Occasional Publication #'s 10 through 18 are designed to complement each other insuch a way as to present all the information known to the compiler with respect toOntario Lepidoptera to the end of 1986. Please note that Section 3 in each of thesepublications addresses itself to corrections to any previous T.E.A. publications.Section 6 of this publication is organized in accordance with "A Catalogue/Checklistof the Butterflies of North America North of Mexico" by Lee D. Miller and F.M. Brown(Lepidopterists' Society Memoir No. 2 - 1981) for the Rhopalocera. In addition tothis, where thought necessary, the nomenclature appearing in the following publica­tions is used:

"The Butterflies of North America" by James A. Scott (Stamford UniversityPress - 1986) - identified by (Scott).

"A Field Guide to the Butterflies" by Alexander B. Klots (Peterson Field GuideSeries) - identified by (Klots).

The contents of this publication have been checked for accuracy as far as possible.Any errors and omissions will be corrected in future publications.

Each locality listed herein is followed by a number in brackets. This numberis the County, District or Regional Municipality designation as shown in Figures 1 &2 herein, e.g. Marathon (52) means Marathon (Thunder Bay District). Where the dategiven is followed by a number in brackets, this represents the number of specimensencountered. Also note that F = female, M = male, C = collected, R = released and S= sighting.

2. THE WEATHER IN ONTARIO IN 1986

April - Temperatures fluctuated as frontal zones, associated with disturbancesmoving across northern areas oscillated back and forth. Many high temperaturerecords were broken during the early and latter parts of the month. At Timminson the 27th, the high was 30°C. Record cold weather was experienced near themiddle of the month. Hours of sunshine were deficient in northern Ontario,While the southern regions were relatively sunny. Precipitation was lighter inthe south than in the north. On the 11th, southern Ontario had a dusting ofsnow, while in the snowbelt 15 - 25 cm of fresh snow covered the ground.

May - The month began cold and windy, but temperatures quickly rebounded to abovenormal values after the first week. In the south frost damaged early emergingvegetables and occurred just as fruit trees were beginning to bloom. In thenorth it was very dry but wet weather occurred in the south after mid-month,benefitting newly seeded crops. Thunderstorms with hail occurred a number oftimes. Rapidly melting snow and ice jams caused major flooding in the Winiskarea. Sunny and warm weather in northwestern Ontario increased the forest firedanger quickly.

June - This month was abnormally cool and wet, especially in southern and centralOntario. Several severe weather outbreaks occurred. Only in northwestern On­tario were rainfalls unusually light. On the afternoon of the 16th severethunderstorms developed along a cold front, crossing the southern half of theprovince. Funnel clouds and hail were observed in southwestern Ontario whiletornadoes caused heavy damage in central and eastern districts. Just beforeand over the Victoria Day weekend, thunderstorms once again hit the province,damaging crops in several areas in the south and including Sudbury. On the29th a squall-line crossing southern Ontario produced hail and funnel clouds.

July - In southern and central areas temperatures were close to normal but plenty ofrain fell. In contrast, northwestern Ontario was relatively dry. Thunderstormsfrequently produced heavy downpours and hail. On the 5th, storms dumped 144 mmof rain in a six hour period in northern Ontario. Creeks and rivers overflowedtheir banks when 55 mm of rain fell on Toronto on the 18th. On the 22nd, thecottage country north of Toronto received 100 mm of rain. Toronto received atotal of 122.3 mm of rain, making it the second wettest July since 1938.Moosonee's 189.3 mm of rain was a new July record. A hot and humid air massarrived in southern Ontario during the first week, pushing the temperature tothe record mid-thirties. The humidex went to 41° and overnight temperaturesremained above 20°C.

August - Across southern Ontario record heavy rains fell. A severe hailstorm struckthe Holland Marsh and Niagara fruit belt on the 1st. The first two weeks werepredominantly unsettled and wet with rain almost every day. Heaviest rainfalloccurred in the Toronto area and near the north shore of Lake Ontario on the15th and during the night of the 26th. On each occasion, in just a few hours,many localities received between 70 and 100 mm of rain. Such intensity of pre­cipitation can be expected to occur once every 50 years. In Toronto, it wasthe second wettest August in 147 years, next only to 1915. North of Toronto,totals for the month were as high as 270 mm, making this the wettest summer in58 years. Despite all this, total hours of sunshine were near seasonal valuesacross the province. It was much drier across northern Ontario wheretemperatures averaged near normal.

