\u00a0\u00a0 Barb McGrenere writes:\u00a0 On March 30, Mike and I saw our first Mourning Cloak<\/b> of the season perched on the white flowers of a cherry tree along the Lochside Trail north of Blenkinsop Lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum posts a photograph of Egira crucialis<\/i>. <\/b>The moth, which ecloded (emerged) today, was reared from a caterpillar found last year, and its identity is therefore not in doubt.\u00a0 This suggests strongly that the two moths shown on March 29 are also E. crucialis <\/i>as labelled.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 On the same day that Gordon Hart (March 28) photographed the bee Bombus melanopygus<\/i> in his Highlands garden (see March 29 posting), Gordon also photographed there another somewhat similar bee.\u00a0 We thank Steven Roias for confirming its identification as B. vancouverensis<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n
