   <\/em><\/strong>Libby Avis writes:  The Agrotis<\/em> is interesting. Could be obliqua<\/em> or the dark form of vancouverensis<\/em>. I’m inclined to think the latter, because it’s more colourful overall than obliqua and markings look closer, but they’re both variable – sigh! A.o.<\/em> is supposed to be more of a higher elevation species, but there have been reports from the island.<\/p>\n
