\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 Swallowtails may be scarce this year, but we know that there will be at least one next year, because I found this young caterpillar along Munn Road yesterday. Usually they are on alder, but this one is on Ocean Spray.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We thank Lincoln Best for his many identifications of bees over the years.\u00a0\u00a0 Although we have temporarily lost his services during the corona virus outbreak, we hope, in better times, to lure him back again.\u00a0 In the meantime we thank our Annie Pang for working hard to identify bees for us. \u00a0 Annie writes: All of these identifications are “maybes” because I have no one to confirm them or correct them. If you get another opinion I would appreciate knowing what it is. [Jeremy\u00a0 Tatum adds:\u00a0 This is always true of all Invert Alert postings – if you think we may have got one wrong, please do let us know –\u00a0 jtatum at uvic dot ca]. \u00a0 Rosemary Jorna recently sent us a bunch of bee photographs from the Kemp Lake area:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Rosemary also photographed two spiders.\u00a0 As with other groups, the corona virus is keeping experts away from their offices, laboratories and libraries, so we have to temporarily limit identification to Family level:<\/p>\n
