Coordinator notes: Hi! I am going to add this most interesting record to the butterfly distribution database of the Toronto Entomologist's Association. We have a very few previous records of this species from Sarnia, but almost all are from Canatara Park, with just one from Centennial Park. Your record appears to be in downtown Sarnia, at the intersection of George Street and Christina Street North. Is this correct? Or were you really in one of the parks? Please contact me at rosslayberry@yahoo.ca Thanks, Ross Layberry
