Field Notes

Description:

I would consider this the showiest of all Kodiak lepidopterans. I was lucky enough to see the body coloration when the wind kicked up its wings a little bit.

Habitat:

At the edge of a large salmonberry patch and Buskin Lake.

Great shots Machi! I wonder if it is found as far south as Washington?
