fireflydrake's Identifications

Please excuse some of the blurry images as this butterfly was preparing to take of the flower (but I still found it worth the observation post). These images depict a butterfly on a flower either feeding, pollinating or both. The wingspan of the butterfly seemed to close to 3-4 inches based off of what I could see. It’s vibrant orange/ yellow color along with the shape of its wings lead me and my friend to believe it is a possibly a swallowtail. Swallowtails are very common in south Florida throughly the whole year and the warm parts of the year in northern Florida.
