   First of all, I met Marie O’Shaughnessy at McIntyre Road reservoir today, October 2,  and immediately we started seeing sulphurs.  I would say we had two or three Clouded Sulphurs<\/strong> and two for sure Orange Sulphurs<\/strong>. Marie was able to take some pictures. Also, in the Martindale valley we counted 38 Cabbage Whites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

   Then, I coerced Marie into driving to Markham Road, where I had seen a nice, crisp looking Lorquin’s<\/strong> Admiral<\/strong> back on September 22, and we found to our amazement that it was still there.  This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Lorquin’s Admiral in October, and Marie took a few pictures.  The butterfly’s colours are still quite vivid, but it is missing little parts of its wings.<\/p>\n
