THE T.E.A. INSECT COLLECTING CODE

"Code for Insect Collecting" for the I.E.A. sunvnarized and paraphrased from the"Code for Insect Collecting" issued by the Joint Conmittee for the Conservation ofBritish Insects in 1971 and also from the statement of the conmittee on collectingpolicy of the Lepidopterists' Society in the U.S.A.

Benefits of collecting 1epidoptera and other insects:

1. It is a means of introducing people, particularly children, to an awareness andstudy of an important part of their natural environment.

2. It has an essential role in the elucidation of scientific information, both forits own sake and as a basis from which to develop rational means for protectingthe environment and its resources.

3. It is a recreational activity which can be pursued in a manner not detrimentalto the environment.

purposes of collecting:

1. To create a reference collection for study, appreciation and education.

2. To document regional diversity, frequency and variability of species and asvoucher material for published records. This includes the important matter ofmonitoring the fluctuation of populations.

3. To document faunal representation in environments threatened with alteration byman or natural forces.

4. To participate in the development of regional checklists and institutional re­ference collections. The Canadian National Collection and collections inmuseums and universities have depended to a large extent on the efforts ofamateur collectors.

5. To complement a planned research endeavour.

Ethics of collecting:

1. A collection of adults should be limited to sampling the population concerned.

2. Insects should be examined while alive, and if not required, released wherethey were captured.

3. The same species should not be taken in numbers year after year from the samelocality.

4. Specimens for exchange should be taken sparingly.

5. Insects should not be collected for conmercia1 purposes; for such purposes theyshould be reared or obtained from old collections.

6. Species which are listed as threatened, vulnerable or rare, should be collectedwith the greatest restraint. It is suggested that one pair is sufficient. Like­wise, one pair of distinct local forms should also be regarded as sufficient.

1

7. When collecting where the extent or fragility of the population is unknown,great caution and restraint should be exercised.

8. Previously unknown localities for rare species should be reported, eg. to theeditors of the T.E.A. Seasonal Summary, but the exact locality should not bepublished, only the township or nearest town or village.

9. Light traps. Live traps are preferable and should be visited regularly and thecatch should not be killed wholesale for subsequent examination.

10. Always respect restrictions on collecting in national or provincial parks,nature reserves and conservation areas. Cause as little damage to the environ­ment as possible.

11. Rearing from a captured fertilized female, or from pairing in captivity is pre­ferable to taking a series in the field, if for personal collection.

12. Never collect more larvae than can be supported by the available food supply.

13. Insects reared in excess of need should be released in the original locality.

14. Malaise traps probably shuld not be used by amateurs. In any case, they shouldbe limited to planned studies.

Responsibilities for collected material:

1. All specimens should be preserved with full data attached.

2. All materials should be protected from physical damage and deterioration.

3. Collections should be available for examination by qualified researchers.

4. Collections, with their full data, should be willed or offered to an appro­priate scientific institution, eg. a museum or university, in case of lack ofspace, loss of interest or death.

5. Type specimens, especially holotypes or a110types, should be deposited inappropriate institutions.

Related activities:

1. Collecting should include field notes regarding habitat, we ther conditions andother pertinent information.

2. Recording of observations of behaviour & biological interaction should receiveas high a priority as collecting; such observations are particularly welcomedfor inclusion in T.E.A. Seasonal Summaries.

3. Photographic records are to be encouraged, but it is emphasized that full datafor each photograph should be recorded.

4. Education of the public regarding collecting and conservation as reciprocallybeneficial activities, should be undertaken whenever possible.

2. 1989 Weather {based on "Climatic Perspectives (Environment Canada - Vol. 11).

~ - Cold except for a warm Easter weekend (25 - 26). The north and northwesternparts were the coldest since March 1972.Snowfall was generally near to above normal. Wiarton recorded the most snow sincerecords began in 1948 while Ottawa was the snowiest since 1974. On the low side wassouthwestern & south-central Ontario. London recorded th lowest total since 1962.

April - Ontario experienced a very cool April. In addition, total precipitationamounts revealed a dry month everywhere despite frequent rain and snow showersduring the first two weeks.At Sarnia, Trenton and Muskoka it was the coldest April since 1975. This Aprilmarked the third successive month of colder than normal temperatures in Ontario.

~ - A cold first half was followed by a warm second half. Temperatures were 0.5to 1°C above normal in the south and 1 to 3 °C above normal in central and northernOntario. Southern Ontario had rainfalls of 120 to 200 ~ of normal. St. Catherineswas Ontario's wettest site as 145 mm of precipitation broke a May record datingback to 1971. St. Catherines received 8 em of wet snow on the 7th while Hamiltonreceived 11 em, which was their snowiest May on record. Windsor had the wettest Maysince 1968. Northeastern and extreme northwestern Ontario were also wet. Drierareas were the Lake Superior basin east to Manitoulin and west to Sioux Lookout.

~ - Mean temperatures averaged close to normal over nearly all of Ontario. Theonly significant exceptions were areas bordering Lake Superior where means were1.4°C below normal and over eastern Ontario where it was about 1°C above normal.Most of Ontario was wet with rainfall totalling 150 to 200 ~ of normal at manylocations. Kenora with 252 mm had the wettest June in 52 years. Rains were heavy insouth-central and southwestern Ontario. Much of the eastern part of northernOntario was dry with precipitation only half of normal.

Jyly - Temperatures averaged 1 to 2°C above normal with an interspersion of warmand cool spells. There were extremes of wetness and dryness and very high sunshinetotals. Essex County received 419 mm of rain on July 19 - 20 causing much floodingand damage. On July 26 - 27, Hamilton Airport received a deluge of 175 mm. Incontrast, much of central Ontario was extremely dry.

August - Across Ontario, near-normal temperatures were experienced, but there werewidely ranging rainfall totals. The highest temperature recorded was 34.30 C atThunder Bay while the coolest was -2°C at Moosonee. Rain in the north with belownormal sunshine helped to lower the forest fire hazard. Southern Ontario, ingeneral, was quite dry with total rainfall just 10 to 80 ~ of normal.

September - Temperatures across the northern two-thirds of Ontario were for themost part above normal, while colder than normal readings were experienced in thesouth. The first snow covered parts of northern Ontario on the 23rd. By the end ofthe month a killing frost hit many places in the south. September was a dry monthwith many areas receiving half the normal precipitation.

October - This was a month of contrasts. Whereas the first three weeks weregenerally cold and wet with some heavy snow in northern Ontario, the final weekfeatured sun, warm temperatures and balmy breezes. On the 12th Toronto received itsearliest snowfall in 37 years. Wawa's 44 em of snow and 15 em at Windsor set newrecords for October. The last week featured a fine Indian Summer and saw tempera­tures rise into the mid to high teens and low twenties over most of Ontario.

4.1 Life History Studies of the Mustard White, European Skipper, Pine Elfin &Northern Pearl Crescent by Dr. W.J.D. Eberlie

1. Pieris napi o7eracea - third brood reared.On July 14, 1989, I observed a P. napi fluttering along the edge of a hedge

in the middle of the town of Cobourg (Northumberland County). It was clearlyshowing ovipositing behaviour. I collected it and placed it in a container with agrowing water-cress plant. A couple of days later it commenced ovipositing on theunder surface of the upper leaves of the water-cress. After a further two days, Iremoved the butterfly and kept it for my collection as it was still undamaged, andit was so unusual to find this species in the middle of the town, many kilometresfrom its natural habitat. The ova hatched in an average of four-and-a-half days and

8

the larvae fed remarkably rapidly, the average time from hatching to pupation beingten days.Adults emerged from the pupae on the 9th and 10th of August; they all lookedexactly like the usual 2nd brood of P. napi. I have previously seen or collectedoccasional specimens of P. napi at the end of August, so I presume that in thisarea, i.e. Northumberland County, there can be a third brood of this butterfly. Ifso, I suspect that the usual foodplant is wild water-cress (Nasturtium officina7e)because the foodplant of the second brood, Dentar1a diphy77a, has died out by thetime the July adults are on the wing and I have indeed seen 2nd brood butterflieshovering around beds of wild water-cress, although I have not yet actually seenthem ovipositing. Moreover, in all Northumberland County "napi habitats" that Iknow of, there is a small creek either in or near the woods in which water-cr ssgrows.

2. Ovipositing behaviour of Thyme7icus 7ineo7aOn July 8th, 1989, in Northumberland Forest, I watched a female T. 7ineo7a

ovipositing on a grass stem. It was settled on the stem 7 or 8 em above the groundand seemed to spend an unusually long time getting into a satisfactory position. Itthen 'waggled' not just its abdomen, but the whole body, including its wings, fromside to side, both wings leaning in unison from side to side, not flapping itswings in the usual way that a butterfly does when settling. After it had flownaway, I collected the grass stem. I was quite unable to see the eggs. On returning

home, I looked more closely witha magnifying lens and discoveredthat the egg was hidden under thesheath of a grass blade (seephoto), which was tightly claspedagainst the stem and thereforequite invisible to me, or presu­mably any predator. Apparentlythis species hibernates in theegg stage and it is thus easy tosee how the ova would have beensafely transported across theAtlantic in hay, in the earlypart of the century. This ovi­positing behaviour is not men­tioned in any N. American bookson lepidoptera that I have read,although it is mentioned in theEnglish book "South's BritishButterflies" .

•3. Incisa7ia niphonThis year I was able to rear numbers of this species to the pupal stage. The

butterflies were very scarce this spring in Northumberland County but I collectedone female on May 23rd, in Northumberland Forest. I had previously reared thelarvae on White Pine in 1986, but this year I provided the female with Jack Pine(Pinus banksiana) and then Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) but no ova were laid. Finally,one week after I had collected the female, I offered her White Pine(Pinus strobus).Thereupon she immediately laid many ova on the buds of the needles, which thelarvae subsequently readily fed upon.

I feel, therefore, that I have confirmed that the foodplant of I. niphon inNorthumberland County is White Pine, and not as described in earlier books the"Hard Pines". It would, of course, be nice to confirm this by finding the larvae of

9

White Pine in the wild, and this could possibly be done by beating, but one wouldhave to wait for a year when the adults are numerous in May.

4. Phyciodes tharos/pascoensis.In 1988, I found first instar larvae of this butterfly on Aster umbellatus in

July. They ceased feeding and went into hibernation on August 6th. They did notsurvive the winter in my refrigerator, but if they had, I would have had a problemin feeding them, as I was unable to find any leaves or shoots of A. umbellatusuntil May 16th this year, even though I had marked the position of a number ofplants and the marks had been undisturbed by winter weather. This year, I againfound larvae in the same area on July 15th and they again fed well until the first

week of August when they coll­ected together in curled, dryleaves, presumably to hiber­nate. This year I will leavethem outdoors for the winter.On July 24th, I found anothergroup of larvae on A. umbell­atus and left them in situ(see photo), checking on themevery few days. They soon de­foliated one plant and movedto another about 1 meter away.When they had defoliated thesecond plant, in the 1st weekof August, they disappeared,presumably to hibernate incurled up leaves found on theground. I should like to hearof other member's experiencesin rearing this insect.

5. Nymphalis vau-album in Essex County.

It did not seem remarkable to see a specimen of N. vau-album in St. Clair• 'Beach near Windsor on August 9th, 1989. However, on reading the book "Environ­

mentally Significant Areas of the Essex Region" by Michael Oldham, I noted that hereported only one county record for this species and that was from Point Pelee in1976, by Alan Wormington. Oldham's report was published in 1983, so there may havebeen other records since that I am unaware of.

4.2·The Status of the Karner Blue & Frosted Elfin in Ontario in 1989 by Q.F. Hess

The Karner Blue (Lyciades melissa sBmuelis) is known to occur in two locali­ties in Ontario - near St. Williams (4) and near Port Franks (7). The Frosted Elfin(Incisalia irus) is known to occur in the same locality as the Karner Blue near St.Williams. Both are Lupine feeders. The Karner Blue is double-brooded, while theFrosted Elfin is single-brooded. Mr. A. (Dolf) Wynia, Superintendent of the St.Williams Forest Nursery (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) advises as follows(letter dated Nov. 6th, 1989):

"I have checked with Mary Gartshore and Peter Carson; they did not see any Kar­ner Blue or Frosted Elfin this year despite repeated visits during the appro­priate flight times. Apparently Alan Wormington did not see any either. Thelupine stands, in our opinion, have not deteriorated this year.

10

The Gypsy Moth caused severe defoliation in the area but no aerial spraying withBt was done within several miles of the colonies. The 1988 spraying wasmonitored intensely and no drift occurred onto the colony area.The Manestar property, which contained both the Karner Blue and Frosted Elfinbutterflies, is now owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and we expect itto be transferred to the Ministry within the year. Some habitat management isnow possible.I suspect some of our vegetation here may be receiving almost irreversible set­backs from the ever more frequent droughts and also devastating Gypsy Mothattacks - not a favourable outlook" (end of quote).

The Karner Blue situation in 1989 at the Port Franks Estates locality was discussedwith Mr. Terry Crabe, Park Visitor Supervisor /Chief Naturalist at Pinery Provin­cial Park. In October, 1989, he advised that the Karner Blue first brood "s seemedto be 50 % below recent years. The second brood seemed to be much lower than 50 %.He thinks one of the reasons for the population decline may be the frequentdroughts in recent years.Part of the Karner Blue occurrence range in the Port Franks Estates locality waslost in 1989 due to the construction of homes on both the eastern and western partsof the range area. The Karner Blue Sanctuary area established in 1988 nearby byLambton Wildlife Incorporated remains, however. Whether it is large enough to makeit possible for the Karner Blue to maintain a viable population is unknown.

The program to propagate Wild Lupine stands in Pinery Provincial Park, a fewkilometres to the north, and a former population site of the Karner Blue, is con­tinuing, according to Terry Crabe.

