken somewhere in North America, Europe etc. and if so where specifically (Western US, Eastern Canada)? This may help people start to help with the ID.

Thanks! It was taken in Shizuoka Prefecture Japan.

I think I found it. It seems to be a female Byasa alcinous. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
