Observation date: July 15, 2024
Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: very fresh condition and large size seems consistent with the Canadian/Eastern Tiger Swallowtail "hybrid"
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: July 16, 2024
Coordinator notes: Correct, this would most likely be the new species coined the "Midsummer Tiger," which isn't a true hybrid but shows characteristics of both species. P. canadensis x glaucus is being used as a generic term until any official research is released and the taxon is named. -jmgesell
