Papilio canadensis

Post by Paul K »

My brother sent me a photo of mud puddling P.canadensis on his farm near Calgary.
I realized short after that there is a form fletcheri in the group. Interestingly on two photos there are two different aberrants in same spot and time. I supposed the right circumstances produced these. Unfortunately I wasn’t there and he doesn’t collect insects.

That's a fantastic find Paul !

Seems like you need to visit your brother
AND promptly to get in on that canadensis hatch.

Looks like they are attracted to the same pile of poop. Can I buy this poop or the animal that produced it? Lol

Paul, I would have sent him back out there with a net, those are few and far between.
