     Jochen Möhr reports 3 Pine Whites yesterday and today from his Metchosin property.

 

     Jochen’s moths from Metchosin this morning:

 

 1 Eupithecia sp.

1 Drepanulatrix sp. 

3 Euxoa difformis (?)

1 Feltia jaculifera

8 Lacinipolia pensilis

5 Neoalcis californiaria

3 Tetracis pallulata

1 Xestia finatimis (?)

 

   Rosemary Jorna, who contributed a photograph of a Four-spotted Skimmer on September 4, today contributes a photograph of an Eight-spotted Skimmer (from Cougar Ridge yesterday), and she speculates whether her next photograph might be that of a Twelve-spotted Skimmer.  (Yes, there is such a one!)
