In Fairbanks, Alaska, during the period 1966 through 1994, the
earliest spring sighting of a butterfly has always occurred between
5 April and 25 April--and has usually been _Nymphalis_ _antiopa_, but
sometimes _Polygonia_ _faunus_. A micro (_Martyrhilda_ _ciniflonella_)
has been seen flying in March.
