   <\/strong>Jody Wells sends pictures of a bee fly <\/strong> from Mount Tolmie, April 30, a Western Spring Azure<\/strong> from Saanichton (Cordova) Spit, May 12, and a hymenopteran, also from Saanichton Spit May 12.  The first two are relatively easy.  The hymenopteran is more of a challenge.  My suggestions (writes Jeremy Tatum), in order of preference, would be Pompilidae,  Sphecidae, or neither of the above! <\/p>\n
