Papilio canadensis

Canadian Tiger Swallowtail

The wingspan of this particular species is 67 to 80 mm. There are two adult morphs, yellow and black, although the black form is considered quite rare. This species is very similar to the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, but has a noticeably smaller wingspan. Unlike the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail the yellow marginal band is continuous. The hindwing has many orange scales, on both morphs.

 

The caterpillar is large and green, with an enlarged head. It has 4 yellow dots and 2 false eyes with bluish centers. In profile, this caterpillar appears snake-like. The immature larvae are brown and white to mimic bird droppings, making them unappealing to predators.

 

This butterfly is found in most provinces and territories in Canada, as its name implies. Its range extends north of the Arctic Circle in Yukon, and to Churchill in Manitoba, Little Shagamu River in Ontario, and to Schefferville in Quebec.

 

Adults fly during spring and summer and there is 1 brood. Females lay eggs singly on the host plant. The caterpillar will fold the host plants leaves and tie them together with silk they will then eat from this structure. The pupae will over winter then emerge in May.

Underwater fall

What is the prettiest thing in fall?

Exploring life

Yep, life under water always seems more exciting than on the ground. Bottoms up and explore!

Cottage reflection

I mean, instead of a city life, that would be something to jump to.

Greatest chipmunk experience

I experienced something great in the wilderness of Nova Scotia. Never I thought that those shy and fast moving animals as chipmunk's could be tamed to feed from a hand. I think the love, passion and care all came together. I am very glad to experience something like this, but again, I am very sad as the titu portrayed on the photo was killed, as in some areas they are pest. Well, there you go - the greatest experience and a vast lost hand in hand as most of the times in life. It seems.

Nature's green

is the love of all green.

Fall Teele

From the window

I think it is cool to take photos from the car window and experience the feeling of getting caught or getting away with it.

Perished

Last Saturday I posted a photo of a live hummingbird, before I got to see that one I encountered a dead one. I took few macro photos of it, before I had a proper burying. You can admire beautiful red and green colored tiny feathers of this tiny bird, also you can see the tiny tongue out of the beak.