September - After several fine days at the beginning of the month, heavy rains arri­ved and continued for the rest of the month. Mean temperatures were generallybelow normal. From the 6th to 8th several daily minimum temperature recordswere set in northern Ontario and the first significant ground frost occurredin the south. Toronto experienced the wettest month since record keeping beganin 1840.

- 4 -

October Generally slightly above normal temperatures and below normalprecipita-tion prevailed. Some snow fell in central and northern Ontario during the weekof the 14th - 20th. Low temperature records were set in central Ontario on the15th. Bright sunshine dominated the weather over the Great Lakes during the18th and 19th weekend.

4.1 Incisalia irus in Ontario by c).F. Hess

The Frosted Elfin has been reported in recent times in Ontario only from alocality in South Walsingham twp., Norfolk county, near St. Williams. This is one oftwo localities in which is found a colony of the Karner Blue.

In T.E.A. # 12-81, page 24, the writer provides a report on the known statusof The Frosted Elfin in Ontario. T.E.A. publications for the period 1969 - 1985 in­clusive have reports of Frosted Elfin encounters at the St. Williams locality in1969 - 1971 and 1973 - 1979 (both inclusive). The adults were reported flying fromApril 30th (1977) to June 3rd (1975), with most encounters during the period May 9thto 10th. There were no reports for the period 1980 to 1985 inclusive.

However, the Frosted Elfin population must have remained because on May 9th,1986, in a locality in lot 22, Cone. 5, S. Walsingham twp., Mary Gartshore found anumber of specimens. This is the same locality which supports the main Wild Lupinestands in the township (and the main part of the Karner Blue colony).

She reports that at approximately 3 p.m., with hot sunny weather, eight adultswere observed in a limited area on old sand dunes with scrubby pine/oak/poplar andmany openings. These openings have shrubs and herbs such as Wild Lupine, New JerseyTea, etc.• Ms. Gartshore reports that each adult irllS she saw defended a territoryof approx. 4 to 5 square metres. They did not visit sources of nectar, but perchedon bare ground, twigs, bark or oak leaves. While perching, they occasionally rubbedtheir hindwings together and periodically flew up to a height of 1.5 metres. Onespecimen was photographed, then collected and sent to the C.N.C. (Canadian NationalCollection) in Ottawa.

On June 4th, 1986, the writer encountered one it'llS on the Cone. 6 sand roadabout one half mile from the above locality. The weather was sunny and warm and itwas about 3 p.m. when two Elfins were observed circling each other about 6 feetabove the sandy road. Young pine plantations were present on either side of the roadand a Lupine stand was located on the north side. The two Elfins circled each otherfor a short time then landed - one on the south side of the road by the pines andthe other on the north side by the Wild Lupine. Both were collected. The one whichlanded by the pines was nJpnon, while it was a surprise to find that the other was aspecimen of it'£ls. Both wi 11 be deposi ted in the collection of the Royal OntarioMuseum.

4.2 Fourth Ontario Record for Phoebis philea by Jack Pilkington

At 12.15 on September 21st, 1986, I was leaning on my shovel as I mentallyappraised the next move in installing a dozen railroad ties in the garden. Butter­flies were the last thing on my mind at that moment, so when one fluttered about myhead, I actually swatted at it in annoyance. It was quite persistent, however, or Imight never have paid any real attention to it. Then, just as it flew off, I becameaware of its large size for a common "Sulphur". Fortunately for me it was attracted(0 J .rather showy pot of giant red Petunias sitting on a stone wall by the porch ...and just as fortunately, my wife is used to my idiosyncrasies. She was about to stepoff the porch when I yelled "FREEZE". With the next step she would have flushed itfor certain. Even as I tip-toed up to the flower (the insect's head was deep inside)Carol had no idea what I was up to. I clapped my hands once, hardly daring to breathand the butterfly fell stunned to the ground. Whether I would have had time to runinto the house for a net, I will never know. I made a decision and went with it. Thespeci~en has a tear in one hind wing as a result of my rough handling but is other­wise in reasonable condition. It is a female Pnoebis pnilea.

By 12.30 I was on the 'phone to Quimby Hess to tell him the news. He believesit is the fourth record for Ontario (and probably Canada> since it is essentiallysouthern in occurrence. I have three records myself in a file on Ontario butterfliesI've been compiling over the years from assorted sources with a view to producingrecord maps for each species. One record is for a specimen taken by Quimby himself(hence the 'phone call) on October 13th, 1930 at Zurich, Huron Co. Another, with nodate or collector, is for Vineland in the Niagara Peninsula and a final entry is for"Lincoln" County. If anyone reading this can fill in the gaps, I would welcomehearing from them.

