I'm not that knowledgeable about butterfly species but everything I've looked at tells me that Pipevine Swallowtail is a southern species that rarely strays into Maine. In fact its range map shows it as barely having stray status along the edge of southern New Hampshire, with Maine not included as having sightings. One showed up today at the phlox, along with a beautiful Great Spangled Fritillary. It seems that we're in butterfly migration now; they're always worth looking at in my opinion.
