Cedar Hairstreak Incisalia rosneri <\/em>(Lep.: Lycaenidae) Barb and Mike McGrenere<\/p>\n

[Note: This butterfly may be found in the literature under many different names – English, genus and species.  It impractical to keep up with an ever-changing and extensive synonymy on this site.  For consistency we stick with one name throughout the site.]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Syritta pipiens <\/em>(Dip.: Syrphidae)  Jochen Möhr<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   Moths are not entirely absent, however, and John and Christine McClarnon found this large – if somewhat less than pristine –  giant silk moth in the Hazlitt Creek area.<\/p>\n
