   Jochen Möhr sends photographs of two moths from Metchosin.  One is Drepanulatrix sp. – I think D. monicaria.  The other is Epirrita autumnalis.

   Kirsten Mills writes that she saw a Cabbage White yesterday, November 2,  at Eddy’s Storage on Stelly’s Cross Road.   This is surely going to be a good candidate for last butterfly of the year!  I’ll have to look it up when I get a moment, but I believe that November 2 last year was also the date of the last butterfly – a Cabbage White.   I’ll post a confirmation when I have had a chance to search last year’s records.   Jeremy Tatum
