\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Ian Cooper writes:\u00a0 Here are some of this morning’s photos from Colquitz River Park in Saanich and the Galloping Goose Trail in View Royal. Not a great haul on this occasion. This was partly due to the scarcity of visible critter activity I saw, which was odd, given that it was relatively mild out. Perhaps the volume of fresh fallen leaves on the ground in Colquitz River Park was obscuring some, if not many, critters from view.\u00a0 Elsewhere, recent ‘brush clearing’ apparent along the Galloping Goose trail in View Royal was another factor. Much of the previous lush green ground cover and smaller bushes along the sides of the trail had been razed to stubble near the 9 km marker, which is my normal go-to destination to scout for critters to photograph. It was distressing, frankly. I go to this site often and have an affinity for the creatures in that stretch of habitat but, for example, I couldn’t locate any of the Pimoa altioculata<\/i> \u00a0spiders I’d seen and photographed in the leaf litter previously, such was the disturbance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 We hope it is understood that while we cannot absolutely agree on 100 percent accurate identifications of all creatures shown on this Invertebrate Alert Site, we believe that the great majority \u2013 including those on today\u2019s posting \u2013 are correct with a high degree of probability.\u00a0 We always welcome help from knowledgeable viewers \u2013 especially if you think we may have occasionally, like Homer, nodded.<\/span><\/p>\n
