Coordinator notes: Leo this dark female form of P. glaucus can be confused with female P. troilus easily. Though a few differences. On the hindwings both swallowtail females can have the same blue shading, but in P. troilus the spots along the hind wings are much larger and every so slightly defused with blue and look white/blue. Also going up side of forewing the spots are much larger in P. troilus than the dark form of female P. glaucus. I actually had to take a second look at this picture myself. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
