Re: Papilio astyalus
Thanks Adam for the information. Unfortunately the data that was on this only has Ecuador as a location.adamcotton wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 9:09 pm Actually if this is from West Ecuador it is a separate species to Papilio astyalus, P. anchicayaensis. Thank you for posting the photo of this interesting species.
Adam.

Re: Papilio caiguanabus
After doing a search for something else I found that this butterfly was shown by Trehopr a while back.
My apologies for the redundency.
