\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 My computer has been \u201cdown\u201d for about a week, and consequently Invertebrate Alert has also been down, for which I apologize.\u00a0\u00a0 A huge amount of email has accumulated in the meantime, so it may still be a little while before we are back to normal, but we\u2019ll try.\u00a0 To start with, while my memory is fresh, a couple of sightings of my own:\u00a0 A Cabbage White<\/strong> along Carey Road on September 30, and another Cabbage White<\/strong> over McKenzie Avenue on October 1, so we have an October butterfly.<\/p>\n

And just before press time, we hear of two more October butterflies, from Steven Roias, who writes:\u00a0 Yesterday\u00a0 (October 1) at Jordan River, I saw a fresh Mourning Cloak<\/strong> and a fresh Red Admiral<\/strong>. This was opposite the road where surfers pursue their pastime.<\/p>\n

And Jeff Gaskin reports a Lorquin\u2019s Admiral <\/strong>from Swan Lake, September 30.<\/p>\n

Two somewhat similar communications from Val George (Oak Bay) and Jochen M\u00f6hr (Metchosin) both on September 24:<\/p>\n

Two more moths below from Jochen M\u00f6hr, October 1:<\/p>\n

\"\"Tetracis jubararia <\/em>(or possibly pallulata<\/em>) (Lep.: Geometridae)
\nJochen M\u00f6hr<\/p>\n

\u00a0T. pallulata<\/em> is often a bit more speckly than this, though this is variable, so we can\u2019t completely rule out the possibillty<\/p>\n
