Bonus:
What term describes the condition suffered by the insect in the image? (hint: variation in the wing pattern of a butterfly species which is different in some way to the normal pattern)
How is that variation caused?

Well I think it should be: Lepidoptera Papillionidae, Swallowtail Butterfly.
I have no clue about the condition though.

Aberration - can be caused by extreme temperature changes or a fungal/bacterial infection during the pupal stage

What distinguishes this insect from other members of its order?
Define myiasis and name two other families on the Official list that also cause myiasis.

This is Syrphidae(Hover/flower flies) in Diptera. Myiasis is parasitic infection of a mammal by a fly maggot. 2 other families that can do this is Callophoridae(blow flies) and Stratiomyidae(Soldier Flies)
