On August 7, Mike McGrenere photographed a Sulphur <\/strong>butterfly at McIntyre Reservoir \u2013 presumably the same one seen by participants in the VNHS Butterfly Walk on August 6.\u00a0 It can be quite difficult to distinguish between Orange and Clouded Sulphurs.\u00a0 For the time being I am labelling this one as either\/or.\u00a0 We may be able to get a more certain identification later.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, Jeremy Tatum found the caterpillar shown below stretched out along the midrib of a Nootka Rose leaf, protected by a silken shelter.\u00a0 The adult moth emerged yesterday, August 7, and was identified by Libby Avis as Carcina quercana.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Much more later\u2026<\/p>\n

Two many photographs is a nice problem to have – but…\u00a0 it takes a little white to process them all, so, please, I’d like to impose a limit of six pics per person per day.\u00a0 Sixpixmax!<\/p>\n
