Coordinator notes: This is a tough time of year to make an ID for Tigers. At your latitude, with some evidence of wear (although minimal), we can guess this individual has been around for a few days, and is still likely a later P. canadensis. P. solstitius would start appearing fresh the last week in June and are in flight through July. -Jeff Gesell
