Jeff Gaskin writes that there was a Painted Lady near the Jeffery Pine on Mount Tolmie yesterday afternoon, October 12.

A spider, a harvestman and a snail from near the 9 km marker on the Galloping Goose trail, photographed by Ian Cooper. The spider is a nice artistic picture, but we shan’t attempt to identify it!
