2. 1991 Weather (from Climatic Perspectives by Environment Canada).

Febryary - Mild and generally dry weather conditions across Ontario.

MAr&b - This was a wet, warm and windy month in Ontario. In the early part of themonth (3rd and 4th) and on the 27th and 28th, there were extensive ice storms andhigh winds. Otherwise the weather was pleasantly mild. It was also very wet incomparison to January and February.

Agrjl - This was a mild month and featured heavy rainfalls in the south, but rela­tively dry conditions prevailed across parts of the north. The highest maximumreadings occurred on the 7th. Snowfall in the north was very light and at ThunderBay was the lightest in 50 years.

~ - Summer arrived at least one month early! In southern Ontario, most locationsfrom Kingston to Windsor and as far north as Wiarton broke records for the warmestMay ever. At Toronto, it was the warmest May in 151 years. In the north and north­west it was the warmest since 1986. Along with the heat, thunder showers kept mostof Ontario moist, however, in northeastern Ontario rainfall was below normal.

~ - A hot and dry June capped the warmest spring ever recorded in southernOntario. Monthly mean temperatures were almost 4 degrees warmer than normal, withthe highest daily maximum recorded at Ottawa. All regions were extremely dry exceptfor the northeast.

~ - This was warmer than normal with a mid-month heat wave which pushed monthlymean temperatures above normal for the ninth consecutive month (November 1990 toJuly 1991). The total rainfall revealed huge variations as thunderstorms lefttorrents in some areas and bare traces in others. For example, Sioux Lookout hadthe wettest July in 53 years!

Aygyst - This was another month with warmer than normal temperatures. Rainfallfeatured huge variations. A mid-month heat wave, the most intense since 1988, wasmainly responsible for pushing up monthly mean temperatures - the tenth successivemonth. Sunshine was generally abundant and in Toronto, records show that this wasthe fourth warmest summer in 152 years of record keeping.

September - This month had average temperatures below normal for the first timethis year and it was the coolest September since 1984. However, most localitiesendured another hot spell during the middle of the month. A record breaking coldspell at month's end brought the first Ontario wide frost to all locales except theextreme south. It was wet across most of Ontario, the northwest being wettest withSioux Lookout recording 223 mm (three times normal). Moosonee was also very wet,and received their greatest precipitation total since 1941. However, the broadcorridor from Windsor to Toronto as well as the st. Lawrence and Ottawa Valleyswere dry. Sarnia had the least moisture in September since 1969 (26~ of normal).Snow flurries were recorded as far south as Orangeville on the 28th. In the north,they had the most snow for the month since 1984.This cool September ended a string of ten consecutive abnormally mild/warm months.In addition, the heavy rainfalls in central and northern Ontario created problems,whereas in southern Ontario the dry conditions were favourable to agriculture.

4. SPECIAL NOTES

4.1 The Inornate Ringlet is in Middlesex & Lambton Counties by Q.F. Hess.

The first known occurrences of the Inornate Ringlet, (Coenonympha 1nornata W.H.Edwards) in Middlesex and Lambton Counties were recorded in 1991. One specimen wasfound by the Sewage Lagoons at Thedford (Lambton Co.) and two in Middlesex Co.; on3 km south of Corbett and the other beside the Parkhill Dam (see section 6).

The Toronto Entomologists' Association has been interested in the distribu­tion of this butterfly in Ontario at least since 1977. Occasional Publications10-79 (pp. 5-12), 11-80 (pp. 6-7),12-81 (pp. 7-8),12-81 (pp. 7-8),13-82 (pp.8-9), 14-83 (pp. 8-11) and 16-85 (pp. 11-13) have described new findings withrespect to life history, and in particular the range extension westwards. This hasbeen characterized by westerly movement to the east coast of Lake Huron and south­westerly, until now it has moved into Middlesex and Lambton Counties.

It should be pointed out that James A. Scott in "The Butterflies of NorthAmerica", pages 239-240, has this taxon as Coenonympha tu771a Mueller, with1nornata as a race and heineman1 as a local variety. He does not mention the racenipisiqu1t, which is listed by Miller and Brown in "A Catalog/Checklist of theButterflies of America North of Mexico" (lep. Soc. Memoir No. 2 - pp. 193).

The question of the number of broods of this ringlet in Ontario is of interest.In the writer's experience, there are two broods seasonally to the south of thesouthern parts of south central Ontario. To the north and west, there is only onebrood.

4.2. The Monarch in Ontario by Q.F. Hess.

If there is one word to describe the Monarch butterfly (Oanaus p7ex1ppuslinn.), it is 'spectacular'. The size and beauty of the butterfly, its defences,unique migration habits and popularity with the average person all add up toanother word - 'fantastic'.

The data in this section are intended to complement the work carried out on theMonarch by Dr. F.A. Urquhart, whose findings were published in "The MonarchButterfly" by University of Toronto Press in 1960. It is hoped that this will addto our knowledge of the Monarch in Ontario.

The Toronto Entomologists' Association, among others in Ontario, has had acontinuing interest in recording the life history, occurrence and migration of theMonarch. Occasional Publication' 12-81 (pp. 34-35) describes the foodp1ants of theMonarch in Ontario. The northern boundary of the main foodplant, the Common Milk­weed (Asc7epias syriaca), is shown in Figure 18. This boundary extends from NorthBay to Sault Ste. Marie. In addition to the Milkweeds, plants in the Nightshade andDogbane families are said to be utilized by the larvae. It should be pointed outthat occasional stands of Common Milkweed have been reported north of the boundarystated above. However, these are rare and some are grown as garden flowers. Forinstance, the only known stand in Thunder Bay is in a garden.

The Swamp Milkweed (A. 1ncarnata) ranges further north than the Common Milk­weed in Ontario, occurring rarely in Quetico Park and easterly from the Algoma toNipissing Districts. For example, there is a relatively large stand of Swamp Milk­weed beside Red Cedar lake north of Field in Nipissing District and it supports acolony of the Monarch. The females arrive in the spring before the plants appearabove ground and wait until they are of a size suitable for egg-laying.

