Characterized by yellow wings and black tiger stripes it is difficult not to take notice of this flashy butterfly. The specimen captured in the photo is a paler phase.
Habitat is mixed conifer/deciduous forest and open land including urban settings. It feeds-upon alder, willow and poplar and favors wetter habitat. In Wisconsin it reproduces two generations.
