   Jeremy Tatum went hill-topping on Mount Douglas at 7:00 pm today.  He scored one each of Red Admiral and Painted Lady.   I don’t think anyone has done Highrock Park in Esquimalt yet.

   Scott Gilmore writes:  I found an interesting plant bug (Miridae) on my house earlier today. I think it is in the genus Phytocoris.
