   Devon Parker writes:  My Dad and I went for looking for butterflies at Mount Brenton\/Mount Hall area near Chemainus today (July 24). We found a total of 104 butterflies comprising 13 different species. I also witnessed a very unusual behaviour of female Clodius Parnassian<\/strong> ovipositing eggs on the leaves of Alder, not Bleeding Heart. <\/p>\n

Sightings for the day:
1 Grey Hairstreak<\/strong>
1 Red Admiral<\/strong>
1 Western Sulphur<\/strong>
1 Western Meadow Fritillary<\/strong>
2 Comma sp.<\/strong>
2 Western Tiger Swallowtails <\/strong>
3 Dun Skippers<\/strong>
6 Anna’s Blue<\/strong>
8 Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong>
12 Clodius Parnassian<\/strong>
13 Mariposa Coppers<\/strong>
15 Blues (<\/strong>most likely all Anna’s)<\/strong>
39 Fritillaries (<\/strong>Speyeria<\/em><\/strong> sp.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Not many butterflies left in the immediate vicinity of Victoria just now, so it is good to hear that there are still plenty elsewhere on the Island.  My visit to Mount Tolmie at 6:00 this evening was not quite as profitable as Devon’s  to  Mounts Brenton and Mount Hall, but for the record there were two Red Admirals<\/strong> there.<\/p>\n