Howe, in his "Butterflies of Northspecies occurs in tropical America. About

The specimen I have just taken off the spreading board is a bright sulphuryellow: - flushed, particularly on the hind wings, with red-orange washes. Along themargin of both wings is a series of dull brown dots, some the size of the letter 0

on this typewriter. On the forewing is a second row just inside the marginal rowthat also turns the corner (apex) of the wing and runs in toward the body. Just be­low the last spot on the costa is a large, distinctive spot in the discal cell. Theunderside has much more red-orange and the markings are almost a mauve-brown. Bothwings have distinct white discal clusters edged in brown. Much of the bright yellowscaling on this specimen has been rubbed off and one hindwing was already torn whenit arrived in my yard. This might reflect the long trip from the south~ Althoughthere was no recent hurricane or tornado activity, there is nothing to suggest ithad not been in Ontario or nearby Michigan for some time. The markings indicate itis a female, but botanist friends tell me the foodplant (Cassia bicapsularis) doesnot occur this far north. As a good friend and naturalist, Paul Pratt, pointed out ­the butterfly could have flown around in some fifty thousand square yards in thiscity and been 'just a butterfly'. In my yard it was a rare prize. What better indi­cation of the role of the amateur in science.

4.3 Records for Epidemia dorcas, Lycaena phleas & Hyllolycaena hyllusby Irene Trigg.

Location # 1: Town of Lively, Walden Twp., 7 miles west of Sudbury. At 1500 hours onJune 30th with sunny weather and a temperature of 21°C. Open field, bordered by acreek, tall grasses and rocky hills covered in blueberry plants. I was collecting inthe field adjacent to the Public School and scanning an area of buttercups where aCoenonympha inornata had alighted. A Phyciodes flew into my view, chased by a veryaggressive small butterfly. This caught my eye as I was aware of the Coppers havingthis aggressive behaviour. Not only did this aggressive butterfly chase away thePearly Crescentspot, but also the Ringlet. I approached it as it alighted on abuttercup and proceeded to feed. I identified the American Copper (L. phlaeas)without any difficulty. Their flight is quick and I knew I would have only oneopportunity to catch it and managed this with the first swing. The specimen was invery good condition but was not fresh. I continued to scan the entire area and foundanother Copper (E. dorcas), flying and feeding on a clover flower.

Location #2: Town of Lively, 1200 feet from location # 1, on one of the streets intown. At 1130 hours on July 1st, with sunny weather and a temperature of 20°C. I waswalking on a nearby street when I spotted a Copper flying close to the ground (about6-10 inches). It was not feeding but very docile, and appeared to be sunning. I wasable to approach it and sat on the sidewalk about a foot away and observed it for agood five minutes. I had no net with me and I knew the chances of finding it herewhen I returned were slim, so I made a point of memorizing all of the features. Itwas a slightly worn male Bronze Copper (}[qllolycaena hyll£(s). I did rush home andreturned with a net but it was gone!

Location #3: At the Lively ski-lift at 1200 to 1300 hours on July 2nd, with humid,sunny to overcast weather and occasional rain, I found numerous butterflies feedinqin a tall stand of wildflowers. Again I watched a tiny butterfly chase a N. vau­album and a c.:: inornata. This Copper was an E. dorcas in good condition but notfresh. No others were spotted and rain hampered further collecting.

4.4 Record of Satyrium liparops strigosum at Thunder Bay by Irene Trigg.

On June 7th, 1986, in a residential area in the North Ward of the City ofThunder Bay, Mrs. Stokes-Reces was cutting her lawn when she observed some larvae onher flowering plum bush. They were small, grub-like and a fluorescent green incolour. She called her son Tim, who placed the four larvae in a jar with soil, rocksand leaves of the plum. Tim knew I was an enthusiast and told my son of his find. OnJune 9th, I was shown the larvae and upon seeing my excitement, Tim gave them to me.One of the four larvae had been crushed by a rock and was discarded. Two had alreadypupated and were small and similar in shape to a Hairstreak pupa. They were a palebrown with darker brown speckled marks and covered with fine hairs.

The third was no longer fluorescent green but was a pale pinkish shade similarto the colour of the plum. I could make out the ridges of its grub-like body but ithad stopped feeding and was in the process of pupating. On June 10th, it had pupatedand was the same pale brown as the others. However, it was smaller and lacked ~he

speckled markings of the other two pupae. I assumed the smaller pupa to be a maleand the other two to be females. Both Tom Toyomi Ikeda and Betty Walker observed thepupae. Betty and I, after searching literature for an hour, found an illustration of.f:J.......::,tyrium liparops strigosum in an old English book. It appeared to be identical tothe described pupae. Two adults emerged on June 26th from the speckled pupae and thethird on June 27th from the unspeckled pupa. I introduced leaves of the flowering

- 12 -

plum in an effort to encourage mating, but no ovae were found after replacing theleaves over a period of two days. Due to my leaving on vacation I was unable tomonitor this experiment further and released one adult (it had a damaged lower hindwing). The remaining pair were added to my collection.

