Jeff Gaskin reports a rather dull looking Woodland Skipper in the Gorge Park community garden today, and Jeremy Tatum noted a Cabbage White at the foot of Bowker Avenue, Oak Bay. Woodland Skippers are becoming rather scarce now, though Cabbage Whites may continue for a while longer.

Jochen Möhr noted a Tolype distincta at his house in Metchosin this morning.
