   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I saw a Cabbage White<\/strong> flying at Maber Flats today (October 11).  Also there were lots of Banded Woolly Bears <\/strong>– and a distressing number seemed to have been stomped on – more that one would expect from random accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Scott Gilmore writes from Upper Lantzville:  It was nice to find a Maple Spanworm<\/strong> (<\/strong>Ennomos magnaria<\/strong><\/em>)<\/strong> just outside our backdoor today. Jeremy Tatum comments:  Lovely moth!  I hadn’t heard the common name “Maple Spanworm” before – but apparently that is the name used in forestry circles.  I wonder if the caterpillar actually eats maples?  The only macro moth caterpillar I have ever found on maple is the Winter Moth.  E. magnaria <\/em>is usually on willow.<\/span><\/p>\n
