No invertebrates reported today.

However:  If anyone comes across a dead specimen of the moth that we have been calling Erannis vancouverensis, please would you save it for me?  It need not be in pristine condition.  It may be getting a little late in the season, for I haven’t seen one for a while.  I’d prefer that you didn’t kill one – just if you find a dead one.  Viewers of this site will know that I believe it is in fact Erannis defoliaria, and I’d like to try and settle the question.

Thank you.     Jeremy Tatum
