   One would think that the lepidoptera season was just about over – but not a bit of it.  Here is a group of moth ova that Rosemary Jorna found yesterday, November 21, on Hairy Manzanita on Flower Ridge in the Sooke Hills.  It looks as though two of them have hatched recently – maybe the rest will follow soon.
