   Jochen Möhr sends a photograph of a highflyer moth (Hydriomena sp.) from Metchosin this morning.  Although it looks more than a little like H. furcata, the July Highflyer, this is not July, and it is much more likely to be the Oak Winter Highflyer H.nubilofasciata.   Jeremy Tatum writes: I don’t think any of them fly particularly high.
