2019 September 23 afternoon

 

   Jeff Gaskin writes that Kirsten Mills saw a late Lorquin’s Admiral  in Peden Lane, Brentwood Bay on September 22, and that he saw a Painted Lady at Panama Flats and two Painted Ladies in Cecilia Ravine on September 21.  So – there are still a few butterflies around, so it’s worth doing a Butterfly Count.  See the September 22 Invert Alert for details.

 

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Sightings of Lorquin’s Admiral in September are rare; the latest September date that I can find was a sighting of one on September 27, 2014.
