Phoebus Parnassian (LEP14) Parnassius phoebus
Although the parnassians only slightly resemble swallowtails, they are
indeed closely related. Phoebus is
waxy white in color, with charcoal edges to the forewing, black spots near
the base, and two or three ruby spots in between. Each hindwing, inwardly edged with black, bears a bright red
spot near the middle. |
