Thanks for the warning, but I don't think I did any wrong for the photos in question were made public and accessible.

Public and accessible doesn't mean they aren't copyrighted. For example, the images I post of my own specimens here on this website belong to me (even though they are generally not that great of photos). They are copyrighted simply by the fact that I created them, and people can't be using them elsewhere without my permission (which they'd probably get if they asked) even though I've clearly made them public and accessible. For a clear and detailed explanation see: www.socialmediaexaminer.com/copyright-fair-use-and-how-it-works-for-online-images/I'm pointing this out more for everyone's general knowledge, than to specifically jump all over you.

O'K, I see... Still hope I won't be samurai-ed.

This female of the nominate P. augustus from TIBET, Kangmar has a peculiar venation pattern on her left FW.

Sensedigger, some years ago I was privileged to see some of the wonderful Parnassius collected by Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia. The specimens that I saw were exchanged between him and Herman Strecker in the late 1800's. I had privy to view these holdings over a period of 8 years as I worked as a collections / technical assistant in the Division of Insects (Field Museum). Awesome material and incredible experience.

Definitely, trehopr1, that experience you had must have been unforgettable... The only comparable (to some extent) experience I had was holding in my own arms a box of North American Rhopalocera collected personally by Vladimir Nabokov, with all the labels handwritten by the latter..

Specimens of Parnassius augustus caught in Tibet near Sikkim by Sir Thomas Gibson-Carmichael, Governer of Bengal in July & August 1912 and one taken at Gyangtse South Tibet in 1922. Interesting that this was once considered a subspecies of Parnassius imperator. OUNHM colls. I would say that augustus-imperator are my favourite Parnassius species that I have yet seen.
