Coordinator notes: I suspect this is one of the newly named "Midsummer" Tigers, aka Papilio solstitius. I'm looking to see more information from northern PA regarding this species, but it has been long suspected that it occurs here before it was officially named. If you look carefully, there are shared characteristics on the ventral surface seen on both species (distinct, separated FW SM yellow spots, narrower dark HW anal band - glaucus characteristics; straight dark HW PM line and boxier, flatter HW SM spots - canadensis characteristics). -jmgesell
