Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This is the first Viceroy I've seen. Had to go to Ontario to see it as it has long been extirpated in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia where I live. Good thing we stopped at this roadside rest area even though I was nearly eaten alive by mosquitoes.
