I just noticed, the red Ocelle Looks completely like machaon. Al my machaon hybrids had the black dot INSIDE the red ocell like polyxenes,zelicaon or brevicauda have.

hi Adam in my opinion, these look more intermediate than machaon x polyxenes . very interesting.even the head has some serious machaon markings. brevicauda seems to be closer realted to machaon than polyxenes is. As I suggest from your post, the Pairing of These hybrids was natural? I also observed a natural Pairing of F1 hybrids between machaon melitensis x polyxenes asterius last year. best regards! Yes, the pairing was natural. Also a couple of days ago at 5 pm I released a male 'hybrid' brevicauda x gorganus that had emerged from the pupa at 4pm in a cage with a female gorganus that had emerged that morning. Within 15 minutes it had paired with the female after chasing it around the flight area. I attached a photo here:  Adam. |
