   Jeremy Tatum photographed what he took to be an entirely different spider from Poplar Avenue, Saanich, on September 18.  Surprise! –  Thanks to Robb Bennett for telling us that it is almost certainly a female of the same species!  (Slight chance of its being a close relative E. agrestis<\/em>).  <\/span><\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes that he saw another Banded Woolly Bear <\/strong>by the side of Martindale Road – we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the coming weeks.  More of a surprise, near the Garcia Nurseries was a penultimate instar caterpillar of a Painted Lady<\/strong>.  Unfortunately the caterpillar refused to uncurl for the photographer before press time, so we just see it curled up.  If there are caterpillars around just now, then there’s maybe a chance of seeing an adult during the October Butterfly walk (see September 17 posting).<\/span><\/p>\n
