   Jochen Moehr sends a photograph of a EuropeanWinter Moth from Metchosin.  Right now is the time for someone to go out to the Nature House at Goldstream Park with a camera, and photograph a winter moth there – it will probably be the native Bruce’s Winter Moth.  There may even be some other species there.
