Index of Subjects Hi, Larry- It sure looks like a Compton Tortoiseshell to me, and that would be far more likely. The photo in Kaufman is awfully dark, but he does say that the white spot on the leading edge of the HW is diagnostic. Check out the photo on the NS Butterflies web site: https://novascotiabutterflies.ca/ss.cgi?s=coto --- Peter Payzant On 2018-04-21 8:47 PM, Larry Bogan wrote: > Today, while walking a forest road north of Kingston, N.S. I encountered my first butterfly of the season. At first I missed it and then when I came back to the same spot, it was there and I was able to get some images of it open wings. At first glance it looked like a Painted Lady but on close examination of the images, it was not in the N.A. Butterfly book by Kaufmann... except it looked like the Small Tortoiseshell. A search of the internet gave me a picture most like it and it was a Large Tortoiseshell. > Is this unusual or have others seen this butterfly here? > > I have put the pictures up on e-butterfly.org. > > Regards, > Larry >
