Nymphalis antiopa ssp. lintnerii and Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)
3 May 2012 was a significant day. The first influx of Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) (Question Mark) had already occurred in mid-April. But on 2 May, there was another very large wave of immigration that reached the land area of southwestern Ontario, particularly at Point Pelee. Also involved were Camberwell Beauties (Nymphalis antiopa) Nymphalis antiopa ssp. lintnerii and huge numbers of very large, very dark Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis). Apparently the butterflies reached High Parc in Toronto on their second day in Canada. The High Parc is about 1.6 * 1 km in size and is surrounded by the city. However, it is close enough to Lake Ontario that unaccustomed immigrants often arrive. For Toronto residents, this is the best place for butterfly watching.
