--000000000000df6bee05f2ee6197 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I was also surprised when reading another butterfly book that asserted the lesser frit taxa butleri and grandis are "habitat forms"; claiming butleri as a tundra bug and grandis as a forest bug. That is misleading because butleri is NOT limited to tundra habitats in Alaska and Yukon. Note that the butleri specimen I illustrated yesterday is from a forest population. And grandis is not limited to forest habitat. These sympatric and synchronic (flying together) Yukon specimens were not in forest habitat: https://flic.kr/p/PnHzLo And in Alaska this example of grandis-butleri sympatry is also from non-forest habitat https://flic.kr/p/2ocWD73 -- Norbert Kondla Calgary, Alberta, Canada (elevation 1060 metres asl) https://www.flickr.com/photos/118126948@N03/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
