Papilio eurymedon

Our last, or latest collecting trip. Not all we brought home, but I did notice something I'd never noticed before in Papilio eurymedon,
caught at two different locations, one about 4100 ft, the other more like 3000 ft, I'm not as sure about the elevation there.
The smaller one, I caught at the higher location, and the larger one, which caught my eye, was caught by my Mom. I saw right
away the color difference in the larger one, having a yellow tint. I'm not sure if it will show up as well in the picture as it does
in person. I had to look up the species, and apparently it's variable in color, I was hoping for something more interesting.
Linn and Marion counties in Oregon. We also brought back Papilio rutulus, Parnassius clodius, a still unidentified small Speyeria
and either a day flying moth or a skipper- it's going to take going through all my books. A lot of got aways. identified as flying
blurs.
