Does anyone here have a male or males of Papilio polytes from Simeulue Island, NW of Sumatra?
I only have females and would really like to see photos of the male to see the phenotype.
Thanks,
Adam.

There is one record on iNat. Not sure if you can see what you need to from the photo, but if no one has a specimen, it might be worth checking it out.

I already checked iNat last week. The associated photo appears on several different records for the same species, so I suspect that it is not the actual specimen from Simeulue.

Yikes. I didn’t spend enough time looking to pick up on that!

I have received a series of photos kindly provided by Naturalis, Leiden which are very helpful.
