Coordinator notes: Nice find! I captured a photo of one in Douglas County, MN, just north of Alexandria at Lake Carlos State Park on June 21st. It's actually being featured in the next edition of "American Butterflies" from NABA. Seemed to be quite a year for this species in the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes! -Jeff Gesell
