FEATURE PHOTOGRAPH
Life across the border: A colony of Lycaena (=Epidemia) dorcas claytoni Brower was discovered by the author in 1989 near Woodstock, Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. Subspecies claytoni, which has a very restricted distribution and may be endangered (Opler, P. A. & G. O. Krizek, 1984, Butterflies East of the Great Plains, Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 294 pp.), was known previously only from central Maine. The new locality is across the Canadian border, about 95 km NNE of the type locality, Springfield, Maine. A: adult resting on leaves of Pentaphylloides floribunda (Pursh) A. Love (=Potentilla fruticosa). B: male nectaring at flowers of P. floribunda, which is also the larval food plant. Photographs taken 22 July 1990 near Woodstock, New Brunswick, with a Nikon FE2 camera with a 200 mm micro-Nikkor lens and extension tubes (Kodachrome 200, Nikon SB15 electronic flash, fl6, TTL exposure, speed not recorded).
