2020 May 29 morning

 

   Jochen Möhr writes:  On May 27, Chris and I did a tour through Metchosin.  On the way in, I spotted one Anise Swallowtail and one Cabbage White along the road.   Then we went to some farms, on one, which has several acres of various Brassica, there were at least a dozen Cabbage Whites fluttering about, but nothing else.

 

Before that time, observing from my deck for about an hour, I had about 10 sightings of blues but did not get close enough to document them.  There were also two sightings of a Cabbage White and a sighting of an Anise Swallowtail and one of the other tiger swallowtails.

 

Yesterday morning, the results of observations from the deck were similar: 5 Blues, one Cabbage White, one each of Anise and tiger swallowtail.   Finally, we are now inundated with Adela septentrionella.

   And now a snakefly and a click beetle from Jochen.  Thanks to Scott Gilmore for identifying the snakefly to genus.
