This species was once a regular visitor to Southern Ontario, but it hasn't been reported very often in recent years.  It has been known to show up as far north as the Ottawa area.  So far, I've only seen and photographed this one individual.

To see where this butterfly has been reported, visit:  The Ontario Butterfly Atlas Online
