I don't know where Mike is located. If in Eastern USA - it's probably

eastern swallowtail. Western - then it's anise swallowtail. Regardless, it's
lovely.

P. glaucus does not have that thick band of black of the leading edges of
its wings.

The western swallowtail, P. rutulus, is similar to the eastern, though
smaller: https://butterfliesandmoths.org/species/…

But P. zelicaon does have the thick black band:
