Introduction: There is a small area Parkland Natural Region that is located in the

northwest corner of Alberta along the banks of the Peace River. During 2005 and 2006 I

began surveying Lepidoptera in this area. The habitat targeted was the Peace River

Parkland Subregion that consists of open grassland with aspen bluffs. The following is a

list of 503 species representing 38 different families.

Notes: Butterflies and skippers were not collected as intensely as were the moths and

therefore their species numbers were quite low. Collecting mainly focused on moths that

were sampled at night using both UV light traps and the traditional MV sheet trap. Day

collecting was conducted using hand nets. Baiting was conducted in late summer using a

fermented fruit, beer and a liquor mix. It was then painted on trees and checked at night.

by hand and with a bait trap. A few species collected during the survey were worthy of

mention as either range extensions, new records or as rare and unusual finds in Alberta.

Sixty-two species were significant discoveries for the area and are considered either rare

or uncommon provincially. Fifty-three represent disjunctive populations and one-hundred

fifteen represent significant range extensions. These species will be outlined completely

in detail once the survey is complete in 2008.

Page 10: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

Plains Skipper (Hesperia assiniboia): A rather uncommon species in the Peace Parkland

along the Peace River where it is found in grasslands containing its hosts, needle grass

(Stipa spp.), Fescue (Festuca spp.), Blue gramma (Bouteloua gracilis), June grass

(Koeleria cristata), and Brome grass (Bromus spp.) (Bird et al. 1995, Layberry et al.

1998, Hervieux 2001). A small population is also found in the Kleskun Hills west of

Grande Prairie. These two disjunctive populations are grassland specialists and are near

500 km southeast by Red Deer.

Pike's Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon pikei): Another relatively common

subspecies that is found only in the Peace Parkland. It is an inhabit of river bank ridges

and the larvae feed on tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is the host plant of larvae and

they have observed feeding on it a number of times (Sperling 1987, Bird et al. 1995,

Layberry et al. 1998, Guppy and Shepard 2001 and Hervieux 2001). Records of adults

range all along the Peace River banks from British Columbia into Alberta as far North as

Fort Vermilion. An outlying population of this subspecies was also found at the Kleskun

Hills, just west of Grande Prairie, by Dr. Felix Sperling in 1982. Adults are observed hill

topping along the river banks from late May and throughout June. This is the best place

to look for this species and I observed many doing this on the banks near Peace River in

2005 and on the banks of the Smoky River in Peace River Wildland Park in summer

2006. I also observed adults nectaring at Bastard Toadflax (Commandra umbellata) last

summer (see photo). This is species is easily confused with the Anise Swallowtail

(Papilio z. zelicaon) that I have also flying along the high ridges with this species.

Gorgone Checkerspot (Chlosyne gorgone carlota): This is the rarest butterfly found in

the Peace Parkland. Populations are localized and tend to exist only within range of there

host plant. It is found along the banks in mid May and into late June along the Peace

River but only a two locations so far. The known populations are from the south facing

slopes at Dunvegan and Green Island. Larval hosts are reported to be sunflowers

(Helianthus sp.) by Bird et al. (1995) and Layberry et al. (1998). Last summer I observed

an adult female and a couple males flying amongst a patch of Common Sunflowers

(Helianthus annuus). I even observed a female perched on its host (see photo). Males

were also observed nectaring at Spreading Dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium) not

farm from this patch of sunflowers. In spring of 2007 this species was observed mating

on the uppers slopes of the Peace River Valley near Dunvegan. Numerous other adults

were also observed patrolling the meadows as well.

Northern Checkerspot (Chlosyne palla calydon): This species in quite abundant

throughout the grassy meadows along the banks of the Peace River. It is found from

British Columbia into Alberta all the way north up to Fort Vermilion from late May into

early July. Larvae are reported to feed on Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja sp.) by Layberry

et al. (1998) or other composites such as aster and fleabane (Bird et al. 1995) but this has

not been confirmed in this region. As for adults I found them nectaring at Spreading

Dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium) on a number of occasions.

Warm-chevroned Moth (Tortricidia testacea): The only member of the moth family

Limacodidae, Slug-caterpillar Moths. It is a rare species only know from a few locations

Page 11: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

within Alberta. There are three populations of this species known from Edgerton,

Lloydminster, and Fort McMurray. In the Peace Parkland two populations are know, one

from the Peace Wildland Park and the other from Dunvegan. Adults come to lights and

are collected by both mercury vapour and ultra violet light traps in June. Larvae likely

feed on Pin Cherry (Prunus pensylvanica), Choke Cherries (P. virginiana) or perhaps

White Birch (Betula papyifera) in the Peace River region.

Himmelman's Plume Moth (Geina tenuidactyla): This is likely one of the more difficult

species to find unless you go looking specifically for them. They are probably much more

common than one thinks but because they are so localized they are rarely encountered.

There only three documented populations of this species including the Peace Wildland

Park population, the other two are from the Holmes Crossing Ecological Reserve and

Winfield. Adults are found from late June into early July and from my observations only

when Spreading Dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium) is in flower. Moths are diurnal

though they can sometimes be attracted to lights. The one patch where I found them in

Peace Wildland Park must have had at least twenty to thirty adults fluttering amongst

them. The larval host plant is unknown for this species though they may have a

relationship with Spreading Dogbane but more research is needed in this area. Adults do

feed on nectar and have been observed nectaring at composites. It is likely that adult

moths in the Peace region nectar at Spreading Dogbane though a direct observation of

this has not been made yet.

Light-ribboned Wave (Leptostales ferruminaria): This record represents a substantial

range extension for this species because it is approximately 530 kilometres north of the

nearest other Alberta population. This is also a rare species and the Peace Wildland

record is one of four documented populations in Alberta, the other three are as follows:

Big Knife Provincial Park, Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park and Jenner, Alberta.

Adults are diurnal and the specimen I collected was sitting and drinking at a wet spot on a

trail in Peace Wildland Park. Adults can be found from early May until mid June across

the province. Host plant and biological information for this species is unknown.

The Beggar Moth (Eubaphe mendica): This record represents a substantial range

extension for this species because it is 400 kilometres north of the closest Alberta

population near Edmonton. Outside of the Peace Parkland Natural Region this species is

rather common in the Central Parkland Natural Region area. In the Peace region a single

population is found at Dunvegan. It is a nocturnal species that flies in June to July and is

often attracted to light. However specimens I collected by hand resting on leaves one

morning west of the Dunvegan Bridge. It is typically a parkland species however there is

a record from Wentzel Lake in the Caribou Wildland Park, approximately 800km

northwest of the Dunvegan population. Host of this species are reported to be violets

(Viola sp.) and Maples (Acer sp.) by Forbes (1948) and Hanfield (1999). Both of these

hosts occur at Dunvegan though the Manitoba Maple (Acer negundo) are introduced

where the violets are native and are much closer to where the specimens where collected.

Striped Chocolate-tip (Clostera strigosa): This is an uncommon moth in Alberta and is

found primarily in the Parkland Natural Region and Dry Central Mixedwood Subregion.

Page 12: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

The population discovered at Dunvegan is a significant range extension; it is

approximately 430 kilometres northwest of the nearest population documented by

Redwater. Adults of this species are attracted to light and fly from late May into early

July. Larvae are reported to feed on aspen (Populus tremuloides) and willow (Salix sp.)

by Hanfield (1999).

Saltmarsh Tiger (Estigmene acrea): Another uncommon species that is found primarily

in the Parkland Natural Region and Dry Central Mixedwood Subregion. The Dunvegan

population is a substantial range extension from the nearest population by Barrhead and

is approximately 330 kilometres northwest. Adults are attracted to light and fly primarily

from May into August with a couple records in southern Alberta from April. Larvae are

generalists and feed on a wide variety of herbaceous plants.

Celia Tiger (Grammia celia): A rare species that inhabits the Parkland and Rocky

Mountain Natural Regions. It is known from 6 localities in Alberta, one that is from

Dunvegan in the Peace River Parkland Subregion. Other localities include Prospect

Mountain, Redcap Mountain and Nordegg in the Rocky Mountain Natural Region and

the Stony Plain Reserve and Edgerton in the Parkland Natural Region. This is a nocturnal

species that is attracted to lights and is found from May to July. Larval hosts are recorded

to be Plantain (Plantago) and other herbaceous plants (Schmidt 2000).

Broken-line Hypenodes (Hypenodes fractilinea): An uncommon species that is rarely

collected in Alberta. Its scarcity is likely related to how small it is and is often ignored or

missed by collectors. The species is a Parkland Natural Region inhabitant and at the

Peace River Wildland Park it is 380 kilometres north of the nearest documented

population at Edmonton. The two specimens found at Peace River Wildland Park

represent the ninth documented record of this species. The others are from the Upper

Foothills Subregion (Nordegg) or from the Central Parkland Subregion (Edmonton, Red

Deer, Winfield, Medicine Lake Provincial Recreation Area, Dry Island Buffalo Jump

Provincial Park, Big Knife Provincial Park and Rochon Sands Provincial Park). This tiny

moth with a 1.4 cm wingspan is attracted to lights and is encountered from early June to

early August. Larval biology is unknown.

Charming Underwing (Catocala blandula): This species is uncommon in the Parkland

Natural Region and the record from Peace River is a significant range extension. It is 270

kilometres from the nearest Alberta population at the Holmes Crossing Ecological

Reserve. It is a nocturnal species that is attracted to light and bait. The lone Peace River

specimen was collected off bait on the slopes just east of town. In Alberta they found

from late July until early September. Larvae are recorded to feed on Hawthorn

(Crataegus) by Sargent (1976) and on Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia) by Hanfield

(1999). In the Peace River Parkland Subregion it likely feeds on Saskatoon though Black

Hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii) is also present in some areas.

Olive-shaded Bird-dropping Moth (Tarachidia tortricina): An uncommon species

found in the Central Parkland Subregion and Grassland Natural Region of Alberta. There

are several populations of this species in Alberta but what makes the Peace Wildland

Page 13: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

Park and Dunvegan populations notable is that they are around 400 kilometres away from

the nearest other population near Edmonton. This makes the two localities in the Peace

River Parkland Subregion substantial range extensions. This species is nocturnal and

attracted to lights and flies from May to August. Larvae are recorded to feed on

sunflowers (Helianthus sp.) though only the Dunvegan site has them.

Cottonwood Dagger Moth (Acronicta lepusculina): An uncommon species that is an

inhabitant of the Parkland Natural Region. The record from the Peace River Wildland

Park is 360 kilometres north of the nearest documented population at Red Water. The two

specimens collected also represent the ninth documented population for Alberta with all

others being from the Central Parkland Subregion or the Foothills Natural Region near

Nordegg. It is a nocturnal species that is attracted to light and it flies from late May into

July. Larvae are solitary and feed on poplars, willows and birch (Hanfield 1999). In the

Peace Parkland Subregion they likely feed on aspen (Populus tremuloides).

Quadrate Dagger Moth (Acronicta quadrata): A rare species that inhabits the Parkland

Natural Region and the Dry Mixedwood Subregion. There are a total of 6 documented

records for Alberta including the two from the Peace River Parkland Subregion. One

specimen was collected at Dunvegan and the other two in the Peace River Wildland Park.

In other areas of Alberta populations are found at Redwater, Calgary, Dry Island Buffalo

Jump Provincial Park, Tolman Bridge and Waterton Lakes National Park. They are a

nocturnal species that is attracted to light and they fly from mid June into July. Larvae are

recorded to feed on Pin cherry (Prunus pennsylvanica), Chokecherry (P. virginiana),

Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia), Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) and willow

(Salix sp.) all which are common in the Peace River Parkland Subregion.

Mountain Quaker (Apamea longula): This uncommon species that is found in both the

Grassland and Parkland Natural Regions. There are seven recorded populations of this

species with being from the Peace River Parkland Subregion. Two specimens were

collected, one form Dunvegan and the other from Peace River Wildland Park. The other

five locations are from southern Alberta and are as follows: Tolman Bridge Recreation

Area, Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Bindloss, and

Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park. The nearest population is at Dry Island Buffalo Jump

Provincial Park and is 550 kilometres away. This makes the Peace River Parkland

Subregion populations substantial range extensions. The adults are nocturnal and fly from

mid July into early September July and are attracted to light. There is no information on

larval biology.

(Lithophane diposita): A rare spring moth known from only one other location. The five

other specimens were collected by Kenneth Bowman back in the 1926, 1937, 1938s and

1940 and 1944 in the Edmonton area and have not been found since then. The species

had not been observed in Alberta for 63 years. In spring of 2007 I was lucky to find

another and knocked it off the wall of the Dunvegan Rest Area using a snowball. This is

the second known locality for this species and represents a significant range extension for

this species. This species is thought to feed on willow according to an observation by

Thaxter in 1877.

Page 14: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

Major Beauty (Oncocnemis major): This rare species is only known from two localities

in Alberta. It was formerly only known from Waterton Lakes National Park but last

summer a specimen was found at Dunvegan. The adults are nocturnal and fly in July and

are attracted to light. It prefers exposed clay habitats with limited vegetation. The single

specimen found at Dunvegan was collected in a UV trap situated on the south facing

steep clay banks. There is no information on larval biology.

(Anarta montanica): An uncommon species that is a Grassland Natural Region specialist.

There are seven localities recorded from Alberta including the two from the Peace River

Parkland Subregion. There is one record from the Kleskun Hills and another from

Dunvegan. Elsewhere in Alberta this species is known from Onefour, Writing-On-Stone

Provincial Park, Sandy Point Recreation Area, Arrowwood, and Dry Island Buffalo Jump

Provincial Park. The Kleskun Hills population is approximately 530 kilometres north of

the nearest population at Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park making this locality a

substantial range extension. This species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from

early May into June. Larval biology is unknown though I suspect it is a badlands

specialist based on where all other records were taken. Both Dunvegan and the Kleskun

Hills have extensive eroded clay knolls areas where this species was collected.

