 <\/strong><\/p>\n

  <\/strong>The mites on yesterday’s Sexton beetle have now been identified.  See the entry for June 6 to see comments by Dr Heather Proctor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Rosemary Jorna sends pictures of a Red Admiral <\/strong> and a Crusted Root Weevil <\/strong>(identified by Scott Gilmore) from the Kemp Lake area, and a damselfy from Broom Hill.  It is difficult to distinguish between the Northern and Boreal Bluets from photographs.  Rosemary reports seeing the first Lorquin’s Admiral <\/strong>of the year on Broom Hill.  All observations June 6.<\/p>\n
