 <\/strong>   <\/strong>Just a day after Jochen Möhr photographed  Thera juniperata <\/em>in Metchosin (see yesterday’s Invert Alert), one turned up in Saanich.  That’s interesting, because all the books I have consulted (writes Jeremy Tatum) give Juniper as the only larval foodplant.  Juniper is not a very common wild plant here, so presumably the moth uses cultivated garden junipers.<\/p>\n
