Great idea, not valid for me though: I don't examine males in this projection, just get along with only visual diagnosis. Whatsoever, could be real thing, but only for collected specimens as you can't collect genitalia from alive butterfly :)
Well, as for P. machaon, I can take plenty shots in Meschera next summer. Even two generations :) It's flooded here with it, eye pain... To this pic, no similar here and hardly to be. So I added it. Any documentation matters.
Yury, thanks. Golden words. The very notion "entomology" includes not only fancy pics of "amazing wings": it's the scientific study of insects which examines the thing in its full. I can add the description only through the field "Additional info of the larval stage", if folks don't mind. Anyway, it's just my personal observation, I never read anywhere of the infestation of this species by this ...
Besides, this parasite is very specific, specialized on Papilio alexanor which here substituted with P. machaon, it seems :) http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CF%E0%F0%F3%F1%ED%E8%EA_%C0%EB%E5%EA%F1%E0%ED%EE%F0 (read the section "Endoparasitism"). That's why I put this pic and the guilty is defined. Any info about butterfly matters, doesn't?
Please don't, maybe the lepidoptera species will be IDed later (this photo in a group)? Would be great to ID the very parasite thing... With the flow, I've added today my "machaon": http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/25021 Interesting, I think :)
This is not a sawfly, rather hymenopterous of another group, some parasitoid wasp. These are parasite on insects, whilst sawflies are vegetarians :)
Such certainty in a specimen of such tough gender? This moth is catalogued, for one Yponomeuta cagnagella
It's only one in Far East as most likely (can be moved back to uncertain). The thing is that there are plenty of images of R. fugax pupae on the web whilst can't find pic of R.jankowskii to compare. Best would be to pick up pupae and try to get imagoes to resolve all doubts. In most cases no precise ID possible by pupae.
