Papilio zelicaon

Observation date: August 08, 2021
Submitted by: yasobara
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Unknown
Verified by: Ken Davenport
Verified date: August 15, 2021
Coordinator notes: I can't see anything that proves this is machaon which includes examining the amount of yellow and spotting on the body and an anal spot that touches the edge. Without such evidence, an Anise Swallowtail is more likely.-Ken Davenport
