2023 June 23 morning<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>There was a lot of butterfly activity on Mount Tolmie around 6:30 pm yesterday.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what Aziza Cooper scored:<\/p>\n

Painted Lady – 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

West Coast Lady – 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Red Admiral – 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lorquin’s Admiral – 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pale Tiger Swallowtail – 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Western Tiger Swallowtail – 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cabbage White – 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are still Mourning Cloaks<\/strong> to be seen.\u00a0 Gordon Hart saw two imagines at the Pike Lake Substation ponds in June 21.<\/p>\n

[In case you are trying to sort out the grammar of the above sentence, Gordon saw two adult Mourning Cloaks.\u00a0 The adult stage of a butterfly is technically called an imago <\/em>(plural imagines <\/em>\u2013 four syllables).]<\/p>\n

The Mourning Cloak caterpillar shown on June 21 has pupated and formed this chrysalis:<\/p>\n