On July 18th, my daughter brought to my attention a butterfly which wassitting on the window on the passenger side of my car. It was the same species butwas worn and damaged on the upper wing. It was not the one I had released. In thetwo years that I have lived at this address in Thunder Bay I had never seen a speci­men of a Striped Hairstreak.

On the evening of June 9th, I had proceeded to the Stokes-Reces property inthe hope of finding more larvae or pupae. I found numerous partly eaten leaves andin the grasses at the base of the bush a cluster of ova. They were cream-coloured,empty casings only, and circular in shape. I kept them. They had been laid on a leaffrom the previous year but it was too withered to positively identify as that of theflowering plum. I had never seen plum bushes on my street before, but from the van­tage point of this bush, I saw no less than six more shrubs/bushes on a nearbystreet. With the permission of the home-owners I spent the remaining two hours ofdaylight combing the bushes and the ground around them. On all the bushes I foundevidence of larvae having fed there but no larvae or pupae were found.

In conclusion, it should be noted that all three specimens remained in the pupalstage for 17 days. The two different occurences (June 7th and July 18th) may meanthat there is a colony of this butterfly established in the Thunder Bay area. Also,that the two different types of pupal marking are common in this species or that thepupae of the male and female differ slightly.

4.5 Territorial Behaviour of Enodia anthedon by Irene Trigg.

On July 14th, 1986, 1300 - 1400 hours, in a spruce bog at the junction of TheExpressway and Harbour Expressway in Thunder Bay, I observed a brown, medium-sizedbutterfly resting on a gravel road. The weather was sunny - hazy and the temperaturearound 75°F. It was well camouflaged and difficult to spot. When I attempted to netit, it circled around me and attacked by striking me on the shoulder. It's behaviourwas similar to a ~~mpn~li5 v~ll-album but it was too small in size. I gave pursuitinto the spruce bog and I was knee-deep in the swamp and unable to run when I wasattacked three more times. I was able to identify the species as Enodia anfnedon Twomales were fighting each other, perhaps for the attention of a female. They werevery worn and their behaviour aggressive to both me and each other. Yet when theyapproached the female they flew with her in the mating dance. The one that had comeat me was netted, positively identified and released.

In all my years of collecting, I have found the Northern Pearly Eye only indeep woods and very shy. It would only dart for short distances when disturbed tohide from the intruder. It would appear that this shy species becomes bold and agg­ressive when mating, leaving the shelter of the deep woods to fly in open areas andattack all intruders.

4.6 Erynnis horatius in Northumberland County by Dr. W.J.D. Eberlie.

On looking through my collection, I found these butterflies labelled as possi­ble or probable E. norafiu5; they are two males from Castleton and two males fromPeter's Woods near Burnley. Both locations are on the Oak Ridge Moraine which runs

east-west across the middle of Northumberland County. Finally, there is one femalefrom Sydenham, Frontenac County. The identification of this latter specimen must bemore doubtful because it is a female.

4.7 West Virginia White on the Eastern Shore of Lake Superior (Algoma)by Alan Wormington.

In May of 1986 I located a population of the West Virginia White (A.vlrginien­sis) on the eastern shore of Lake Superior in the Batchawana Bay area about 40 milesnorth of Sault Ste. Marie. I note in T.E.A. publications, and also C.F.N. 94:325-327that the next nearest known locality for this species is Manitoulin Island, some 200km to the southeast. Perhaps in 1987 I will be able to revisit the site to determinethe extent and size of this population.

Note: It should be noted that the West Virginia White occurs in the Upper Peninsulaof Michigan, about 40 miles southeast of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (QFH).

4.8 Catocala cerogama Population Explosion in 1986 by Hal Donly.

During the month of August 1986 in Coe Hill, Ontario (24)(just south of Ban­croft), t: cerogama was unusually abundant at both bait and lights. On the night ofthe 16th, I counted 30 specimens at bait while not encountering any other Catocalaspecies whatsoever. The highlight of this evening was not only the unusual quantity,but the collection of a fresh specimen of c::. cerogama ruperti (the melanic form). Thefoodplant of this species - basswood - is quite common in this area, but the past 2years of sugaring attempts-had not yielded any specimens. While sugaring with BarryHarrison during August in the vicinity of the Metro Toronto Zoo, we also encounterednumerous LC?rogama, far outnumbering any other ~atocala species that we sighted inthe area.

