This butterfly is commonly found in the deciduous forests of Primorye, where it thrives among the rich biodiversity of the region. The Alpine Black Swallowtail is an essential part of the forest ecosystem, playing a crucial role in pollination and serving as a food source for various predators. The history of the Alpine Black Swallowtail Butterfly is deeply intertwined with the natural heritage of Russia. The first recorded observation of this species was made by Russian entomologist Vladimir Maack in 1893. Since then, it has continued to fascinate scientists, naturalists, and nature enthusiasts alike. As you gaze upon this exquisite photograph, take a moment to appreciate the delicate balance of nature that allows the Alpine Black Swallowtail Butterfly to flourish in its natural habitat.
