Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm wondering if 2 separate Tiger Swallowtail species as well as a hybrid version existed at this particular site today (see other examples). This particular individual appears closer to P. canadensis x glaucus, with a slight-scalloped appearance to the yellow-black fields on the ventral hindwing and boxy with slight crescent tails to the spots on the lateral edge of the ventral hindwing. The submarginal yellow band on the ventral forewing appears separated, but a bit crowded...which is why I think this is the hybrid. This would be the "LF" or "late flight" individual too, I'm guessing...
