Description: Jens Roland and colleagues marked (notice the QME on the wing) and recaptured many Rocky Mountain Parnassian butterflies to understand metapopulation dynamics for this species. Because this species is tied to meadows and open forest where its larval host plants grow, P. smintheus lives in scattered subpopulations connected by dispersal.