Where do the migrating Monarchs from Ontario go? This was the big mystery sincebefore 1952. It was hoped that the answer would be found by undertaking systematic

-8-

tagging programs for the butterflies as they commenced their migration south. Dr.Urquhart and his co-operators worked on this question and the work has been con­tinued by others such as Wm.E.E. Edmonds and Donald Davis. The result of theseefforts culminated in the location of the wintering grounds on January 9th, 1975 inthe Sierra Madre mountains west of Mexico City by Ken Brugger and his wife Cathy.Unfortunately, due to the environmental impact of an expanding human populationthere is much concern over the future of these wintering grounds.

Although the main populations each year are in southern Ontario, adult Monarchbutterflies have been reported as far north as James Bay to the east and Geraldtonand Minaki to the west. A survey of some northern Ontario Provincial Parks wascarried out in 1991 by Donald Davis, with the assistance of park personnel as notedin the following data.

1. Quetico provincial park. Atikokan:

Survey completed by Shirley Peruniak, Assistant Naturalist.Monarch butterflies are usually seen on an occasional basis early in June, thefarthest point to the north being Highway 17. Sightings in 1991 were at Hwy. 17near Ignace (Bending Lake Road) on June 7; Nym Lake and Hwy. 11 near Atikokan onJune 9 and French Lake on July 31. The occurrence of Swamp Milkweed has been re­ported by Shan Walshe, although it is rare.

2. Kettle Lakes provincial park. Timmins:

Survey completed by Leeanne Beaudin, Visitor Services Assistant.Monarch butterflies are rarely seen and none were reported in 1991. In fact, only 2adults have been seen in Timmins in 20 years, according to Evelyn Rymer, a Timminslocal naturalist. Milkweed is rarely found.

3. Esker Lakes provincial park. Swastika:

Survey completed by Andrew Miller, Park Naturalist, with the assistance of theUniversity of Guelph Entomology Department.Monarch butterflies are rarely seen and in 1991 were as abundant as in 1990. Anyseen are usually in poor condition (other reports differ on this - QFH). No larvaewere found on Milkweed during the larval season. The farthest point northerly whereadults have been observed is Abitibi de Troyes Waterway Provincial Park (other re­ports record the adult north to James Bay - QFH).

4. Nevs provincial park. Terrace Bav:

Survey completed by David Werbiwski, Head Naturalist:Monarch adults are seen daily, with a peak period of approximately 2 weeks fromaround July 7th to 21st. After this, they are rarely seen - possibly because of themicro-environment created by Lake Superior (probably the migrants have passed by ­QFH). Milkweed does not appear to grow here and the farthest northerly point forsightings is Cassumit Lake.

5. Lake Syperior provincial park. Wawa:

Survey completed by Carol Dersch, Visitor Services Co-ordinator.Monarch adults are seen occasionally, with the farthest northerly point being theRed Rock Lake Park Headquarters. Milkweed is occasionally found.

The migration patterns for the Monarch in Ontario are basically to the south orsouthwest although adults in the eastern areas may travel south across Wolfe Islandinto New York State and onwards from there. When these migrating adults reach theGreat Lakes (Erie, Huron and Ontario), they tend to congregate at points of landextending into the lake or along the shore. They are prone to cluster as they awaitsuitable weather conditions in order to continue. If suitable weather does occurthey have been reported as starting off 'en masse'. Norman Tremblay reported onesuch as happening at the Scarborough Bluffs. Conversely, there may be movements ofsingle individuals such as those reported by personnel from the Long Point BirdObservatory on the north shore of Lake Erie. They have sighted adult butterfliesflying across Lake Erie at elevations up to 7000 feet.

If conditions suitable for crossing miles of water do not occur, the migrationis southwesterly along the shore of Lake Ontario, many congregating at Point Pe1ee,where they await suitable weather to cross into Ohio. In southwestern areas, theytend to funnel down the east shore of Lake Huron into Michigan and onwards fromthere. This flight path probably includes those adults from Manitoulin Island andthe Bruce Peninsula. Clustering has been reported along this route by variousobservers. In northern areas, the migration route is probably in a southwesterlydirection across the st. Mary's River into Michigan and/or to the south via Mani­toulin Island. Adult butterflies from the Rainy River and Kenora Districts migratedirectly south into Minnesota.

The Monarch population appears to have been on a decline in Ontario for severalyears, as reported in previous TEA Summaries, although some observers believe thatthe population rises and falls according to the eleven year sunspot cycle. Inrecent years, the situation in the wintering grounds, coupled with continueddevelopment and agricultural practice along the migration paths may also have animpact upon the population. Many of the migrating adults are killed by collisionwith motor vehicles.

Since it was a very warm year, 1991 may have produced conditions favouring theMonarch and most reporters indicated that the population levels increased overthose seen in 1990. The Monarch may be observed in extreme southwestern Ontario inlate April and in favourable years, as late as mid-November. The migration southusually commences in August, sometimes even in late July, and extends into Octoberwith one or more noticeable peaks. Specifically in 1991, the migration in the LakeOntario areas is described as follows:

Donald Davis, for Presqu'i1e Provo Park, states - "we observed large roostings ofthe Monarch butterflies during the entire month of August, beginning on about the2nd and reducing in numbers thereafter. There were still Monarch butterflies atPresqu'i1e on October 16th".Barry Harrison, for Toronto/Bobcaygeon, observes - "the Monarch first starteddirect flight westerly on July 20th and movement picked up notably after the 25th.Counts at the base of Leslie Spit from July 1st to October 5th varied from 1 to 15,with a peak of 150 individuals on August 25th and none after October 13th".Norman A. Tremblay advises that the Monarchs migrated south through Norland duringearly August and hundreds were seen. Over 30 were seen dead on the highway aftercollisions with vehicles. Massing was seen at Scarborough Bluffs in early August.The flyway along the east shore of Lake Huron had the migration peaking on August19-20, after which few were observed.

These observations compare with 1990, which had peak migration in the LakeOntario area on September 2-3 and in the Lake Huron area on September 8-9.

4.3 The Status of the Karner Blue & Frosted Elfin in Ontario in 1991 by Q.F. Hess

The Karner Blue (Lyciades me7issa samue7is) has occurred in Ontario in oaksavannah areas near Port Franks (Lambton County) and near St. Williams (NorfolkCounty) in the vicinity of the Forest Nursery and Manestra property.

In 1991, intensive field surveys failed to locate the butterfly in the PortFranks locality, but two adults were identified at the St. Williams locality. Fieldchecks for the Frosted Elfin (Incisa7ia irus) in the St. Williams Karner Blue area(the only known locality in Ontario where the Frosted Elfin has been seen in recentyears) failed to find the species. Both the Karner Blue and Frosted Elfin wereplaced under the protection of the Endangered Species Act in June of 1990.

For more information, please refer to previous TEA Occasional Publications,particularly .'s 22-90 and 23-91.

4.4 The West Virginia White in Ontario in 1991 by Q.F. Hess

This was the final year for the two year "West Virginia White Monitoring Study"by Landplan Collaborators of Guelph, under a contract for the Ministry of NaturalResources. Subject to the final report, which is in preparation, several personnelrecorded new occurrences for the West Virginia White in Ontario as follows:

St. Joseph Island (mouth of St. Mary's River south of Sault Ste. Marie) - 7colonies in the central part of the Island;

Grey County - 1 new colony near the centre of the County;Lambton County - 1 new colony just inside the southern part of the east

boundary;Beverley Swamp area - several new localities between Guelph and Brantford.

Alan Wormington reports a number of additional sites in the Hamilton/Wentworth areaas follows: Progreston, Flamboro Centre (3 km NE), Carlisle (3 km N), Valens (4 kmE), Freelton (1 km NE) and Mountsberg (3i km ENE).

The 1991 field surveys indicated that the West Virginia White suffered furtherhabitat loss due especially to the activities of various aggregate concerns oncethe insect was removed from the protection of the Endangered Species Act in 1990.Monitoring of various localities for the butterfly indicated that the populations,in general, were reduced compared to the levels in 1990.

The HamiltQn Study Area is centered on Dundurn Castle, HamiltQn and has aradius of 40.2 k. Many sites within the area were periodically sampled throughoutthe year tQ determine the numbers of various species, and in 1991, there were manyexciting and interesting finds. Many records were cQllected during the NaturalAreas Inventory (NAI) carried out in the Hamilton/Wentworth area by Alan Wormingtonand the writer.

The main highlights of the year were strays, and the rarest was certainlythe Oco1a Skipper found by Rob Curry at the RBG Teaching Gardens. Also, there wasone report of a Little Sulphur and several sightings of the Fiery Skipper from fivelocations within the area. Several sites were discovered for the Indian Skipper, aspecies which had only been recorded in the area on a few occasions. New sites werealso recorded for the Two-spotted Skipper (1), Giant Swallowtail (5), Dorcas Copper(1), West Virginia White (10+), Pine Elfin (4), Hickory Hairstreak (6) and MulberryWing (1).

Due to the extreme heat in April, there were record early emergence datesfor several species. In addition, because of the above average temperatures in1991, several species had additional (although very partial) broods. These includedthe Columbine Dusky Wing, Cross Line Skipper, Long Dash, Little Glassy Wing,Delaware Skipper, Northern Eyed Brown, Appalachian Eyed Brown and Inornate Ringlet.These unusual occurrences led to record late dates for some species.

4.7 Some Notes & Observations on Behaviour of the Early Hairstreak (Erora 7aeta)by S.M. Daniels

On May 20, 1991, I was fortunate enough, together with Ross layberry, BobCurry and Kirk Zufelt, to visit a site of the elusive Early Hairstreak Butterfly.This was at Po1timore, Quebec, some fifty kilometers north of Ottawa, and observa­tions were made on the behaviour of the butterfly. In this area 7aeta prefers toland on sandy sections in the midst of beech forests. Ross notes that when oneparticular road was widened from three to seven metres, the actual number of obser­vations of laeta increased. They tend to fly from mid-morning to late afternoon(5:00 p.m.) and are as likely to be active in the heat of the day as at othertimes. They are more numerous adjacent to the forest containing fairly heavy con­centrations of beech (Fagus grandifolia) and~ trees appear to be associatedwith the area of sightings. Individuals are often encountered motionless on theroadway and allow a close approach. Seeing them before you are on top of them is achallenge. In our experience on May 20, these hairstreaks were seen first while inmotion, usually during a weak flight close to the road surface. They would even­tually land and all were captured on the first try save one. Even when alarmed theypersisted in landing at ground level within a few seconds and did not demonstratethe vertical alarm-flight to tree tops often observed by others. Of the five indi­viduals seen, one folded its wings and adopted a "tilted" position soon afterlanding on the road. This angled position of the wings, frequently demonstrated byelfins and satyrids may be an effort to reduce the size of shadow cast on thelanding surface.

In Ross layberry's experience, males are relatively rarely seen. Of the 84individuals he had previously observed only three were males. The very first speci­men encountered on May 20 was a male. Two observers noticed a bluish colour whenthis butterfly was in flight. I observed it making a loop-like flight pattern, butfailed to see any blue colouration. Upon inspection it was found to be a male witha dark charcoal coloured interior which may have had a bluish-grey cast in certainlight conditions and angles. In most cases where females were seen flying just overthe road surface, a definite blue colour was observed. I remember one instance inparticular where the sun was close to being overhead and the butterfly flew off tomy right at a distance of 3 metres and landed close to 5 metres away. During thattime it appeared very reminiscent of the Northern Blue (Lycaeides idas) , with adefinite dark purplish hue being noted. On most occasions the Spring Azure(Ce7astrina ladon) would appear considerably lighter in colour but it wouldcertainly not be impossible for the two species to be momentarily confused.

By carefully examining live specimens in an observation jar it is possible todifferentiate between male and female even with wings closed (as is their usualposition within a jar). The male has a more sharply pointed apex on the forewingand a relatively straight lateral forewing edge. The female exhibits a more roundedapex and a gentle convex (curving) edge on the sides of the forewing. After nettingthese butterflies, they sometimes remained on the soil and had to be coaxed up intothe net. The best way I can describe their flight is elfin-like.

The sparse yet wide distribution of Erora laeta may be dependent on a numberof factors, including beech tree density and forest maturity. The preference fortall trees may allow it to go undetected, especially in areas not intensely scruti­nized. Subtle aspects of habitat may eventually be uncovered, especially in easternNorth American populations where it is less frequently observed.

4.8 A Big Day for Migrants by S.M. Daniels

On September 21, 1991, an extraordinary number of "migrant" butterfly species(10) were observed at one location, Point Pelee, in southwestern Ontario. At leasteight of these have never been known to overwinter anywhere in Ontario and at leastnine have never been known to overwinter at Pelee. There were several factors whichcontributed to this phenomenon, among the most obvious was the extraordinarily warmweather, consisting of eight successive months of above average monthly mean tem­peratures. Others were the late observation date and the extreme southern positionof Point Pelee geographically. The three observers, Alan Wormington, Bob Curry andI noted the following variety of species between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.:

These observations were also unusual in terms ofthe unique varieties found, including C. ethlius,recorded for the first time in Ontario and Canadaand P. ocola, recorded for only the second time inCanada. E. baptisiae was only the fourthobservation at Pe1ee and A. campestris had beenrecorded during only one previous year in thisarea. It is also noteworthy that the infrequentmigrant H. phyleus was seen in unprecedentednumbers (38). One species which might have beenexpected, Eurema lisa, was not seen and was scarcethis summer in spite of extremely warm weather.Historically, most lisa observations have beenmade in July but September observations certainlyare known. This situation is not out of keepingwith the observations and conclusions made by PaulCat1ing (T.E.A. Occ. Pub. No.3 - 1972). It washis conclusion that butterfly migration was notexclusively a function of climatic conditions.Other factors, including population dynamics, areno doubt involved. Careful observations should becontinued in the future to help in further un­ravelling the forces and conditions behind butter­fly migration.

4.9 The Ocola Skipper (Panoquina ocola), New to Ontario &Canada by Robert Curry

On September 7, 1991, while on a successful day seeking butterflies at PointPelee National Park with Alan Wormington and Kirk Zufelt during which we found fiveFiery Skippers (Hy7ephi7a phy7eus), I lamented that, despite considerable effort,we could find no vagrant butterflies at Hamilton. Wormington suggested that I trythe Teaching Gardens (formerly Children's Gardens), a property of the Royal Bota­nical Gardens located in West Hamilton (Hamilton-Wentworth). These consist of acombination of vegetable plots and flower beds and more than twenty years before,he had found Fiery Skippers there.

So, on Sunday afternoon, September 8, at about 3:00 p.m. I was patrolling theTeaching Gardens among banks of flowers and clouds of bees. My eye was caught by avery dark skipper and I thought that I was about to get an excellent second broodrecord, a result of the long hot summer, such as the Dun Skipper (Euphyes vestris)we had the day before at Pelee. It landed on some white cultivated impatiens and Icould see that it had very long forewings and a "raked" or swept back appearancewith the forewings folded into the hindwings that I could not recall on any otherspecies that I had seen. When it flipped to another flower I could see some whitespotting on the forewing but the VHW was plain dark brown. Sure now that this wassomething that I had never seen, I swept twenty flower heads and the skipper intothe net. Carrying on, I found two Fiery Skippers, which made Alan Wormington looklike a prophet! That evening, I checked more closely and found a curious 3/8 moon­shaped white spot and another squarish spot both on the forewing which made identi­fication rather easy.

Panoquina oco7a - 2.25 x life sizewingspan 36 mm - (S.M. Daniels)

On September 21, Sid Daniels and I made a trip to Point Pe1ee National Parkwhere we met up with Alan Wormington. We were not optimistic en route as a majorcold front had crossed southern Ontario the day before and we measured the pre-dawntemperature at Hamilton as 0.8·C. There was thick frost on cars, roofs and lawns!What transpired was merely the best day any of us had experienced for immigrantvagrant butterflies (also see Section 4.8). Most pertinent to this note, we ob­served four oco7a, obtaining three of them. All were feeding on Spotted Knapweed(Centaurea macu7osa), virtually the only nectar source available on account of asummer-long drought.

The Ocola Skipper is known to migrate northward in summer and early fall fromits normal range in the coastal plain of the southeastern Gulf states (Op1er &Krizek 1984:212). More specifically, it occurs on the Eastern Seaboard coastalplain regularly north to extreme southeastern Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) andsouthern New Jersey (Shapiro 1966:61) and rarely north to Staten Island NY wherethere are three records (Shapiro 1974:28).

West of the Appalachians it also has occurred as a rare immigrant in the tierof states to the south of the Great Lakes. There is a record from SW Illinois, nearSt. Louis, MO (Irwin & Downey 1973:5) and it is described as "exceedingly rare" inIndiana with records from three counties in the northern part of the state (Shull1987:74-75). It is interesting that Ohio apparently has the most records of anystate adjacent to Ontario. The Ohio Lepidopterists' unpublished data sent to me byDavid K. Parshall reveal seven records over the last 86 years from across thestate. The specimen from the extreme northwest part of the state was the northern­most on record before these Ontario specimens were recorded.

What conditions in 1991 were conducive to bringing these and other summermigrants to Ontario? It seems likely that what is required are good conditions forbreeding within the insect's normal range coupled with ideal conditions as sub­sequent generations expand northward. Certainly, 1991 met these requirements inOntario and the eastern U.S. Toronto, for example, was the warmest in recordedweather history (Aarsteinsen 1991) with temperatures in the first eight monthshigher than average. Parshall (pers comrn) stated that summer 1991 was the driest onrecord for much of Ohio. All but one of those northern extra-1imita1 records forwhich dates were available occurred between the end of August and mid October.Given the virtual absence of records from the Appalachians with but one record fromcentral Pennsylvania (Opler 1982) it seems very likely that our Oco1as moved up theMississippi Valley. The Sept. 7 Hamilton specimen was the most worn, perhaps anindication that it had travelled furthest. RBG meteorological records (1991) revealhigh temperatures and prevailing winds from the west and southwest for Sept. 5 - 7which may well have brought this skipper to the northernmost location everrecorded.

The Point Pe1ee records are, however, in some ways the most interesting.Since 13 days separated them from the Hamilton record and some were much fresher,they suggest that there was a widespread northern movement taking place over a timeperiod of several weeks. During the period September 15 - 18 southern Ontario ex­perienced tropical Gulf air with strong SW winds and record highs at Hamilton onthe 15th and 16th respectively of 32 and 33 degrees (RBG 1991). Immediately on theheels of this phenomenon a strong cold front passed through bringing cold tempera­tures, considerable cloud cover and brisk NW winds on the 19th and 20th. It ispossible that these and some of the other butterflies at Point Pe1ee that day (A.eampestris, C. eth7ius) had reached the province a few days earlier and been pushedsouth from points inland and to the north and concentrated on the peninsula in akind of reverse migration well known to occur with birds at Point Pe1ee undersimilar circumstances during spring migration. Of all the other known vagrantnorthern records of oeo7a all but one were of single individuals and that was oftwo in Ohio (O.K. Parshall pers comm). It seems likely that there were other widelydistributed P. oeo7a in the province last September in addition to the fivedescribed here.

Strangely, at the time of writing, I have heard of no other 1991 extra-limi­tal records for oeo78 or indeed of these other species despite correspondence withParshall and with Lepidopterists' Society zone co-ordinators L.A. Ferge (CentralRegion) and W.O. Winter (Northeast Region). In fact, Winter reports that the onlyoeo7a record for 1991 was at the head of Chesapeake Bay, where they may normally befound in September. Surely they must have occurred in those states to the south andwest of Ontario but gone undetected.

4.10 Brazilian Skipper (Ca7podes eth7ius): New to Ontario and Canadaby Alan Wormington

On September 21, 1991, a fresh specimen of Brazilian Skipper(Ca7podeseth7ius) was obtained at Point Pe1ee National Park, Essex County, by the author,Sidney M. Daniels and Robert H. Curry. This individual, first spotted by SMD, wasfound at the west side of the park's Tip where it was initially observed feeding onSpotted Knapweed (Centaurea macu7osa) , a common flower at this site. The specimencurrently resides in the collection of the author.

The Brazilian Skipper is a tropical species ranging north as a permanentresident to the Gulf Coast in Texas and Florida. However,the species is a strongmigrant and each summer may colonize areas further north, particularly along theAtlantic Coast as far as Virginia(Op1er 1984: 261-262; Scott 1986: 466). Recordsof the Brazilian Skipper between the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast are spotty and veryfew in number (Op1er 1983). The most northerly records I could locate are fornorthern Illinois (Chicago) in 1923 (Irwin & Downey 1973: 5);southeast Ohio (VintonCounty) on July 31, 1982 (David K. Parshall, pers. comm.); and southeast New York(Albany County) in 1893 (Shapiro 1974: 28).

The Brazilian Skipper was encountered on a truly exceptional day for butter­flies at Point Pe1ee, as a massive influx of southern immigrants had recentlyoccurred; on September 21 the following were also recorded in the vicinity of theTip: 38 Fiery Skipper (Hy7ephi7a phy7eus), 30 Buckeye (Junonia coenia), 9 TheSachem (Atalopedes campestris) , 5 Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) , 40co1aSkipper (Panoquina oco7a) and one Wild Indigo Dusky-Wing (Erynnis baptisiae).

Brazilian Skipper (Ca7podes eth7ius) from PointPelee National Park, Essex Co. Sept. 21, 1991.

(Wingspan of specimen - 4.8 em).

An analysis of recent weather disclosed what had happened to produce such aninflux of species, including the Brazilian Skipper. On September 14-15 it was ex­tremely hot (temperatures over 90 F.) with strong south winds. It was still hot onSeptember 17, but a thorough search of the Tip area (by Kirk Zufelt, pers. comm.)revealed very little of interest. Then, during September 18-20 inclusive, anintense cold front passed through with associated rain and continuous cloudiness.The weather finally cleared on September 21, and although it was rather cool withlow humidity, the Tip area was alive with butterflies. What had undoubtedlyhappened was the species involved arrived over a broad front during the hot weatherof September 14-17, but it was the subsequent cold front that concentrated numbersat the Tip: presumably the direction of flight was now south, but the butterfliesencountered the barrier of Lake Erie. This observed phenomenon is not unique, assimilar concentrations at the Tip of Point Pelee have been recorded for both birdsand dragonflies on a regular basis. In the case of dragonflies, in the fall it isquite normal to see tremendous numbers at the Tip of Point Pelee immediately afterthe passage of a cold front.

4.11 Further Notes on Zarucco Dusky-Wing in Ontario by Alan Wormington

In a previous note (Wormington 1991), I detailed the capture of the ZaruccoDusky-Wing (ssp. funera71s) at Point Pelee National Park on October 6, 1990. Atthe time of publication, it was uncertain if this represented the first record forOntario as both Gregory (1975) and Campbell et a7. (1986: 86-88) listed the speciesas occurring in Ontario. In Campbell et a7. this was based on four supposedspecimens collected in 1935 and still extant: one at the Rouge River (MetropolitanToronto) and three at Kitchener; that these were all recorded in 1935 is apparentlycoincidental. Recently I have examined all of these specimens and the findings canbe given here.

The Rouge River specimen (collected by T. Irwin on June 20, 1935) is in theCanadian National Collection (Ottawa) and is the nominate zarucco subspecies(identification also confirmed by J. Donald Lafontaine). Curiously, the specimenwas found in the collection amongst a series of Horace's Dusky-Wing (E. horatius)from the United States.

The supposed occurrence of Zarucco Dusky-Wing at Kitchener, based on threespecimens in the University of Waterloo (WAT) , is erroneous. Most of the collectionat WAT consists of a catalogued journal and corresponding numbered specimens.There is a journal entry for three specimens of Zarucco Dusky-Wing (collected byE.l. James in 1935), but the corresponding specimens in the collection are verysmall and are obviously Columbine Dusky-Wing (Erynnis 7uc17ius). It appears thatonly the journal was used as a source of information (by Campbell et a7.?), but thespecimens were apparently never examined to confirm the identification. This errorprovides an excellent example as to why one should be cautious of records in theliterature, especially those where the basis of the published record is unknown ornot clearly stated.

In summary, Ontario has two authentic records of Zarucco Dusky-Wing: one ofthe nominate subspecies zarucco at the Rouge River (June 20, 1935) and one ofsubspecies funera7is at Point Pelee National Park (October 6, 1990).

4.12 A Range Extension for the Large Marb1ewing (Euchloe auson1des)by G.C. & S.M. Daniels

The Large Marb1ewing (Euchloe ausonides) was first mentioned in a T.E.A.Summary in 1971 and then not again until 1976. Since that time, it has been recor­ded regularly in northwestern Ontario, primarily the Thunder Bay District, where 20of the 25 previously recorded sites are located. A disjunct site on ManitoulinIsland was first reported in 1978.

On June 8, 1991, while walking along the railroad tracks at Fraserdale in theCochrane District, a small white butterfly qUickly approached us from the north. Itwas a fresh specimen of E. auson1des and four additional specimens were seen duringthe two days we spent in this vicinity. Fraserdale is located on Hwy. 634 north ofSmooth Rock Falls, and the tracks of the Ontario Northland Railroad proceed northfrom there to Moosonee. Discovery of this species here represents a 320 km easternrange extension, the first record for Cochrane District and the first record fornortheastern Ontario. It is about 500 km north of the Manitoulin site.

