I was a little surprised when reading Wikipedia about the spread of carrion. Here is a quote from Wikipedia on the range of this taxon:
Area
Southern and Central Europe, the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, Turkey, the Middle and Middle East, the temperate zone of Asia to the east, India, Western China, North Africa. In warmer years, the butterfly can migrate to the British Isles, Scandinavia and Finland.
The species is widely distributed in the steppes, forest-steppes and semi-deserts of Eastern Europe, in the foothills of the Carpathians and the Caucasus. Individuals found north of 52-54 degrees north latitude are migrants or representatives of temporarily established populations. The northernmost podalirium finds in Eastern Europe are known from the Baltic States and the Ivanovo and Kirov regions of Russia. In the Caspian lowlands and Western Kazakhstan, the species is mainly associated with anthropocenoses. It is completely absent in the subalpine and Alpine zones of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
Here in the north of Yu.In the Urals (56 degrees north latitude), I regularly (for 10 years) observe a population of scavengers on a mountain slope, where you can easily catch up to 10 specimens. in the day.
