   Jeremy Tatum writes that he and Bill Savale saw a Mourning Cloak along the Panhandle Trail off Munn Road yesterday (May 23).

 

   Jeremy Shows a Polyphemus Moth, which ecloded yesterday.  It came from a caterpillar found on Black Hawthorn last year in Uplands Park, where the moth was released.  Viewers might note that at present in parts of Uplands Park there are very large numbers of culicids.