Many of the known sites for this butterfly are along major lake shores, east­west highways and railroad tracks, although the Fraserda1e site does not particu­larly fit these criteria. In future, auson1des should be sought in Mayor Junealong Highway 11 west of Smooth Rock Falls. It often appears to prefer rather openwaste areas.

4.13 The Grayling (Cercyon1s pegala) North of Lake Superior by Greg Daniels

The distribution of pegala is not well defined north of Lake Superior betweenSault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Until now, only a single T.E.A. observation inMarathon, Thunder Bay District (1980), lies in this range. Similarly, the publica­tion "Butterflies and Skippers on Northern Ontario" by Riotte (1971) contains onlya single record from Nipigon, Thunder Bay District for this area. Riotte's list isa thorough and reliable document which is a compilation of records from the ROM,AMNH, CARN, CNC, LYM and various private collections. A third source, "The OntarioButterfly Atlas" (1991) confirms the two above mentioned locations and shows noadditional sites for pega7a north of Lake Superior.

On July 7, 1991, I collected two specimens of pegala some 15 km west ofGeraldton (Thunder Bay District) and another specimen 15 km further west of thissite. This is approximately 70 km north of Nipigon, and represents a range exten­sion for northern central Ontario. East of these two Geraldton locations the mostnortherly location for pega7a is approximately 100 km south in latitude at a point5 km north of Nellie Lake (Cochrane District - see T.E.A. Summary. 23-91).Although substantial work has been carried out on this species in northeasternOntario (see T.E.A publications .'s 9-78 and 11-80 to 14-83), more effort should befocused on areas north of Lake Superior so that a more accurate picture of thedistribution may be compiled.

4.14 Description of an Aberrant Crescent: P. bates11, or tharos?? by Greg Daniels

Two crescent butterflies were collected on July 7, 1991 in a bog 13 km northof Aroland (Thunder Bay District). One of the specimens was a normal P. bates1i,(figure 1) while the other was an aberrant form which may be either batesii ortharos (figure 2). The figures show the dorsal and ventral views of both specimens.

Figure 2. Aberrant specimen (x 3).

On the dorsal surface of the normal specimen, the hindwing is patterned withmultiple fine black lines (1) toward the wing base at the body. In contrast, theaberrant has a well defined jagged black band (2) and a relatively large clearorange area (3) towards the body. On the verso of the normal specimen there are anumber of black patches on (4) the forewing. Although in some specimens these aregreatly reduced, they are nearly always visible. In the case of the aberrant, theblack markings are reduced to a few dispersed scales (5) at best. The hindwing

-23-

verso of the normal specimen shows the typical prominent row of six or seven post­median spots (6). In the case of the aberrant, these may only be distinguished withthe aid of a hand lens because they are reduced in size and obscured by the en­larged dark patch (7) which is located along the outer margin. This patch continuesin a diffused manner toward the base of the hindwing (8) in the aberrant whereas itis restricted to the area near the outer margin in the normal batesii (9). Thefinal feature observable on the hindwing verso is that the fine brown lines whichnormally cover the most of the wing of a normal batesii (10) are confined to thebasal and subbasal portions of the wing (11) in the aberrant.

I do not believe this aberrant can be conclusively identified on the basis ofwing pattern alone, although antennal club colouration may be a helpful clue (seeScott, 1986, pp. 309). The extensive brown patches on the hindwing verso of theaberrant could be associated with the tharos spring form "marcia" which is men­tioned in Klots (1951), Howe (1975) and Scott (1986). However, Howe states that thepattern of batesii females sometimes approaches this form of tharos. Therefore thiscannot be a discriminating factor in ascertaining this aberrant's (a female)identity. Either way (tharos or batesii) , this specimen is unique in pattern and isan exciting subject for study.

4.15 A New Food Plant for the Old World Swallowtail (Papi710 machaon hudsonianus).by Robert Curry

In 1991, I spent the period July 26 to August 3 at Longridge Point on theOntario shore of James Bay as a volunteer with the Ministry of Natural ResourcesHabitat Based Wildlife Assessment of Ontario's Sub-Arctic Coast Project. LongridgePoint is in Cochrane District (app. 51°30'N, 80·40'W) about 55 km due north of Moo­sonee and 52 km NNW up the coast from the Moose River estuary. Along the lowerinside slope of the (last) raised sand/gravel beach ridge, one of the commonerherbaceous plants was Scotch Lovage (Ligusticum s. scoticum) and it occurred inextensive stands. Its habitat was along the borders of supratidal flats, pools andmarshes; this zone would probably receive doses of salt bay water during autumnstorms.

On July 29 I discovered large machaon larvae on these plants and subsequentlyfound them to be quite common. By examining plants where I walked but withoutmaking an exhaustive systematic search I found three or four dozen of these larvaeover the next several days. Some were large and fat, about 5 cm long (not measured)and were presumably fifth instar while others were smaller and of an earlier stage.On those plants with larger larvae (only one was found per plant) not only theleaves but also the umbel was consumed. To my eye, and without direct comparison,these larvae were virtually identical to those of the Black Swallowtail (P. po7y­xenes). They were bluish-green with black cross bands separating the segments andhaving yellow spots on the black bands. In fact, I briefly considered po7yxenes

-24-

before remembering that the northern edge of its range is 400 or more krn to thesouth (Scott 1986). I attempted to rear one of the larvae, but it unfortunatelysuccumbed to mould.

At this time there were no adults flying. However, an earlier study group wasat Longridge during the first half of June. The birdwatchers there at that timerecorded their butterfly observations and the observation forms revealed thatsingle "Tiger Swallowtails" were observed on June 6, 7, 9 & 13. The most specifichabitat descriptions given were by R.D. (Doug) McRae, who wrote "outer dry ridge(camp)"., This is precisely where I found the larvae! While it is possible to findP. g7aucus here, the birders are not so familiar with these butterfly species to beaware of the differences in appearance or even of the possibility of machaon.Almost certainly then, these were the adult machaon which produced the larvae foundin late July!

