   The yellow Yellow Woolly Bear <\/strong>caterpillar shown on August 2 has since undergone ecdysis (skin change) into its final instar, and is now a much richer brown, less yellow, colour.<\/p>\n

   Jeff Gaskin writes today:  While I didn’t find too many butterflies at McIntyre Road  reservoir – nothing but Cabbage Whites <\/strong>–  I did see a good number of dragonflies.  I followed up on what Val George reported the other day and found many Eight-spotted Skimmers<\/strong>, a few Blue-eyed Darners<\/strong>, Blue Dashers<\/strong>, 2 or 3 Black Saddlebags<\/strong>, an individual Western Pondhawk<\/strong>, and a Cardinal Meadowhawk<\/strong>.  The Black<\/strong> Saddlebags <\/strong>and Blue Dashers<\/strong> were lifers for me.<\/p>\n