4.3 Conservation of the Karner Blue in Ontario by Q.F. Hess.

In Ontario, the Karner Blue butterfly is known to occur now in two localities, i.e.in lambton County near Port Franks and near St. Williams in Norfolk County. In thepast it was also reported near Grand Bend, london (Syme) and in the lambton Millsarea of Toronto. It is now absent from all but the two localities near Port Franksand St. Williams.This small blue butterfly was first recorded from the Pinery near Grand Bend onJune 25th, 1936 by the writer and specimens shown to Prof. Fred Eidt at the Univer­sity of Toronto. On July 6th, 1978, the writer found the butterfly flying in an oaksavannah habitat near Yogi Bear Drive in the Port Franks area. The complete historyof the occurrence and life history, etc., of this butterfly is given in TorontoEntomologists' Association Occasional Publications .'s 12-81, 13-82, 14-83 and15-84, as well as the reports to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources by Dr.Dale Schweitzer and Dr. laurence Packer.In November of 1987 the T.E.A. made a recommendation to the Minister of NaturalResources that the Karner Blue be placed on the Ontario Endangered Species list. Todate this has not been doneIn 1986 the lambton Wildlife Inc. through the T.E.A. became interested in theplight of the Karner Blue and other flora and fauna dependent on the oak savannahhabitat which was disappearing in the Carolinian Faunal Zone in southwesternOntario. With the help of other interested parties, lambton Wildlife succeeded inpurchasing about 35 acres of prime Karner Blue habitat in the Port Franks Estatesarea. The official opening of this Reserve took place in July of 1988. Since thenthe area has been fenced. Ben and Brenda Ku10n , Gerry Clements and the local Mini­stry of Natural Resources, especially Terry Crabe of Pinery Provo Park, deserve agreat deal of credit among others in this accomplishment.On January 19th, 1989, the Ausab1e-Bayfield Conservation Authority Chairman - Mr.Don lithgow, announced that the Authority was purchasing a nearby property of about70 acres known as the Armstrong Property. The Natural Heritage league, via theirCarolinian Canada Program was funding 100 % of the purchase price. This propertyconsists of 50 acres of sand dune complex and 20 acres of wetland. It is justsoutheast of Port Franks.

The St. Williams Karner Blue population has occurred on the Ontario Ministry ofNatural Resources Tree Nursery and Forest area and also on a contiguous area knownas the Manestar property. This property was acquired by the Nature Conservancy ofCanada in 1989. This property also seems to be the main focus of the only knownCanadian population of the Frosted Elfin. Both the Karner Blue and the FrostedElfin are Wild Lupine feeders.According to the "Ontario Field Biologist", No. 16, December 1962, page 34, in areport by Dr. Paul D. Syme (Sault Ste. Marie) the Karner Blue was collected by Mr.D.M. Wood (Ottawa) near St. Williams in the above area on July 22, 1962 (the firstreported occurrence in this locality). Specimens from this collection weredeposited in the Royal Ontario Museum.The Karner Blue and Frosted Elfin populations in Ontario are in a precarious state,as are some of the United States populations. There are various reasons for this,some of which include plant succession in the areas occupied by the populations,drought and development.Whether these two specialist species will continue to be part of Ontario's faunaremains in doubt. The 1989 reports as outlined in Section 4.2 indicate the preca­rious situation we are experiencing now.

4.4 Hy7es euphorb1ae in Ontario by Hal Don1y.

Until I collected a specimen of this insect, I had always assumed it was a purely aEuropean species, not encountered in North America. There is a record in "The Mothsof America North of Mexico" of a specimen ex. larva from Braeside, Ontario (42) in1968. I had always suspected this to be of European origin, possibly transportedwhile on a plant brought back from Europe.Alan Hanks checked all past T.E.A. Summaries and found no reports or records ofHy7es euphorb1ae in Ontario. I would be interested to know if anyone else has en­countered the species in Ontario.The specimen I collected was a male with medium ~ear. It had landed on my sheetbeside my b1ack1ight at approximately 11:45 p.m. on July 22nd at Coe Hill, Ontario(24). The only other Hy7es species I have collected in this same area was onespecimen of Hy7es ga771i.

Note: According to "The Moths of North America North of Mexico", Fascicle 21 ­SPHINGOIDEA, page 152, euphorbiae has been introduced from Europe in anattempt to control certain range euphorbs in western Canada (QFH).

4.6 Monarch Migration Note by W.M.M. Edmonds.

One tagged female Monarch was recovered on October 23, 1989, clinging to apiece of driftwood on the shore of Lake Ontario near the mouth of North SandyCreek, Jefferson County, State of New York.

It had been in my refrigerator for one week and was one of twelve released atMount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto, on October 8th, 1989. It is interesting to notethat the place where it was recovered (20 miles SW of Watertown, N.Y.) is at aboutthe same latitude as Toronto.

4.8 Status of the Inornate Ringlet (Coenonympha inornata Edwards) in Ontarioby Dr. W.J.D. Eberlie

PART 1 - Voltinism of Coenonympha inornata in Southern Ontario

Introdyction: Coenonympha inornata is found in its various sub-species and formsfrom coast to coast across Canada. Specifically from the Avalon Peninsula of New­foundland to Vancouver Island and from the shores of Hudson Bay on the Arctic coast

15

to the north shore of Lake Ontario. Apparently it also spreads aross the St. Law­rence River to northern New York State and the more northerly of the eastern UnitedStates. However, it is not yet present in extreme southwestern Ontario.

