    Colias <\/em>alert!   <\/strong>Mark Wynja writes:  On August 20, 2021 I went looking for two Short-tailed Shearwaters reported sitting on the water at the foot of Bowser Road, Bowser. When I arrived there at the beach my attention was drawn to a yellow butterfly fluttering just above the high watermark, I grabbed my camera and carefully edged closer, it would only touch down for a second or two before flying again. Eventually I managed a single burst of photos that show a female Clouded Sulphur<\/strong> perched and flying up out of the frame.<\/p>\n

  Jochen Möhr writes from Metchosin, August 21:  I was able to spot two Woodland Skippers<\/strong> on the dandelions and one Eupithecia<\/em> sp.<\/strong> at the black light – not to mention two tiny, tiny micros.  No Pine Whites despite watching for them off and on for hours.  Here is a crab spider<\/strong>.  Does this critter really have eight eyes???   Jeremy Tatum replies:  I believe most (not all) species of spider have eight eyes.  I can’t imagine what the universe looks like with eight eyes!<\/p>\n