4.9 A Probable Sighting of Thysania zenobia in Central Ontario in 1986by Hal Donly.

A large moth (probably Tllysania zenobia) was seen in Coe Hill, Ontario (24) ata cottage light on the night of August 29th. A positive identification was notpossible as those who saw it are not lepidopterists, but it was identified indepen­dently in the Covell moth book by all four people that saw it. The wingspan wasestimated to be six inches. It fluttered around the rear cottage floodlight for acouple of minutes, then flew over the cottage to the front light, then flew off intothe night. The only other moth of that size that could have been in the area in lateAugust would be the Black Witch, but when I questioned those who made the observa­tion on this possibility, they all indicated that it was much lighter in colour thanthe Black Witch. To support their claim as to size, there were frequent visits of C.cerogama and C. relicta to their light when I was present on the following evening,and they all indicated that the moth in question was much larger than any of theCatocala.

It would be interesting to note if anyone else sighted or collected zenobia asfar north as Ontario, or even the northern U.S.A. in 1986. It would also add somecredibility to the above observation. Covell's moth book does indicate that zenobiacan stray rarely as far north as southern Ontario.

4.10 Flight Season of Metro Toronto Butterflies (1980-1986)by Barry Harrison.

Table 1 shows a rough chart of the total flight season from earliest to latest ob­servations of the more common butterflies of the Toronto area.

Each month is divided into 6 five-day periods so that the chart shows within 5days each appearance and disappearance. For certain omitted species I do not haveenough observations, e.g. P. progne. Others such as (: nycteis appear to now bevirtually extinct in the Metro area. Still other periodically common species such asN. vau-album have been seen only in the spring by the author and would create anunbalanced impression of its appearances.

I include areas to the east like Ajax and Whitby, and Ballantrae to the north,as land development continues to deprive some species of necessary habitat. It is myhope within a few more years of observations to provide a much more concise chartshowing peak periods and indicating separate broods where involved.

4.12 Coenonympha inornata in the Thunder Bay Area by Q. F. Hess.

Occurrence of the Inornate Ringlet has not been recorded and published for theCity of Thunder Bay and environs in so far as the writer is aware. However, thereare a few published reports for this species as having been encountered west ofThunder Bay in the Rainy River District. There are also a few published records forthe Nipigon and Macdiarmid areas east of Thunder Bay.

Mrs. Irene Trigg of Thunder Bay was asked to check with local lepidopteristson this. She advises that Mrs. Betty Walker photographed a Ringlet in Thunder Bay in1972 or 1973. No one else has reported the Ringlet in the Thunder Bay city area.

However, more intensive search of suitable habitat localities in or near theof Thunder Bay may yet produce surprises. Old field areas and right-of-ways

grass and scattered shrubs and open young poplars should be searched in June.species may then be found~

Table 3. Walpole Island Butterflies in 1986.

Note 1: This year we were approached by Gerry Allen and Allen Woodlift of the Mini­stry of Natural Resources to be part of a team that would document all plant andanimal life on Walpole Island (see Figure 4). Our job was to carry out an inventoryof all butterflies and skippers on the island. This thorough report would be comple­ted with funds granted by the World Wildlife Fund. It has been known that WalpoleIsland contains rare animal and plant life. However, all had to be documented so asto provide the Band Council with this information at a time when major developmentprojects are being planned. Walpole Island will soon undergo enormous changes. It ishoped that this information will help with the decision on what areas to leave intheir natural state (BBK & GC).

Note 2: This 1986 inventory does not include all of the prior butterfly and skipperrecords for Walpole Island (Lambton Co.). For example, records have been publishedwhich include Pnalisora catullus; L. pnlaeas americana & Pprisitia lisa (QFH).

Note 3: Intensive searches were conducted throughout this study of the dense and ex­tensive Wild Lupine stands found in the north part of the Island. This was to ascer­tain if populations of the Karner Blue and Frosted Elfin were present. None werefound. Search was made for both adults and larvae during the period April to Septem­ber 1986 by the three authors of the report. The north part of the Island is knownas the Sandpit Region. It is flat, sandy, and privately owned, making access diffi­cult without permission. The Wild Lupine stands appear to be much more dense andhealthy than those in the Pinery. Wild Indigo also occurs in this area (QFH).