When I arrived in Ontario in 1966, I noted the abundance of these insects alongthe north shore of Lake Ontario and into the St. Lawrence Valley and did not expectthis from reading the available literature such as "A Field Guide to the Butter­flies" by Klots (Peterson Field Guides - 1951). Also, it was apparent that therewere two entirely separate broods flying in May and June and again in August andSeptember with five or six weeks in July and August when the insects were never onthe wing. Again, in the literature, it was stated that C. inornata is univo1tine inEastern North America.A more detailed search of the literature revealed the following:

Historical Background: The genus Coenonympha was reviewed by Demorest Davenport(Bull. Mus. Compo Zool. Harvard; 1941; Vol. 87; pp. 215) in 1941. He stated that"inornata is a typical inhabitant of the Sprucebe1t section of the Eastern half ofCanada, apparently reaching its southern limits in the Algonquin Park region ofOntario and the lower reaches of the Gatineau River just north of Ottawa" andflying in May-June only. This statement is practically a repetition of the words ofMcDunnough in his article in the "Canadian Entomologist" (1928; Vol. 60; No. 10;pp. 266-275).

F. Martin Brown wrote on C. tuT1ia inornata in 1955 (Bull. Amer. Mus. ofNatural History, N.Y.; Vol. 105;pp. 363). He stated on pp. 380 "The series selectedfor detailed study leaves something to be desired. Two areas that seem to becritical are not included. The north shore of the St. Lawrence River, or rather theestuary, and the western part of the Province of Ontario. I have seen onlyscattered and very short series from Ontario." Actually, the Ontario specimens hestudied were all from the Parry Sound - Algonquin Park area, except that he doesmention one southern locality, Brighton, Northumberland County (September 10) andhe actually notes "second brood" but with no further conment, and nowhere in hispaper is it mentioned that there is a second brood.

In 1958, F. Martin Brown (J. New York Ent. Soc. 1958; Vol. 64; pp. 63) des­cribed what he considered to be a new subspecies of Coenonympha nipisiquit fromGrindstone Island in the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence in New York State. In1961, he expanded this article by writing in the Canadian Entomologist (Vol. 93;pp. 107) on his new subspecies - C. nipisiquit heinemanni, claiming that C. tuTTiainornata occurs on the same islands in the St. Lawrence River in May and June, andC. nipisiquit heinemanni occurs in exactly the same localities in August andSeptember.

In "A Field Guide to the Butterflies", K10ts states that "all subspecies of C.tuTTia (in eastern North America) are single brooded", and Howe supports this alsoin "Butterflies of North America"; 1975; pp. 101. However, in the west of thecontinent, the C. tu77ia "group" is well-known to be bivoltine ("Butterflies ofOregon" by Ernst J. Dornfeld; 1980; pp. 53.

Descriptions of Life HistoryDavenport, in his 1941 review, was the first to describe the early stages of

north-eastern North American C. inornata and according to Tietz's "Index to LifeHistories of North American Macro-Lepidoptera" (Vol. 1; 1972; pp. 356), his is theonly description. In June of 1935 Davenport obtained 15 ova of C. tuTTia inornatafemales from Quebec populations. One larva only survived until fall andsuccessfully hibernated, emerging as an adult in the spring of 1936. On page 265,he states: "It can be seen that there seems to be little regularity within limitsto the time of each instar, certain individuals passing a longer time betweenmoults than others".

16

F. Martin Brown in his 1961 article gave as his main argument in favour of twobroods on Grindstone Island being separate species, that his rearing studies hadshown that August specimens do not result from eggs laid by the spring-flyingbutterfly. He had ova from both broods of the butterfly on Grindstone Island sentby airmail to him in Colorado, where he tried to rear them. He says "we have beenrepeatedly unsuccessful in carrying hibernating larvae through the winter. Colo­rado's climate in winter is so irregular that the eastern species come out ofhibernation during the first warm period in January and then are killed by a sub­sequent freeze, whereas modern refrigerators desiccate them". However, becauselarvae from June ova went into hibernation in August and larvae from August ovawent into hibernation in September he claims that the August butterflies do notresult from the spring-flying butterfly and vice versa.

In fact it seems much more likely that the Colorado climate (and possibly alsothe altitude) is just not suitable for rearing the eastern subspecies of thisinsect, and induces hibernation early and unnaturally.

He also said that the Thousand Island specimens of both broods differ materi­ally from those seen in Ontario and Quebec, but I suspect that he was consideringonly the Ontario specimens he had seen in co11lections, which according to his 1955paper were all from northern Ontario or the Parry Sound/Algonquin Park areas. Thedescription of his Grindstone Island specimens of both broods is more consistentwith our southern Ontario inornata.

He does admit that "close examination of certain variable items in the patternof the imagos strongly indicates that there is very little difference in theappearance of the two broods, 'inornata' in the spring and 'heinemanni' in the latesummer." Nevertheless, he concludes as follows: "From study of the immature stageswe are now convinced that the May-June insect and the August-September insect areeach single-brooded and do not give rise one to the other" but he concedes that thespring brood on Grindstone Island is probably actually a hybrid between nipisiquitand inornata.

In view of F. Martin Brown's lack of success in rearing inornata from Grind­stone Island, I felt that it could be worthwhile to try and rear the apparentlyidentical insect occurring in Northumberland County, Ontario, under as naturalconditions as possible and in the insect's natural climate.

