I need some help...I can't find any good books and nothing on the net to
help ID genetalia. When I look at a male Papilio and open the claspers I see
three distinct protrusions from the very end of the abdomen, moving up
toward the first segment:
At the very end: a brown hook-like protrusion
Up from that: a large green protrusion with a spike at the end
Lastly (further up the abdomen): a thin dark protrusion that seems to probe
around
PLEASE...what are these? What is the anus and what is the penis? I'm hoping
to hand-pair some things.
Thanks!!
