PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND BUTTERFLIES
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND BUTTERFLIES
Papilio canadensis (male) by
Bill Oehlke.

This site, which features life history
pictorials of most of the larger butterflies of P.E.I., Canada, is dedicated to my mother, Rita
Eileen Oehlke of Pottersville, New Jersey. At the age of 74, Mom still rescues late instar
monarch larvae from "would-be predators" on backyard milkweed plants. She feeds the larvae
indoors in 1000mm jars and then releases the adults when they emerge.

You can access images and information by clicking on the hypertext (blue coloured) names below.
Since there are many images embodied in the information packets, it may take a bit of time for
the files to load, but text with information about distribution, host plants, flight times,
etc., should load up very quickly.

Here are some additonal northeastern North American butterflies of interest.
To my knowledge, these species do not fly on Prince Edward Island, but I have reared
most of them as a boy growing up in rural New Jersey.
