    Jeremy Tatum sends photographs of Hyphantria cunea from the Martindale Valley, and Noctua pronuba from Grant Street, Victoria.  Hyphantria cunea is the adult form of the “Fall Webworm”.  Noctua pronuba is the abundant and ubiquitous introduced European Large Yellow Underwing.

   Jeremy Tatum reports that there were a Painted Lady and a Red Admiral on the Mount Tolmie reservoir at 6:00 p.m. this evening.  Both were rather worn, yet I believe the Red Admiral was not the same individual that has been reported there on and off since May 8
