   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I haven’t found anyone to take over from me while I am on holiday, Aug 9 – 26<\/strong>, so Invertebrate Alert will be closed during that period.  When I get back, you can send me your observations or a very few of your very best photographs of unusual invertebrates, but please don’t send me huge numbers of photographs of our most frequently photographed insects during that period.  Thanks!<\/p>\n

   Annie Pang sends photographs of two flies, kindly identified by Matthias Buck.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum saw a young caterpillar of Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong> on willow at King’s Pond today, August 1.  And in the evening, at 6:30 pm. there was a Red Admiral<\/strong> on the Mount Tolmie Reservoir, near the paint blotch.   Jess Gaskin reports a Western Tiger<\/strong> Swallowtail<\/strong> , which looked to him to be in pretty bad shape, in the flower garden in Esquimalt Gorge Park.<\/p>\n

   Nathan Fisk sends three photographs from Saturna Island today.  I am reproducing two of them here.  The third is of too horrific a nature (X-rated) to be shown without advance warning, and is unsuitable for children or those with a nervous disposition.   I’ll post it as soon as we have exact identities of the species involved.  Watch this site. <\/p>\n
