Western Tiger Swallowtails, Lorquin\u2019s Admirals and Essex Skippers are numerous just now.\u00a0 For example, today, June 18, Jeff Gaskin counted a total of 104 Lorquin\u2019s Admirals <\/strong>at three locations (63 at Swan Lake) and 37 Western Tiger Swallowtails.\u00a0 <\/strong>However, there have been few reports of Pale Tiger Swallowtails in the last few days, so observers are asked to keep a look-out for them.\u00a0\u00a0 Jeff reports a Painted Lady <\/strong>at Swan Lake today.\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum saw two Painted Ladies<\/strong> at the top of Mount Tolmie.<\/p>\n
