Submitted by: schnate124
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think this is a female C. Promethea but it's way out of it's normal range. This is Salt Spring Island, One of the southern Gulf Islands on the west coast of Canada. Everything I've read says these are common out east. Anyone know anything about Saturniinae?
