Invertebrates spotted by Ian Cooper at Colquitz River Park before dawn, June 23 2024<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Jumping Bristletail \u00a0Pedetontus saltator<\/em>. (Microcoryphia \u2013 Machilidae)\u00a0\u00a0 Ian Cooper<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Marie O\u2019Shaughnessy writes:\u00a0 Outerbridge Park tour Sunday June 23rd 2024, for butterflies and dragonflies.\u00a0 Butterflies were:
\n1 Western Tiger Swallowtail
\n<\/strong>2 Cabbage Whites<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Dragonflies were:
\n1 male Cardinal Meadowhawk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Four-spotted Skimmer \u00a0Libellula quadrimaculata<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 (Odo.: Libellulidae)\u00a0\u00a0 Marie O\u2019Shaughnessy<\/p>\n

\"\"Sympetrum\u00a0 <\/em>sp. (Odo.: Libellulidae)\u00a0\u00a0 Marie O\u2019Shaugnessy<\/p>\n

Marie also photographed this exuvia.\u00a0 Dr Rob Cannings rises to the challenge and writes:
\nThe exuvia is definitely an aeshnid by its form. The view doesn’t show the characteristics required for a foolproof identification, but it has the short labium of a Rhionaeschna<\/em> (and it just looks like one to me \u2013 hard to describe why). Because we are at the height of the appearance of R. multicolor<\/em> and R. californica<\/em>, emergence is probably mostly over, my guess is that this is a Blue-eyed Darner exuvia. The fact that this species is the most common darner around here in the summer just adds to the high probability. And the local Aeshna<\/em> species have hardly begun emergence yet.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Tatum shows a small moth reared on blackberry from a caterpillar found at Swan Lake.\u00a0 Thanks to Dr Jason Dombrowskie, who writes:\u00a0 I\u2019m 95% sure that is a female Archips rosana<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
