Marie O\u2019Shaughnessy writes: An early afternoon visit to McIntyre reservoir on June 8 provided a number of dragonflies and damselflies and a few Cabbage White butterflies<\/p>\n

I found a good-looking female Eight-spotted Skimmer,
\n2 Blue-eyed Darners
\n1 Common Green Darner, \u00a0very active and unable to get a photo
\n6 Cardinal Meadowhawks, 2 in\u00a0tandem.
\nAt least 8 Damselflies, Pacific Forktails and Tule Bluets\u2026.Some in tandem.<\/p>\n

The only butterflies seen there\u00a0 today were three Cabbage Whites.\u00a0 Two additional Cabbage Whites were near Blenkinsop Lake, and one at Outerbridge Park.\u00a0 Also at Outerbridge Park were two Western Spring Azures and two Blue-eyed Darners.<\/p>\n
