Canadian Tiger Swallowtail
Papilio canadensis

Observation date: June 25, 2022
Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: June 25, 2022
Coordinator notes: Hard to tell for certain, as it looks like there is some separation of the ventral FW yellow band and a narrower dark band along the anal angle of the HW, favoring a hybrid/intergrade like you've found before - but also this individual is extremely worn which could skew the appearance of these findings. Other general characteristics fit, so I'll go with P. canadensis. -jmgesell
