   And the only butterfly I had seen this year was a fleeting glimpse of a Cabbage White on April 1 – but today I saw 2 Cabbage Whites<\/strong> at Panama Flats.  Also at Panama Flats, a Banded Woolly Bear <\/strong>(caterpillar of the Isabella Moth).  We usually see these a-plenty at Panama Flats in October.  They overwinter as full-grown caterpillars, and are seen again in early spring.<\/p>\n

   Rebecca Reader-Lee found these snail eggs under some moss while she was gardening at her home in the North Highlands today.  Does anyone dare to identify them?  They certainly look a lot like Cornu aspersum<\/em> – but I dare say many snail eggs look quite similar.<\/p>\n
