   We apologize to viewers and contributors for a gap in items for a couple of days.  This was a result of a computer glitch.  We thank Adam Taylor for solving the problem, and we are now back in business.   I have posted September 7.  We have nothing for September 8, and just the one photograph below, by Bryan Gates, of a spectacular Acronicta dactylina caterpillar on an alder at his Black Creek home.
