   Kalene Lillico photographed this Satyr Comma butterfly at Swan Lake Nature House yesterday.  We leave it to viewers to decide if it is the same individual as – or a different one from –  the one that Kirsten Mills photographed there on the same date.

   Jochen Möhr has been seeing a large variety of moths – macros and micros – at his house in Metchosin in the last few days.  Here is a selection of a few of them.  As often, we are grateful to Libby Avis for her help with identifications.
