There were 17 that I counted at the Royal Roads University and another 9 along Goldstream Avenue right by the Royal Colwood Golf Course.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I visited Swan Lake for about twenty minutes today, and I didn’t see any adult butterflies at all.  However, I found two tiny (3 mm, first instar) caterpillars of Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong>, both on Ocean Spray. Lorquin’s Admiral spends the winter as a young caterpillar. There were two rather different geometrid moths under the lights at the front door of the Nature House – a somewhat modest Idaea dimidiata<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>and a spectacular Pero mizon<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong>  <\/strong>At 4:00 p.m. there were three butterflies at the top of Mount Tolmie.  A Western Tiger Swallowtail <\/strong>on the reservoir;  a pristine fresh Anise Swallowtail <\/strong>flying around the picnic table area, occasionally settling on the plum tree at the top of the stairs; and a Painted Lady <\/strong>on the roadside next to the Jeffery Pine.<\/p>\n