The food plant (L. scoticum) , is interesting in several regards. It is amember of the Umbelliferae, rare in Ontario and only found on the southwest coastof James Bay from Attawapiskat south to the mouth of the Moose River (Pryer 1987).It is a maritime species (another common name is Sea Lovage) and is also foundalong Canada's east coast south to New York (Pryer 1987). Apparently it is afavourite hostplant of the Short-Tailed Swallowtail (P. brevicauda), (Scott 1986).This is the first confirmed food plant of machaon in Ontario (A. Hanks and Q.F.Hess pers. comm.). Other plants must be used since the butterfly occurs across thenorthern portion of the province well away from marine coasts, and various membersof the Compositae are used elsewhere (Scott 1986).

My thanks to OMNR and to project co-ordinator Nancy Wilson for making theseobservations possible and for supplying me with the appropriate butterfly obser­vation forms.

4.16 An OWl Moth (Thysania zenobia) at Point Pelee by Tim Sabo.

While making observations at Point Pelee at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 1st, I observeda large pale 'lep' flying from the beach area towards the grove of trees beside theTip kiosk. It flew low to the ground with rapid shallow wingbeats, and was largerthan several Monarch butterflies it flew near. From 60 feet away, I could see itwas a whitish coloured adult with some dark markings. Being unfamiliar with any­thing like it, I quickly approached, suspecting an aberrant or leucistic TigerSwallowtail. I got to within 15-20 feet of the insect as it flew through the lowbushes and my view of it in flight was unobstructed. I noted its size as about 5-6inches across; the wings long and swallowtail-like, creamy white in colourationwith jagged dark lines across them and some dark streaking. The hindwing appearedto have a ragged edge. The insect flew within 2 feet of the ground, often flyingthrough the scrub or just above it until I lost sight of it in a brushy area andwas unsure whether it stopped or continued on. Still thinking that what I saw was abutterfly, I even checked the nearby Monarch roost for a pale specimen! A brieffurther search failed to turn up the insect.

-25-

Later in the morning, I met Alan Wormington and told him of the sighting, andthat I figured it may have been some sort of aberrant. He immediately mentioned theOwl Moth as a possible candidate for what I saw and we searched the area again butwithout success. Back at the car, I checked out the Owl Moth in the Peterson FieldGuide and thought the plate closely matched what I had seen except for being toosmall. After reading the text and learning that the true size was 2 x the platedepiction, I was convinced that I had indeed seen an Owl Moth. With the winds outof the southwest, Alan did not think the moth would leave the tip area, so at duskwe set out bait in an attempt to lure the rarity in. However, it did not reappear.

If this record is indeed of the Owl Moth, it would be the fourth record forthe species for Canada, according to Alan Wormington.

4.17 Butterfly Sampling in Algoma District by Prof. D.E. Gaskin

On June 5 & 6, on the property of the Stokley Creek Lodge, at Karalash Cor­ners, north of Sault Ste. Marie, Elizabeth Littler and I carried out a survey ofthe butterfly populations. This was done by means of a series of transects, over a10 hour period, covering about 18 km in repetitions over about 6 km of tracks. Thetotal number of butterflies seen was 344, and they were distributed as follows:

Strangely, not one specimen of P.rapae was seen! Other records for the same area inprevious seasons (1989/90) include: T. TineoTa; P.rapae; C.phiTodlce; C.eurytheme;H.titus; S. Tiparops; S.cybeTe; S.aphrodlte; S.atTantis; N.j-aTbum; P.comma;E.anthedon and C.pegaTa.

This gives 35 species for the locality to date, within a relatively brief timeframe.

4.18 Record Early Butterfly Dates in 1991 by Alan Wormington

No botanist, ornithologist or lepidopterist will argue that the spring of1991 was very early in Ontario, probably earlier than ever previously recorded. Asa result, a great many species of butterflies emerged on record-early dates for theprovince.

To put this phenomenon on record, I contacted several active collectorsacross the province to ask for their early 1991 records. Once received, I deter­mined if they were record-early and what the previous early date for Ontario was,including the year. These were primarily obtained from past T.E.A. annual summa­ries (1969 - 1990 inclusive), plus a few additional sources (regional publications,

-26-

databases covering the Hamilton and Point Pe1ee areas, and compilations from exami­ning museum collections, etc.). A few problems exist with T.E.A. annual summariesas typographical errors undoubtedly exist; for example, some dates were listed as"June" that I'm sure should be "July." Many of these apparent errors had to beignored, except in cases where terms such as "very early" were attached to therecord.

Excluding the listing of White Admiral (a subspecies) and Fiery Skipper (animmigrant), a total of 43 resident species (as listed below) were recorded during1991 on record early dates for Ontario. The 43 species represent almost exactly onethird of all species (about 126) that are considered resident in the province; thisstatistic is remarkable, as the earliest recorded dates for all remaining specieshave occurred during all other years combined. Several of the 1991 records aretruly exceptional, and one must wonder how these species were capable of such rapiddevelopment to appear on these early dates. Extreme examples (compare these to theprevious early date) include Cross Line Skipper and Little Glassy Wing in Windsor(June 8); Dun Skipper in Ori11ia (June 7) and Thunder Bay District (June 10);Viceroy in Windsor (May 11); and Northern Pearly-Eye in Thunder Bay District (June14) -- all of these species hibernate as incomplete larva.

The spring of 1991 was characterized as both warmer-than-usua1 and sunnier.An article published in The Toronto Star (December 31, 1991), based on downtownToronto data collected by the Ontario Climate Centre, shows in graphical formabove-average temperatures and sunshine for the first six months of 1991. Moresignificantly, the charts show upward "blips" for temperature in May, and forsunshine during June; presumably these conditions were responsible for most of theearly butterfly dates, as this is the main time for development in these species.

Both 1977 and 1987 were also noted for very early butterfly occurrences; forexample, note that on the list below 20 species were observed record-early in 1987(prior to 1991). For 1977 Sidney M. Daniels stated (T.E.A. Occasional Publication#9-78, pages 11-12) "by July 1st, 37 of the 56 species encountered were earlierthan any date I had personally seen .... on the average, each of the 37 butterflieswere seen 10 days earlier than previously .... " He further states that southernOntario received 20% more solar energy than normal during the spring of 1977; belownormal snowfall through March and April probably allowed the ground to betterabsorb heat; and overnight frosts were few.

4.19 Rearing Notes from Northumberland County, 1991 by Dr. W.J.D. Eberlie

The American Painted lady (V. virginiensis) was abundant again in North­umberland Co. this year after having been seen rarely in the previous few years.

