Hi Nick
Try Female Orchard Butterfly (Citrus
Swallowtail Butterfly)
You might be more familiar with the darker
males, but not realise the m and f are related.
Your description is nice and accurate, as
per the first link.
Common summer Butterflies, usually
restricted to Citrus trees, but will also stray onto related plants, Rue, and
Mexican Orange, for example.
Visiting flowers of other families is
common, but they usually are fussy where they lay their eggs, for suitable
plants for the Caterpillars to feed upon.
Cheers
