   <\/strong>Re the possible loss of the Field Crescent<\/strong>,  Kirsten writes: The field behind Eddy’s storage still looks ok for Field Crescents. The lot next to it is under construction but I still see daisies where Eddy’s is. The only problem is, because of the virus, the First Nations there aren’t allowing visitors. My dad lives 2 blocks away. I will keep an eye out.<\/p>\n

   Let’s hope Kirsten is right.  In connection with possible losses of butterflies, moths and other invertebrates,  Jochen M\u00f6hr points out that, on this site, we sometimes spend a lot of time and effort in the niceties of taxonomy and identification, and maybe at least some of that effort might be better spent in fighting to preserve and protect the invertebrates that we still have.  One cannot but agree with that – but what can one do?  This site would welcome comments and suggestions.<\/p>\n
