   Gordon Hart photographed a caddisfly in the Highlands area on September 9, identified by Libby Avis as Lenarchus (probably rho).

  Val George writes:  Phantom Hemlock Loopers Nepytia phantasmaria seem to be everywhere this year.  I was in Campbell River yesterday morning, September 10, to see the Snowy Plover on the beach just south of the town and was quite surprised to see at least half a dozen of these moths flying around over the seaweed-covered rocks.  The attached photo is of one that was settled on a patch of sand.
