   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I saw a Western Spring Azure at Millstream Road on June 22.  I report this only in case it happens to be the last sighting of the season.  It is always easier to record the first sighting of something than the last sighting.  Viewers are encouraged, therefore, to report any late, lingering species at the end of their season.

   Jane Cameron sends a picture of a White-faced (or Bald-faced) Hornet Dolicovespula maculata from  the road (Livingstone Avenue North) south of Mount Douglas Park around 6:30pm Sunday June 23.
