2021 April 19 morning

 

   Jeremy Tatum sends a photograph of a striking moth from his Saanich apartment building this morning.  He writes:  I didn’t recognize it as being a colour variety of the same species  – Sabulodes aegrotata – as Jochen’s moth shown on April 16.  Thanks to Libby Avis for setting me straight!
