Papilio bachus or zagreus or ascolius
Posted: Fri May 19, 2023 10:55 pm
Hello,
I am a little confused.
I bought this butterfly as Papilio bachus. Tingo Maria, Peru.
But I think that many dealers reside there and it is not the exact locality.
Anyway, I found on the site
https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/ ... 91_3_i.htm
I almost found this butterfly, but it doesn't seem to fit from the locality. And then the question if bachus or ascolius are just subspecies of zagreus or independent species.
I hope a specialist can give an answer.
Thanks in advance,
Joachim
