Stunning! Thank you very much for posting these photos. Are they all from the same area? Adam. I think they were breed in Europe. Makes sense given the pristine quality.

I obtained pupaes from three different sources in Europe. Yes, as I wrote, they are all bred in Central Europe (ash sp.) P.glaucus I bred 3 seasons, 2 generations per year. I had two lines, a offspring of yellow females and a line of black females. I focused mainly on breeding black females, where selected individuals were mated again. In 3-4 generations, intermediate females "just a black line" began to appear. Unfortunately, due to the really bad year 2020 (caterpillar disease), I was forced to stop breeding. This year in Central Europe, P. glaucus was really bad for breeding, because I received reports from friends that no one had kept this species. I ended the breeding by mating P.glaucus dark F X P.multicaudatus M. Here I have some specimens - only males, they all emerged in the same year as they were pupae. No diapause. (females are extremely rare at this crossbreed) All female pupaes have died. I'm adding a picture of males.