~ssociated with old beaches of glacial lakes, the banks of glacial spillways or richbottomlands with some drainage. In every site known the canopy is immature with someopenings. On such sites, together with other favourable factors, will sometimes befound stands of the Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) - see Figure 5. This plant, in someof these areas, is used as a foodplant by troilus. Another favourite foodplant isSassafras, which does not occur in Huron County, except as plantings, but is foundin suitable habitats just south of Huron County, such as the Pinery in Lambton Co.Localities in Huron County where troilus has been encountered and reported are asfollows:

Bayfield (about 2 miles north & east of) - (Q.F. Hess)Carlow (about 2 miles east & south of) - (George Sutton; Q.F. Hess)Auburn (about 3 miles from) - (George Sutton)Hay Swamp (near Hwy. # 83) - (Gerry Clements)

Occasionally associated with the Spicebush stands in Huron County is (~llosamia pro­methea (The Spicebush Silkmoth). It also favours Sassafras, which is not found inHuron Co.! as noted above. It has been found to use White Ash, Lilac and Wild Cherryas foodplants in the county in the 1930's, but since that time has been very scarce.However, I found cocoons on White Ash 3 miles E. of Zurich in March of '87.

4.15 The Spring Azure Oviposiling on Black Cohosh by J.A. Brown

On June 27th, 1986, at about 6.40 p.m. and on June 28th between 10 a.m. and1.30 p.m., I observed a specimen of Celastrina ladon ovipositing on a flower head of~JmicirL(ga racemosa (Black Cohosh, Black Snakeroot, Bugbane) in my garden in Oak­ville (Ont.). Later, I searched very carefully for larvae but did not locate any. Idid note tiny parasitic flies around the flowers at the times I saw the adult but­terflies. I wonder if the eggs were parasitized just after oviposition?

I have been hoping the Black Cohosh would attract Spring Azures for severalyears since we began cultivating this plant which is very shade tolerant.

4.16 Gray Comma. in Kenl 8. Essex Counlies During 1986 by Alan Wormington.

On July 10th, a Gray Comma (Polygonia progne) was observed at close range withbinoculars on the Moravian Indian Reserve, near Thamesville, Kent County. Shortlythereafter, on July 20th, an individual was captured at Point Pelee. At the same lo­cation a third individual was observed on August 4th. All were examples of the dark"summer" form.

Also in 1986, the second through fourth local records of Compton Tortoiseshellwere obtained in the Point Pelee - Leamington area, one of these as early as March28th (captured inside a garage). It would seem reasonable to conclude that both ofthese northern species arrived simultaneously; if so, they probably arrived duringthe fall of 1985. The observed Gray Commas in 1986 were, therefore, the result of aprobable subsequent brood after the light "winter" form -- the most numerous andlikely form to wander -- had overwintered.

Since the Gray Comma is a typically northern species, the 1986 records werevery unexpected. At Point Pelee, where the only previous record was 1927, I consid­ered the species a "former resident ••• now extirpated" (Wormington; The Butterfliesof Point Pelee National Park, 1983). In retrospect, it seems more likely that thespecies is a very irregular immigrant to extreme southwestern Ontario (including Pt.Pelee), with temporary breeding taking place after arrival.

4.17 Red Admi ral Ovipos i t ing on Spi cebush by Alan Wormington.

On July 20th, 1986, I observed a Red Admiral (~~nessa atalanta) deposit asingle egg on the leaf of a Spicebush (Lindera benzoin). This observation occurredon the southeast portion of the Woodland Nature Trail in Point Pelee National Park.For several minutes, I had been watching the butterfly systematically placing singleeggs on a clump of Stinging Nettle (tJrtica dioica) which was immediately below (andadjacent to) the Spicebush. In the presumed frenzy of egg-laying, the butterflyseveral times momentarily landed on the Spicebush leaves, but on only the one in­stance deposited the observed egg.

Although Stinging Nettle is a well-known larval foodplant of the Red Admiral(e.g. Opler & Krizek, Butterflies East of The Great Plains, 1984), Spicebush is cer­tainly not. Clearly the egg deposited on .the Spicebush was purely an accidentalevent. It is interesting to note that the literature sometimes lists a foodplant fora species -- often questioned by the authors themselves -- based on the observationof an adult ovipositing on the plant species named.

4.18 Papilio machaon hudsonianus in Ontario by Dr. Nick G. Escott.

With reference to T.E.A. # 17-86, page 7, Dr. Escott advises as follows:The reference for the specimen of P. macnaon from Mount McKay is in an old news­letter of the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (below). The note "Old World Swallow­tail" appeared in the T.B.F~N. Newsletter Vol. XIX, # 2, September 1965. WalterHartley died a few years ago and his widow still lives here in Thunder Bay, butapparently not at the horne they called 'Hartbrook', which is where Walter did mostof his collecting.

