     Marie O’Shaughnessy writes on July 10:  Mt.Tolmie is a haven at this time for  Lorquin’s Admiral ( 8 ) and Western Tiger Swallowtail (4 ).   No Pale Tiger Swallowtail during my visit.  During my one hour visit this afternoon, between  4 and 5 pm, I saw  one Essex Skipper, a nice fresh Red Admiral and a worn one.  Also one Anise Swallowtail, but no Painted Lady for me yet.