Rearing of C. inornata in Northumberland County 1976-1982.Methods: Attempts at rearing the insect commenced in August, 1976 when I firstobtained ova from females collected in several Northumberland County localities.Subsequently, ova have been obtained from females randomly collected from fourseparate localities in the County within 24 km of the village of Colborne. In allthese localities, as in all others in Northumberland and neighbouring counties, thebutterfly flies in both June and August; these flight periods being designated inthis paper as the spring and late summer flights. Although in other ways they vary,all localities are grassy areas with extensive patches of Kentucky Blue Grass (Poapratensis L.) and it has been noted that females are often found in the vicinity­of the larger patches of this grass, especially where the grass grows in damperareas such as the neighbourhoods of springs and ditches where it is then greenerthan surrounding areas. Wild larvae have occasionally been found on this grass, butnot so far on other grasses.

Females were placed in cages over pots of Kentucky Blue Grass and they readilyoviposited on this, usually avoiding other grasses that were inevitably included inthe pots. Ova were actually laid on dry dead stems more often than on green bladesof grass and also frequently on netting over the top of the cages. Rearing has beencarried out always in the open in my garden under as natural conditions as possiblewith the foodp1ant either growing in pots surrounded by glass or clear plastic, orin similarly protected patches of grass growing naturally in the ground.

17

It is possible that this protection alters to some extent the micro-climate of thepabulum but the alternate protection of netting or mosquito gauze would also affectthe environment by reducing the amount of light falling on the larvae and it wasfelt that light was more important than air movement. In the winter the pots ofgrass have been placed in exposed situations without a covering of netting so thatthey became covered by a natural depth of snow. No larvae survived the first twowinters and it was then presumed that it was essential to have a good growth ofgrass with much dead matted stems at the base of the clumps as occurs naturally andin which the larvae can hibernate. Presumably much matted grass provides a warmerhibernating area and, in such a situation even when the snow melts in the springand the grass becomes or frozen solid in ice, some larvae nevertheless survive.With this method of rearing, as in nature, mortality is high; some predators suchas crab spiders, certainly gain access to the pabulum and there is clearly nobarrier to the spread of fungal, bacterial or viral disease. Discoloured and deadlarvae have been found suggesting such causes of mortality. So far (up to September1980) out of about 250 ova originally obtained, 39 adults have been successfullyreared which is probably a higher proportion than occurs naturally. Usually it hasbeen found that adults from these rearings have commenced emerging from pupae onthe same dates as they are first seen in flight in surrounding localities whichsuggests that the environment in my garden was very similar to that of the butter­fly's natural haunts.

Result: The appearance of ova, larvae and pupae has shown no variation from pre­vious descriptions of the early stages of C. inornata (Davenport, 1941) and I canconfirm the latter's statement on pp. 265 of his review, concerning the irregu­larity of the larval moults. It has also been noticeable that the larvae areirregular feeders, often resting dormant for several days and nights at a time, atthe bases of grass stems, even when not resting for ecdysis. not surprisingly, thisis more obvious for the longer lived larvae, i.e. those that result from spring ovawhich do not complete their metamorphoses the same year, but hibernate and resultin imagines in the spring of the following year. In June and July they tend to feedmostly at night in the early stages but in late July and early August when in thelast instar they feed by day and night. In April, May, September and October theyfeed on warm days only. I have not so far seen the brown forms of larvae or pupaeas described by Ernst Dornfeld in "The Butterflies of Oregon" for three of thewestern subspecies of C. inornata. I have however seen plain green pupae withoutthe usual characteristic black lines over the wing casing.

During the years 1977 through 1980, I was successful in rearing 24 adults ofthe late summer flight from ova obtained in May and June; all larvae completedtheir development by the August of those years except for several larvae from June,1978 ova which continued feeding irregularly until the end of September, 1978 whenthey were still only in the third instar and then went into hibernation. There wasan especially dry period in late July and early August that year in this area, whenlittle green grass was visible. These hibernating larvae produced four adults inthe spring of 1979.

In 1979 none of the larvae from the spring ova developed into adults in Augustbut relatively few ova had been obtained in June of that year. However, all thelarvae that did result went into hibernation in late September and a few survivedthe winter. Of these, two reached the final instar and were still feeding on May20, 1980 after which they disappeared.

Larvae resulting from late summer ova usually continue feeding on warm dayswell into October. In 1977 they were last seen feeding on October 27 and in 1978 afew were still feeding on November 5. In 1979 some larvae from late summer ova wereeven seen feeding up to November 20, it being relatively mild weather at the time.

18

At least six of these larvae successfully hibernated and five pupated in earlyJune, 1980, producing adults on July 1st and 3rd, 1980. Larvae from 1980 latesummer ova were not seen feeding after October 8, that month being colder thanusual.

