You were warned!!   Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

   The wasp was lucky – it got away.  In an encounter between a crab spider and a vespid wasp,  the wasp is in great danger.  On the other hand, had it been a pompilid wasp, it is the spider that would be in danger.<\/p>\n

   Val George writes:  This Plume Moth <\/strong>Emmelina monodactyla<\/em><\/strong> was on the window near the door of the nature house at Swan Lake yesterday, August 26.  Also on the walls near the door were 2 Neoalcis<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>californiaria<\/em><\/strong> and a Noctua pronuba<\/em><\/strong>.  Many dragonflies were flying around the edges of the lake:  many Blue Dashers<\/strong>, many Darners<\/strong> (Blue-eyed, Green and other Darner species my inexpert eyes can’t identify when they’re flying) and at least 7 or 8 Black Saddlebags<\/strong>.  This last red-listed species seems to be quite numerous this year because I saw 3 or 4 at McIntyre Reservoir on Martindale Flats a few days ago and I recall that there have been several photos shown on the Alert recently.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Yes, I, too, have seen several Black Saddlebags this year.  Agree they are unusually common this year.  Anyone else noticed this? <\/p>\n