-28-

The number of clumps of the food-plant, Pearly Everlasting (Ansphslis msrgsri­tSC8S) has also declined in recent years in the southern part of the county, dueto being over-grown by shrubs or to road development etc. However, I first sawthis butterfly on May 22 and on June 8 in the Ganaraska Forest I was lucky enoughto see a female intent on ovipositing on Pearly Everlasting. I watched it lay anegg on the underside of a leaf and picked the whole plant in order to have acloser look, whereupon the female followed the plant up to my eye level and pro­ceeded to try and lay another egg, unsuccessfully, just in front of my eyes. I wasunable to clearly see the egg with my naked eye but at home with the aid of amicroscope, I found the pale green egg well hidden under the dense hairs of theunderside of the leaf. Later, I found many more larvae on the stems of the food­plant I had collected. In fact, every clump of the plant that I found had somelarvae concealed in nests of leaves. This year the larvae that I collected did nothave the orange or red spots at the base of the dorsal spines as is described inthe literature. Later in the summer, after my larvae had pupated, I did findanother group in Northumberland Forest with these more typical red spots. Many ofmy larvae had been attacked by parasitic wasps and only three adults emerged!

The Painted Lady (V. csrdui) was also common this year, being first seen inNorthumberland Co. on June 4th. Later in the month, larvae were very common onBull Thistles (Cirsium vulgsre), but I found none on other species of thistle.Bull Thistle is certainly the most prickly of thistles and with the nest that thelarvae make in the leaves of the food-plant, they should certainly be well protec­ted from birds and humans, but not from parasitic wasps. Of the seven larvae Ireared to pupation, only one adult successfully emerged, wasps emerging from theremainder.

The Spring Azure (C. lsdon) was out in good numbers in May of this year,especially in Northumberland Forest and the Oak Ridge Moraine area of the county.One of the plants that I have seen females of this species ovipositing on is NewJersey Tea (Cesnothus smericsns). Like most things, it flowered early this year,and so toward the end of June I started searching the flower heads for larvae.Eventually I found one, not in or on a flower head, but on a flower stem, and asit was only 3 mm long, I felt it was quite an achievement. I then collected abunch of flower heads for the larvae to feed on and on arrival home, found thatthese flower heads concealed another four larvae. A week later, I found anotherlarva being attended by ants. This reminded me of my school days when the closelyrelated C. srgiolus used to be common and I would find larvae quite easily on thebuds of English Ivy in late September, being guided to them by the streams ofblack ants attending them. So far, none of the pupae that I have obtained byrearing have survived the winter, which is strange in what is so clearly a hardyspecies, nor have any second brood adults emerged from them.

1991 was a year during which many exciting new records were reported and theknowledge of the Ontario butterfly and moth fauna was increased. Intensive fieldwork was undertaken by many observers and our overall data base was increased.Examples are the work of Lloyd Taman in the Temiskaming District and Bill Lamondand Alan Wormington in the Hamilton/Wentworth Study area. Other workers ranged farand wide collecting the additional data which forms the basis of this summary.

The overall weather patterns contributed a great deal to the picture, withtemperatures above normal from April to August and an early start to the summer,which arrived about a month early! There were huge variations in rainfall, though

-29-

some areas were much dryer than normal. The warm weather extended into September,when temperatures dipped in most areas. However, there was a heat wave in mid­month which appeared to affect the 1epidoptera.

Some outstanding records were the Oco1a Skipper (Panoquina ocola), found inboth the Hamilton and Point Pe1ee areas, and the Brazilian Skipper (Ca7podesethlius) at Point Pe1ee. Also seen at Point Pe1ee by Tim Sabo was an Owl Moth(Thysania zenobia) and a Black Witch (Asca7apha odorata) was seen in the Torontoarea by Fred Bodsworth, the well-known naturalist. Kirk Zufelt found three speci­mens of the elusive Garita Skipper, which had not been reported since 1978. TheFiery Skipper had a banner year, appearing as early as June 14 in Windsor, andbeing found in many localities in great numbers. Two new moths, (Stiriodes obtusaand Ca70thysanis amaturaria), both first Canadian records, were found by MikeMatheson in Point Pe1ee National Park and another (Thioptera nigrofimbria) wasdiscovered by Alan Wormington and a TEA group on an August field trip.

Searches were made in the Port Franks and St. Williams localities for theKarner Blue and Frosted Elfin butterflies. Two adults of the Karner Blue were seenin the St. Williams locality, but none in the Port Franks area, and the FrostedElfin was not reported. Both species were placed on the Endangered Species list in1990. The West Virginia White was found in a number of new localities in 1991, butsome of the areas where it was previously known were lost through activities ofcommercial operations. This appeared to be a result of the species being removedfrom the Endangered Species list in 1990. The two year study being made on thespecies for the Ministry of Natural Resources was finished in 1991, and the reporton the study is now completed. Overall, populations appeared to be reduced whencompared to levels recorded in 1990.

The Inornate Ringlet continued its southwesterly range expansion, with re­cords being made for both Middlesex (one specimen at Thedford) and Lambton Coun­ties (specimens near Corbett and at Parkhill Dam). The spread of this species hasbeen detailed in a number of past TEA summaries.

A good deal of work was carried out on the Monarch in 1991, with surveysbeing carried out by Provincial Park personnel. Populations appear to have beenundergoing a decline in the past few years, but their levels appeared to increasein 1991, possibly as a result of the warmer conditions pertaining throughout theprovince. The butterflies were still at Presqu'i1e Provincial Park in October.

A new food plant was recorded for the Old World Swallowtail at LongridgePoint on the west coast of James Bay. This was submitted by Bob Curry, who spentsome time as a volunteer with the Ministry of Natural Resources WildlifeAssessment Project on the Sub-Arctic Coast.

Range extensions or new localities were reported for a number of species,including: Euch70e ausonides; Co7ias pa7aeno; Strymon 7iparops; Lycaeides idas;Coenonympha inornata; Cercyonis pegala and Oeneis chryxus.

Another exciting addition to the Summary is the Continuous Cyclical Report ofMoths in Ontario, 1986-1991, compiled by Duncan Robertson. The list starts withthe families Eriocraniidae to Drepanidae and will continue in future editions ofthe Annual Summary. The aim is to cover all the family records and then go back tothe beginning and update the listing.
