   Jeremy  Tatum writes:  It is easy to record the first occurrence in the year of a particular butterfly species – but it is not so easy to record the last.   There are still Tiger Swallowtails and Lorquin’s Admirals to be seen – I saw a Western Tiger Swallowtail<\/strong> and a Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong> at Swan Lake today, and another Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong> at UVic – but their numbers are beginning to dwindle, so we encourage observers to continue to record them, especially into August.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