Walter states that he caught the macnaon in South Neebing, which is the areasouth of the Kaministiquia River and north of the Norwesters, a chain of "moun­tains" of which Mt. McKay is the easternmost and most prominent member. The SouthNeebing area is where his home was located (see reference to it in the copy of pp. 2to 3 of T.B.F.N. Newsletter, Vol. XVII, # 2, January 1963) (see below).It appears that the specimen was reviewed by someone else (probably Father Riotte)to confirm the identification.

I met James Kamstra in the summer of 1985 at Pukaskwa Park and mentioned thatmacnaon had been caught in the vicinity of Mt. McKay and suggested that he trycollecting there in view of this previous record.

As for your note in last year's T.E.A. Summary (17-86), I am reasonably cer­tain that the above specimen, and the one from South Neebing that you state is "opento question" are one and the same! I just talked with Mrs. Hartley and she assuredme that Walter~ collected anywhere near Geraldton. In fact, all his collectingwas done on or near their property in South Neebing, at the foot of Mt. McKay. Whenhe died, his collections apparently went to the R.O.M. in Toronto.

I therefore think this may be a valid record after all, notWithstanding your'reliable source' in Thunder Bay. If you can find the specimen at the R.O.M. andconfirm the identification, I can vouch for the accuracy of the S. Neebing location.You mention in the T.E.A. Summary that "the collector" used Hymers as a locality - Ido not think this was Walter Hartley. Was there another different record from Hymers(about 30 miles west of Thunder Bay) that may be inaccurate?The exerpt from the Thunder Bay Naturalist follows:

OLD WORLD SWALLOWTAIL by Walter Hartley'

We received recently confirmation that a butterfly we collected in 1963 was indeedan "Old World Swallowtail" (Papilio. macnaon nadsonianas A.H. Clark). This is a geo­graphical subspecies of a circumpolar species said to be quite common in Europe andAsia. As the subspecific name suggests, this is a northern butterfly. The formermost southerly confirmed range ·was Geraldton. So our specimen, taken here in SouthNeebing, extends the range some ninety miles further south.P. macnaon flies here about the same time as the Tiger Swallowtail, and is verysimilar in appearance, hence easily overlooked•••.

Note 1. - On Jan. 22nd, 1987 Marg Pickles of the R.O.M. and I searched the Museum'sPapilio collection & found the specimen referred to above in Cupboard Lep.3.The label on this specimen reads as follows:

June 21, 1963 - S. Neebing township, Ont., W. Hartley & J.C.E. Riottedet. P.m. nadsoniant.ls - F.A.H. Sperling - 1984

The statement on page 7 of T.E.A. # 17-86 that the S. Neebing occurrence is open toquestion is withdrawn on the basis of the above information.

4.19 The Butterflies of Northumberland Co. Recorded by Rev.C.J.S. Bethune

in the Years 1892-1896 compiled by W.J.D. Eberlie

The attached list is extracted from articles on "The Butterflies of the Eastern Pro­vinces of Canada", published in the annual reports of the Entomological Society ofCanada for 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1896. All names have been modernized.Rev. Bethune was President of the Entomological Society of Canada for several yearsand was one of the founding members. He lived in Port Hope from at least 1870-1899.Although Port Hope was not at that time in Northumberland County, it is now.

Note 1: Regarding Lycaena sC£ldderi - I cannot imagine to which modern name this spe­cies refers. It should be L. argyrognomon, but I cannot believe that this speciesever occurred in Northumberland County. He probably meant L. melissa, which had notat that time been given a separate species name. I suppose it is possible that wildlupines occurred in Northumberland County within the last century as there certainlyis suitable soil in certain areas (WJDE).

5. GENERAL SUMMARY OF ONTARIO LEPIDOPTERA IN 1986.

The 1986 flight season in Ontario had to contend with generally cool~ wet con­ditions and erratic heat waves followed by cold snaps in the spring, especially thefirst part of May. The flight season commenced in Ontario on March 29th and ended onNoverriber 8th.

Generally speaking, in Ontario in 1986, most butterfly and skipper specieswere average to below average in numbers, with a few exceptions. Species to be con­sidered at normal population levels included:- £. clarus.• T. pylades.. E. juvenalis..A. numi tor.. P. coras.. P. hobomok.. E. r. metacomet.. P. g. glaucus.. A. napi.. A. rapae..A. virginiensis.. H. hyllus.. E. dorcas.. H. titus.. £. comyntas.• S. aphrodite, c.-:'. nyc­teis.. C. bellona.• £. phaeton.• P. interrogationis, V. virginiensis, .D. archippus, £.anthedon.• !f. cymela and C. inornata. The remai ni ng species were near, below or verymuch below normal. The latter species i ncluded:- A. milberti.. V. cardui.. C. eury­theme,. C. interior and P. raunus.

