male machaon with female maackii, a real pig to spread as it must have been killed too early after emerging from the pupa. Attachments:

yes Claude it is, there is also a xuthus/maackii hybrid knocking about too which looks even more weird.

Wow, neat. Something very nice about the more subtle coloring. Was it difficult to produce?

I did'nt breed it unfortunatly, it came from Felix at interinsects, I want a xuthus/maackii hybrid next, for some strange reason all these hybrids produce males. somebody more intelligent than me can explain why.  |

Interspecific hybrids often only produce males, particularly between less closely related species such as these, and they are usually sterile. It's a product of the genetic incompatibility of the two parents.