(Anarta fervida): Another rare species that is found primarily in the Grassland Natural

Region. There are four known localities for this species, one that is at Dunvegan. The

following other three populations are in southern Alberta: Lost River Valley, Dinosaur

Provincial Park and Hanna. The Dunvegan record is approximately 650 kilometres north

of the nearest population at Hanna making this locality a substantial range extension. This

species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from May into August. Larval

biology is unknown though I suspect it is a grassland specialist since all four localities

come from these types of habitat.

*(Above photo is courteously of Gary Anweiler of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild)

Tacoma Cutworm Moth (Trichordestra tacoma): This uncommon species is found

throughout the Parkland and Foothills Natural Regions and along the southern edge of the

Dry Mixedwood Subregion. There are 9 known localities for this species including the

population from Dunvegan and Peace River Wildland Park. The other localities range

from Waterton National Park along the foothills and up to the Holmes Crossing

Ecological Reserve and Edmonton areas. It is a nocturnal species that comes to light and

is found from May into July. Larvae are generalists and feed on a varieties of plants.

They are recorded to feed on Willows (Salix sp.), Fireweed (Epilobium sp.), Cherries

(Prunus sp.), Elders (Sambucus sp.), Velvet Leaf Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtilloides),

Meadowsweet (Spiraea latifolia), White birch (Betula papyrifera), and Speading Dogbane

(Apocynum androsaemifolium) by Handfield (1999) and McCabe (1980). In our region I

suspect it likely feeds on Fireweed, cherry, and Spreading Dogbane.

(Trichordestra dodii): A common species found in the Central Parkland and Dry

Mixedwood Subregions of Alberta. There are several populations of this species in

Page 15: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

Alberta but what makes the Peace Wildland Park and Dunvegan populations notable is

that they are 360 to 400 kilometres away from the nearest other population near Opal.

This makes these to localities in the Peace River Parkland Subregion substantial range

extensions. This species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from mid May to

mid July. Larval biology is unknown.

(Euxoa taura): A rare moth and a significant discovery in the Peace River Parkland

Subregion. There are three recorded populations of this species in Alberta including the

one found at Dunvegan. The other two populations are from Milk River and Onefour in

the Grassland Natural Region, nearly 900 kilometres from the Dunvegan population. This

makes these to localities in the Peace River Parkland Subregion substantial range

extensions. This species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from mid May to

mid July. The seven specimens collected were collected with UV traps and not at MV

Sheet traps. It is likely that this species is only attracted to the spectrum emitted by UV

lights. This moth prefers dry open areas such as what is found on the southern badlands

slopes at Dunvegan and the Peace River Wildland Park. The larval biology of this species

is unknown.

(Protogygia querula): A rare species found known primarily from the Grassland Natural

Area of southern Alberta. Until recently is was only known from five localities, those

being, Lost River Valley, Sandy Point Campground, 25km W of Burstall at South

Saskatchewan River, Onefour and Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park. In the last

couple of years it was found at Dunvegan and at Peace River Wildland Park. These two

populations are nearly 600 kilometres from the nearest colony at Dry Island Buffalo

Jump Provincial Park making these two populations significant range extensions. This

species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from mid May into July. The species

is an inhabitant of badlands habitats that is present at both Peace River Parkland

Subregion localities. The larval biology of this species is unknown.

(Tesagrotis atrifrons): Is the rare moth and a new record for Alberta from the Peace River

Parkland Subregion. There are currently two records for this species in Alberta. The first

one is from Waterton Lakes National Park and a lone specimen was collected at the

Peace River Wildland Park. This species was known primarily from British Columbia

until it was recently collected in Alberta. This population is 820 kilometres away from

the nearest other population near Waterton Lakes National Park. This makes the locality

in the Peace River Parkland Subregion a substantial range extension. This species is

nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies from mid July into August. This moth prefers

dry open areas (Miller and Hammond 2000) such as what is Peace River Wildland Park.

The larval biology of this species is unknown.

Stirrup Moth (Chersotis juncta): A uncommon species found in the Central Parkland

Subregion and Grassland Natural Region of Alberta. There are several populations of this

species in Alberta but what makes the Peace Wildland Park and Dunvegan populations

notable is that they are around 400 kilometres away from the nearest other population

near Edmonton. This makes the two localities in the Peace River Parkland Subregion

Page 16: Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland …...Lepidoptera Survey of the Peace River Parkland Subregion in Northwestern Alberta (Research and Collection Permit No. RC05WC002)

substantial range extensions. This species is nocturnal and attracted to lights and flies

from June to August. Larval biology is unknown
