 <\/strong>    <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:  Here is yet another pug.  The moth is pristine fresh, just out of its pupa yesterday, reared from a caterpillar (shown below) found last year in a flower of Rosa nutkana<\/em>.  One hopes, since the imago is pristine and totally unworn, that it would be easy to identify  – but it looks like so many other undistinguished pugs.  It is the same species as the one shown on March 14.   Rosa<\/em> is listed as a foodplant for only one Eupithecia <\/em>species in Klaus Bolte’s  memoir on Canadian pugs, namely  E. maestosa<\/em>, and this moth is indeed quite a good fit to that species.  But I cannot claim a certain identification.<\/p>\n

  Ann Tiplady sends a photograph of a tiny bee in a Dandelion flower in Oak Bay, March 25.  Jeremy Tatum writes that it may be too small to identify with certainty, but if anyone were to suggest Ceratina <\/em>sp. he wouldn’t argue.<\/p>\n
