2019 August 20 afternoon

   Jeff Gaskin writes:  Today,  August 20, I found a very bright, new West Coast Lady along Atkins Road, about 800 metres from where Atkins Road meets Goldstream Avenue.  Also there were two Painted Ladies. A Lorquin’s Admiral was at the Mill Hill parking lot and another Lorquin’s Admiral was along the Galloping Goose trail near Atkins Avenue.

  At his home in Metchosin, Jochen Möhr photographed three specimens of an interesting pterophorid.  Identifying it is going to be a bit of a challenge.  So far, Libby and Jeremy both agree:  It looks like Emmelina mondactyla, but probably isn’t!   Also seen there by Jochen was the noctuid moth Autographa corusca.
