No new and old taxonomy. There taxon feisthamelii. Some interpret it as a species, others as a subspecies. All their arguments. It was originally described as a species in the genus Papilio, this author should be put in brackets. I have a question I do not know and do not stick to one of the parties does not.

Come on, Peter, passed. This is interesting, and may wonder? :) I can send you these foty rasteniy- :))).
But seriously:
Leon. I watched almost the same picture, only Swallowtail and Podalirius at the "Utopia" Turkey, Alanya.This hotel is located on the mountain, and in the same place, at the top, near a flower bed, they are going up to a dozen, and below them is almost not there. Butterflies are also chasing each other, with different types of happened and I even took it on video, but turned out badly.And generally, in my experience, there are sailing boats, hardly leaving one place, for example, one pachliopta aristolochiae Tae sitting in the same tree, not flying away from him for more than three meters within a week, while I did not catch it.
Leon, you have no chance feisthamelii in the collection or you just take a picture?

Alexander Dumchus. There, in Portugal, I saw on top of the mountain is not high, (Tien Shantsev rather than the mountain, and the navel is), dance and dozens of Swallowtail Podalirius. I've never seen. I stood and looked stunned. Butterflies rarely sat, so for the next such a passing off and chase.What have grouse current, which brings together dozens of birds known. And butterflies ??
Then I thought maybe downhill grass is dry from the heat and have less nectar ??
After all, up to the point at the navel, I walked quite a few. I saw one of those sailboats and every day, and rarely flying.
Why are they gathering there? Is it their courtship place ?
