2020 September 6 morning

 

   There are still Pine Whites to be seen in Metchosin and in the Kemp Lake area.  Yesterday  Jochen Möhr counted at least six from his Metchosin property  (that is, six seen simultaneously – though there could have been many more) and a further six elsewhere in Metchosin, while Rosemary Jorna photographed one in the Kemp Lake area:
