vancouver and san juan islands ; british columbia to califor - nia in cascade mountains and coast ranges .
improper management of nationall forests in west . fire suppression probably a negative factor in absence of controlled burns .
( 20 , 000 - 2 , 500 , 000 square km ( about 8000 - 1 , 000 , 000 square miles ) ) vancouver and san juan islands ; british columbia to califor - nia in cascade mountains and coast ranges .
relatively mature open conifer forest with grassy areas . larval hosts are in family poaceae .
in very many cases ( most southward ) the occurrence boundaries will be obvious and will coincide rather well with natural community or obvious habitat features , such as bogs , alvars , jack pine woodland , a particular type of prairie , or an alpine habitat . even within extensive tundra many prefer definite habitats such as wet or dry areas , ridge , scree etc . which will aid in mapping .
with small habitats ( up to 400 hectares ) simply map the entire habitat as an occurrence . however larger apparent habitats are more problematic . while extensive tundra habitats will probably be well occupied and the occurrence may well extend several to tens of kilometers for some species . however in practice there may be difficulty in assessing just what is really suitable habitat . therefore it is suggested that when observations are limited , occurrence not be inferred to be more than all apparently suitable habitat within a kilometer even though this may seem excessively conservative in some situations .
use the generic guidelines for the application of occurrence ranks ( 2008 ) . the key for ranking species occurrences using the generic approach provides a step - wise process for implementing this method .

diagnosis : the upperside is bright brownish tan , with darker brown wing borders . there are one to three black eye - spots with white pupils on the forewing and usually one on the hindwing , all repeated on the underside . the male has a large dark sex mark near the forewing costa . beneath , the hindwing is finely striated in brown and grey , with an indistinct , irregular dark medial band . the hindwing margin has a series of white patches that gives the border a scalloped appearance . wingspan : 50 to 60 mm .
there are three subspecies , two of which occur in canada . the nominate subspecies (
, which is larger and has a darker hindwing underside , occurs on vancouver island .
ranges from california into southwestern british columbia , as far north as the lillooet area .
) males lack the dark sex patch on the upperside ; they tend to have a more distinct hindwing medial band , but this is variable . females of the great arctic and macoun ' s arctic can be difficult to identify in central british columbia , where the ranges of the two species approach each other , and are the source of many misidentifications in this area . females of macoun ' s arctic tend to have a more prominent , darker medial band on the hindwing underside than those of the great arctic and the pale striations on the outer third of the wing are less prominent and grey rather than white . the
) is smaller and has distinct striations and white - lined veins on the hindwing underside .
early stages : the larva has a black dorsal line and whitish , tan , brown , and black lateral lines ; the head has six dark stripes . food plants are unknown , but the larvae eat grasses in captivity ( scott , 1986 ) .
flight season : the great arctic flies from late may to mid - july ; it is found almost exclusively in even - numbered years .
habits : it is most commonly seen around forest edges and clearings , and on rocky hills . it has a rapid , jerky flight and seems to disappear when it lands on tree trunks ( dornfeld , 1980 ) . on vancouver island males tend to congregate on hilltops .

scientists aim to describe a single ' tree of life ' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things . however , evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery , and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named . eol reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific ' classifications ' . some species have been named more than once . such duplicates are listed under synonyms . eol also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages .
