Just a gentle reminder: It is helpful, when reporting an invertebrate, to give the species, where it was seen, and the date. (Not “yesterday”, or “this evening” – but the date!) If you don’t know the species, send a photograph, if you can, and we’ll do our best. But an unidentified species without a photograph is a bit hard to post! And please also remember that, when sending a photograph, it is a HUGE, HUGE help if you would send the photograph as an attachment rather than in the body of the message! Thanks to all.

The highlight was a Two-banded Grizzled Skipper (also called “checkered” skipper – though on this site we are using the word “grizzled” for all Pyrgus skippers and “chequered” for Carterocephalus skippers, rather than mixing them haphazardly. Jeremy]. The skipper was on the power line trail opposite from where the Yellow-breasted Chat was a few years ago down in a deep ravine area.
