   Peter Boon writes:  A couple of sightings from the Nanaimo area. At Piper’s Lagoon there have been up to 8 Western Spring Azures and 3-4 Propertius Duskywings over the past week, and tonight I saw my first Pale Tiger Swallowtail at the Kaye Road drainage lagoons in Parksville along with around 6 Western Spring Azures and one Western Brown Elfin.
