   Jochen Möhr’s moths from Metchosin this morning:

 

1 Callizzia amorata 

1 Drepana arcuata 

1 Enypia packardata

1 Eudonia commortalis

2 Iridopsis emasculatum 

1 Leucania dia

1 Lophocampa maculata

1 Nadata gibbosa (still the same, still alive!)

1 Perizoma curvilinea

10 Tyria jacobaeae

1 Venusia obsoleta/pearsalli 

 

The first photo may be Eudonia commortalis, but others in the crambid subfamily Scopariinae look very similar, so it is hard to be certain.

   Gordon Hart, writing from Highlands, writes:  Today, Saturday June 14, I saw a Pale and a Western Tiger Swallowtail, one Western Spring Azure, and one Cedar Hairstreak.

 

Rosemary Jorna saw a Pale Tiger Swallowtail in her Kemp Lake area garden, and a Pale Tiger Swallowtail and a Western Spring Azure on Mount Quimper.   She also photographed this Zebra Jumping Spider:
