The Old World swallowtail / Махаон

The real subspecies should be Papilio machaon gorganus, and not Papilio machaon taigensis, because gorganus is found from Western parts of Europe to the Urals, while taigensis is found in Northern Russia to places east of the Urals, so the distribution of taigensis is farther away compared to the places where gorganus is found on the map. This should be correct, sorry for the confusion. https://www.gbif.org/species/6236194 https://www.gbif.org/species/6236194

Here is a link to the sub-species and distributions on where they are found. https://collector-secret.proboards.com/thread/428/subspecies-papilio-machaon
