Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Saw individuals at two different sites, separated by about 1/2 km. The first photo is from the first site, where I saw this single individual. The second photo is from the second site, where I saw four individuals. Both sites were along a path through a cedar swamp. All the individuals were seen nectaring on spotted knapweed. This is the farthest north I have seen mulberry wings.
