It’s great you saw Papilio machaon. When I was there I saw none, but did see plenty of canadensis

I don't know if you're going up to the North Slope, but I've been there twice and the collecting is spectacular IF you get the weather.

There ought to be a bunch of Erebia species this time of the year... perhaps a bit further north?
Were the P. machaon fresh? They (and the glaucus ssp) were all in tatters when I was there this time of year, many seasons ago...

Yes the machaon were fresh (and small!) |

Sorry for going ghost. I had a lot happen this week! Truck got stuck near a wetland, had a problem with the ignition, and managed to lose my phone in a bog after snapping a pic of a boloria. Thankfully it was old and needing replacement anyway. Barely any non bug wildlife out here except for a bald eagle and a moose. 6/29 park highway toward Fairbanks... Colias gigantea Colias palaeno Pieris angelika Agriadea opilete Icaricia saepiolus Oeneis jutta Oeneis bore Leminitis arthemis - white admiral Papilio canadensis Boloria eunomia Boloria chariclea 7/1 Eagle summit/twelvemile summit. Ran into two other lepheads here  Oeneis melissa Oeneis polixenes Oeneis bore Oeneis jutta Oeneis philipi? (tentatively polixenes, but was found in bog below twelvemile) Erebia youngi - four dotted alpine Erebia mackenlyensis Erebia fasciata - banded alpine Boloria chariclea Boloria astarte Boloria eunomia Boloria polaris Boloria improba Parnassius eversmanii Papilio machaon Colias nastes - Labrador sulphur Colias hecla Colias palaeno Pieris angelika 7/2 wolf point trail near Denali. Overcast Erebia pawlowskii - theano alpine Oeneis jutta Colias palaeno Boloria eunomia Boloria chariclea Pyrgus centuaruae |

All of these are new for me except chariclea, so I'm having a blast. I didn't get to go up the Dalton due to weather and car issues. Will have to do another trip specifically for that a little earlier in the year for a couple of weeks.
