One seller offers two males of Рarnassius apollo (see photo). But I
have doubts about their ID and data.
On the top (according to seller) Parnassius apollo suaneaneticus supposedly from Georgia. P.a. suaneticus does come from that area, Caucasus, but this specimen doesn't look right to me and Adam Cotton.
At the bottom (supposedly) P.a. sibiricus from Armenia (!!) - Of course sibiricus does not come from anywhere near Armenia.
Do you can by their habitus to confirm or deny their subspecies status, because any data, as I think - fictitious. In any case, I`ll not buy it with fake data. But I wondering how true are subspecies.