The highlight of 1986 was the encounter with Incisalialocality in Ontario near St. Williams. This species was lastlocality in 1979. Why it was not reported in the interveningof possible poor timing and search strategy in the field.

Migrating butterfly and skipper species which have moved into Ontario from thesouth and west in past years were not encountered at the levels of some previousyears, and most such migrations in 1986 were weak to nearly non-existent. Examplesare V. cardui which was nearly absent in 1986 and J. coenia and ('. eW·:'l./theme whichhad only weak migrations northwards. However, Jack Pilkington found a Phoebis phileafemale in his backyard at Windsor, which is only the fourth such record reportedfrom Ontario to date.

The migration of the Monarch butterfly from Ontario in the fall reflected thelower population levels in southeastern and southwestern Ontario. Population levelsin south central Ontario appeared to have been closer to normal. The southwards mi­gration was at its peak during the first half of September. Wm.M.M. Edmonds reportsthat he continued his Monarch tagging project , selecting Monarchs for tagging alongthe Toronto waterfront, and releasing tagged females on Sept. 26th between 6.00 and6.30 p.m. in the Don Valley along with some tagged males. Some reported recoverieswere on or just prior to Oct. 21st from near Orwigsburg, Penn. (25 miles N.W. ofReadi ng).

We also have an interesting report from Dave Shepherd of the Long Point BirdObservatory. While carrying out binocular surveys from the Observatory of the skiesover Lake Erie for migrating birds, migrating Monarchs were observed sailing southbefore an advancing cold front, at an estimated height of 4,000 ft. above Lake Erie.

Range extension records for butterflies and skippers in Ontario during 1986include Cercyonis pegala nephele, which was encountered about 5 km north of its pre­viously reported northern range limit - S. of Monteith (Cochrane Dist.). For south­eastern Ontario, Ross Layberry reports five County records as follows:- P. massasoitin Larose Forest (Russell Co.); P. viator at Dwyer Hill (Carleton Co.); £. dion inLarose Forest (Russell Co.); A. vialis at Beckett's Landing (Carleton Co.); L.appalachia at Hawkesbury (Prescott Co.).

For south central Ontario, Dr. W.J.D. Eberlie reports the occurrence of E.horatills at Castleton (Northumberland Co.)(Please refer to Section 3.6). For south­western Ontario, Alan Wormington reports the first record of Poanes IJobomo*' (formpocahontas) in Elgin Co., and A. clyton in Elgin Co. For northern Ontario, Alan Wor­mington reports the first record of A. virginiensis near Batchawana (40 miles N. ofSault Ste. Marie - Algoma Dist.)(Please refer to Section 4.7).

New moth occurrence records in Ontario for 1986 include Callosamia prometneanear Norland (Victoria Co.) and ~qalopnora cecropia on the Leslie Spit (Toronto). Apossible Ontario migration record was the report of Tnysania zenobia near Coe Hill(Hastings Co. ) (Refer to Section 4.9). Moths reported above normal population levelsincluded Catocala cerogama in south central Ontario (see Section 4.8). Also, theForest Tent Caterpillar continued its infestation level on poplar, etc., in parts ofnorthern Ontario, e.g. the New Liskeard area. Here, the poplar stands are showingincreasing mortality of the weakened trees. The Spruce Budworm infestation of cer­tain regions in northern Ontario continued, and west of Hearst, balsam fir and whitespruce mortality as a result is very evident. In southeastern Ontario the Gypsy Mothinfestation continued expanding westwards, but was at reduced levels over 1985.

The Ontario Government continued its aerial spraying operations, using Bt,against the Spruce Budworm and Gypsy moth. The effects of this spraying on other in­sects, particularly other Lepidoptera, appears to be considerable in the sprayedareas on the basis of one brief examination. The area was near Silver Lake Provin­cial Park which found the complete absence of butterflies and most other insects.

Intensive field studies and literature searches conducted in 1986 include:-

1. "Determination of the Status of Rare and Endangered Butterflies in CarolinianCanada" by Dr. Laurence Packer (World Wildlife Fund - Canada - Project CarolinianCanada # 69).

2. "Study of Diurnal Lepidoptera of Walpole Island" by Ben & Brenda Kulon and GerryClements (Part of World Wildlife Fund - Canada - Carolinian Canada Project # 65).Please refer to Section 4.13.
