[Ctleps-l] Dark female E Tiger Swallowtail

Thanks Harry. So it looks like it's appalachiensis or something else, but
likely not glaucus. My dad reports that it was in present again today.

I dug up some photos of some previous sightings in the past:

My sister took this photo last year from my yard: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__goo.gl_FygtOi&d=AwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=wPbNkt6T_H4X7m_PlvSFCGU2a9-csNvfRK2IVMi-mp0&m=MjriGTW3RZfzEXUO2CEoG6vvy4LxB3OEI7zYe1u8XT0&s=B_lCI3ZSHzWOo_ZOqzkaYVqtJkWXCnrcZpAiEqYL_-8&e= 

And this one is from two years ago at the Kellogg Center in Derby:

Both show more blue on the inner portion of the hindwing. The second photo
looks especially like ETS with the extensive blue wash.