In June, 1978 and June to early July, 1980, 11 adults resulted from ova ob­tained in the late summers of 1977 and 1979. Similar results were obtained duringthe years 1980 through to 1982. In June, 1983, 70 ova were obtained from Northum­berland County females and 10 adults resulted from the larvae emerging in Augustand September of the same year, four remaining larvae going into diapause in Octo­ber, 1983. In June, 1983 also, 56 ova were obtained from females collected withinthe boundaries of the City of Peterborough, 40 km north of Lake Ontario and theseproduced 12 adults in August and September of the same year, leaving nine larvae tohibernate in October.

To summarize, during the seven years 1977 to 1983 inclusive, a total of 76butterflies were reared, 51 emerging in August and September from ova obtained inJune of the same year; 15 adults emerging in June and early July from ova obtainedin August and September of the previous year, and 10 adults in June from ova laidin June of the previous year.

Conclusions: It is clear from these rearing observations that butterflies appearingin the spring are mainly the offspring of the late summer generation and the latesummer flight is mainly the offspring of the spring generation. However, it is alsocertain that some of the larvae from the spring brood do not always complete theirlife-cycle by August or September and over-winter to produce adults the nextspring. Larvae from June ova commence hibernation in late September if they do notdevelop into adults in August and larvae from late summer ova generally start thewinter diapause in mid or late October.

In dry summers it often happens that, in areas where C. inornata flies, thegrass is dry and brown in late July and early August but during the insects' flightperiods in May, June and September when the larvae are feeding most actively, thegrass in these same areas is green and lush.

There can be no doubt, therefore, that in southern Ontario the spring and latesummer broods of C. inornata are all the same species and mainly bi-voltine.

Addendym: Rearing of Northern Ontario CoenonYmoha inoenata

On June 30, 1980, three "typical", (i.e. without ocelli) C. inornata femaleswere collected in a fen adjacent to Driftwood Bog, near Cochrane, Cochrane Dist.,northern Ontario. They started ovipositing on July 4 and a total of 25 ova werelaid on that day and on July 5. Twenty four larvae resulted and went into hiber­nation at the end of September and the first week of October. At this time theywere 7 - 9 mm in length, in the third instar. Southern inornatalarvae fromSeptember ova are usually about 3 mm 1n length, in the second instar, when goinginto hibernation.

Fourteen larvae survived the winter and were first seen feeding again on March28, 1981. Twelve of these became full-grown and resulted in eleven pupae andadults, one larva dying during pupation. The adults emerged between May 30 and June9, 1981, presumably early because of the earlier spring in Northumberland County ascompared to the Cochrane District. All adults were comparable to their parents,i.e. to the inornata flying near Driftwood Bog.

4.9 First Record for the Gray Ha1rstreak (Strymon me71nus) in N. Ontarioby Alan Wormington & William Lamond

On June 9, 1989, the authors stopped along Hwy.• 11 about 2 km east of MineCentre, Rainy River District, in search of various butterflies. Here, there wereextensive stands of Jack Pine on a sandy plain. Amongst the hordes of Eastern Pine,Western Pine and Hoary Elfins feeding on the low shrubbery, we were surprised tofind a worn Gray Hairstreak (Strymon me7inus).

Amazed by the early date and the fact that we believed this to be the firstrecord for northern Ontario, we theorized how this individual arrived at the site.Since 1988 was a year of exceptional numbers of Gray Hairstreaks in southernOntario, we deduced that the species had colonized the area the previous summer andthe individual we found had emerged at the site during the present spring. We feltthis theory could easily be supported if we could find a second individual, andindeed a short time later another worn individual was found.

The fact that this site was on a sandy plain may be significant: a remarkablyearly Gray Hairstreak once found at Point Pelee on April 22 in 1988 (1), was alsoin a sandy environment.

During a literature search we could find no reference to the occurrence of aGray Hairstreak in northern Ontario. The species is not listed for northern Ontarioby Riotte (2). In southern Ontario the species has been recorded north to NipissingDistrict (3). In Manitoba (4) only four records are known for the entire province.

4.10 First Record of Harris' Checkerspot for Walpole Island, Lambton Countyby Alan Wormington

On June 26, 1989, while exploring portions of Walpole Island in Lambton County,I located two Harris' Checkerspots (Charidryas harrisii). Both individuals wererather worn males and found at the same site, an area of tall-grass prairie withinan oak savannah) toward the south end of the island. The first individual wasmissed with the net, but finding a second individual proved to be a very time-con­suming activity as multitudes of Silvery Checkerspots (Charidryas nycteis) andPearl Crescents (Phyciodes tharos) were prevalent at the time.

This is apparently the first record of Harris' Checkerspot for Walpole Island.An extensive survey of the island's butterflies in 1986 (pp. 17-20 in T.E.A. Occa­sional Publication' 18-87) does not record the species, nor is it mentioned in anyof the T.E.A. Annual Summaries since 1969.

