2022 July 5 evening<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>   <\/strong>Aziza Cooper sends photographs of a damselfly from Panama Flats, July1;  and an Essex Skipper<\/strong> and a fly from Swan Lake, July 4.  Jeremy Tatum also notes that several  Essex Skippers are now (July 5) flying at Swan Lake.<\/p>\n

 Jeremy Tatum writes:  The fly is beyond my knowledge to identify, although the genus Pollenia<\/em> passes through my mind – although I am by no means sure of this.   If any dipterist out there has a suggestion for its identification, please do let us know.<\/p>\n

   Here are three snails from Carey Road.  Two of them were camera-shy (or to be honest, I lacked patience), but one obliged.  You can appreciate how fast snails can move only if you are sitting behind a camera with your finger on the expose button.<\/p>\n
