    Jochen Möhr sends a photograph of another pug from his kitchen window in Metchosin.   It looks like probably a different individual from the one shown yesterday, although, like yesterday’s, it might be Eupithecia annulata  – or it might not!  Difficult to be sure with these small Eupithecias, of which there are many similar species.

   Jeremy Tatum sends a photograph of an Orthosia praeses from UVic woods this morning.
