Are you sure these are tigers? They don't look like the Western Tiger Swallowtails out here in California.

I think it’s an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail female. I’ve posted it to iNaturist and I’m waiting for id. I do much better with bird ids.

A caterpillar, possibly of the Buff Ermine Moth (Spilosoma lutea); any experts out there?

I believe it’s a Giant Swallowtail, Papilio cresphontes. I used the Seek app from i naturalist (on my phone) and checked the id against my copy of Glassburg’s Guide to North American Butterflies.
