Message from Gordon Hart:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Hello, Butterfly Counters,<\/p>\n

Our July count period starts Saturday, July 17, and continues to Sunday July 25.\u00a0This is an informal census of butterfly numbers and species in Greater Victoria. The area is defined by the Christmas Bird Count circle, extending from Victoria to Brentwood Bay and Island View Road in Central Saanich, and west to Happy Valley and Triangle Mountain, and Langford Lake and Goldstream areas.<\/p>\n

You can submit a count any time over the count period, just use a separate form for each count and location. In the case of repeat or duplicate counts, I will use the higher numbers. To submit counts, please use the form from the VNHS website at https:\/\/www.vicnhs.bc.ca\/?p=33<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have difficulty with the form, just send me an email with the information.<\/p>\n

hartgordon19<\/a><\/span> at gmail dot com<\/p>\n

Thank-you for submitting your sightings and good luck with your count.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Jorna photographed this micro moth near Kemp Lake on July 15.\u00a0 In spite of the excellent quality of the photograph, we can\u2019t be certain of its exact identity \u2013 there are several similar and difficult species.\u00a0 Libby Avis identifies it as being in the Subfamily Scopariinae<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
