Coordinator notes: An early season individual. If you zoom in and look closely at the yellow submarginal band on the ventral FW, initially the spots are fused (eliminates pure glaucus), however they break apart more distally, which leans away from pure canadensis. The dark line along the edge of the blue on the HW is straight (scalloped on glaucus), and the HW submarginal orange spots are more square-like (crescents in glaucus).. Therefore, since we’re seeing characteristics for both, It must be the Papilio canadensis X glaucus. -jmgesell
