Re: Papilio maackii
This and the original specimen above are spring form males, which are really vivid but actually quite small, especially compared to the summer form.
The name jezoensis is a junior synonym. Japanese maackii is either placed in subspecies tutanus or that is considered a synonym of nominate maackii depending on opinion.
