Old World Swallowtail/Papilio machaon/makaonfjäril. Värmland, Sweden (25 June 2023).
this iberian scarce swallowtail (Iphiclides feisthamelii) has certainly seen better days, but i think photos of butterflies like this are at least just as interesting as those of freshly eclosed, perfectly intact individuals. there's an element of storytelling involved, if you think about the multiple potential predators it might have eluded. it could also just be really bad at being a butterfly, but the point stands

Rajah Brooke's birdwing butterfly!
Have you seen the Rajah Brooke's birdwing (Trogonoptera brookiana)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
The first photo is of a male butterfly, the females have a slightly desaturated appearance. This species is the national butterfly of Malaysia.

Scariest costume ever!
I ended up coming up with an idea for something spooky, so I drew it.
The wasp is Trogus vulpinus, a parasitoid of Papilio canadensis and other spp.
Obviously, the wasp is not quite to scale, but for the purpose of the theme, drawing a giant one makes sense.
I hope everyone has a great Halloween on Tuesday!
