It's a fritillary among the lavender. I've noticed a yellow swallowtail on my lilacs a couple of days recently, but I was too lazy to grab the camera and try to get a shot. They move a lot. And it was windy. Plus it was the middle of the day, with bright sun, when I noticed the swallowtail(s), so, not the best light.
