\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 On Mount Douglas today at 4:30 pm I saw four Sara Orangetips<\/strong>, and, at the very top, hilltopping, were a California Tortoiseshell <\/strong>and a Painted Lady <\/strong>(the first reported to Invert Alert this year), chasing each other around the Teacup.\u00a0 There was a California Tortoiseshell<\/strong> on the Mount Tolmie reservoir at 5:00 pm.\u00a0 Did the tortoiseshell and the lady migrate here after spending the winter further south?\u00a0 Or did they overwinter here?\u00a0 Who knows?<\/p>\n

At 5:30 pm I was filling my car up with gasoline at the gas station at the corner of Shelbourne and Pear Street.\u00a0\u00a0 My tank was half-full when I noticed, perched on the very pump that I was using, a male Ceanothus Silk Moth.\u00a0 <\/strong>I took it home, where it allowed me only one brief photograph on the carpet of my living room.\u00a0 I released it near the Famous Fence on Lochside Drive, where it was photographed in much more natural surroundings by Talia Northgrave.<\/p>\n