21

Since this is a considerable range extension for Harris' Checkerspot in south­ern Ontario - with no known records closer than Waterloo and Ha1dimand/Norfo1kRegional Municipalities (1) - I immediately wondered if the specimen might repre­sent the more southerly subspecies liggetti, which occurs from Ohio throughPennsylvania. However, comparison of the specimen to some of the major works, e.g.Howe, The Butterflies of North America, 1975, shows that it is referable tonominate harrisii, the widespread Ontario subspecies. Furthermore, the specimenappears identical to material I obtained in 1988 in Peterborough County.

The spring of 1989 tended to be cold until the middle of May. A warm Easter,March 25th and 16th, brought out the hibernators in the south. The flight seasonmostly started during Easter 1989 in the south. In northern Ontario it startedabout May 16th, a beautiful day! On that date, in Sibley Provincial Park (SleepingGiant area), Mrs. Irene Trigg of Thunder Bay reports encountering about 100Celastrina argiolus, 60+ Polygonia faunus, 30+ Vanessa antiopa and 8 Nymphalisvau-j-album. The flight season in Ontario (southern areas) ceased at the end ofOctober to November 20th.

In central and northern Ontario, especially northwestern Ontario, the ForestTent Caterpillar completely or partially defoliated the deciduous trees and shrubsin many areas, especially the Rainy River District. Despite the cold to cool tem­peratures and rainfalls in June, July, September and part of October, the 1989flight season was mostly average to less than average. Some butterfly and skipperpopulation levels in Ontario in 1989 are assessed as follows:

Above normalEpargyreus clarus, Charidryas harrisii, Nymphalis vau-j-album (southern Ontario)and Basilarchia archippus

Below to much below normalThymelicus lineola; Pieris n. oleracea; Incisalia irus; Lycaeides melissa samuelis;Aglais milberti; Vanessa cardui: Vanessa virginiensis; Cercyonis pegala.

Several species of 1epidoptera had flight periods a week to ten days later thanusual. The Monarch adults moved into southern Ontario in small numbers in earlyJune. It was not until early July that their numbers came close to 1988 levels. TheMonarch migration south peaked early (about July 22-30) and tapered off graduallywith a secondary peak in early September. The last Ontario migrants were reportedon November 20th.

Bill Lamond submitted the butterfly records for the Hamilton Study Area whichconsisted of thousands of field encounters by the eleven Hamilton area co-opera­tors (indicated by an asterisk in the Introduction). Highlights of the results for1989 included the following:

a) Discovery of a good-sized population of the Dorcas Coppper (Epidemia dorcas)at Taylor Lake (13).

b) Several sightings of the Giant Swallowtail (Heraclides cresphontes, e.g.five in the Six Nations Indian Reserve near Brantford.

c) The sudden appearance of the Gray Comma (Polygonia progne) in the studyarea.

22

d) Numerous sightings of the Compton Tortoiseshell (Nympha Tis vau-j-aTbum) inthe study area.

e) Three new localities for the West Virginia White (Pieris virginiensis).

Migrations from the south into Ontario were quite weak, except in a few instances,e.g. the Buckeye into Huron Co. 1988 saw a strong periodic increase of the ComptonTortoiseshell in S. Ontario. This population increase appeared again in 1989, pro­bably as a result of successful hibernation and breeding in many localities. 1989range extensions or new occurrence records of note for Ontario are as follows:

Jeff Larson re­ported the first records for Moosonee of pterourus gTaucus canadensis and Incisaliaaugustinus. Al wormington also obtained the first known record of Charidryasharrisii on Walpole Island and Dr. Tasker obtained the first record of Charidryasnycteis on Manitoulin Island. Also of great interest are the reports of the melanicform of the female P.g. glaucus. These records are as follows:Kingsville - 1; Harrow - 1; Point Pe1ee - 3 (AW); Pelee Island - 2 (JK).Quimby Hess found tlaTTengrenia egeremet 35 km east of Cochrane in July.

For Ontario moths in 1989, records of interest include the following:

Hyles euphorbiae (1 of this introduced species in Hastings Co.)(Hal .Donly)Automeris io (in fair numbers in Lambton Co.)(Don Tyreman)Archiearis in fans (in Northumberland Co.)(W.J.D. Eberlie)Lymantria dispar & Psychomorpha epimenis (S.Hay Swamp in Huron Co.)(Q.F.Hess)Eulithia serrataria (in Muskoka Co.)(Duncan Robertson)

Note: Identified by Dr. J.D. LaFontaine - this species is not listed inCovell's Field Guide).

The Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar) increased its presence in 1989 in south­western Ontario. Infestations were severe in Norfolk County and increasing numbersare appearing in Lambton County. According to Dr. John Eberlie, it was abundant andwidespread in Northumberland County but numbers seemed to be less than in 1988. Inthe St. Williams area, the severe infestation included the oak savannah areasincluding the Karner Blue and Frosted Elfin localities. The OMNR advises (seeSection 4.2 herein) that no aerial spraying of Bt was carried out within some milesof these localities. However, the defoliation of most oak, white pine, etc., inthese areas was severe. The impact on the lepidoptera there is not yet known.
