   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Yesterday (June 6) at about 4:00 pm I went to the Mount Tolmie reservoir, and there were eight or more tiger swallowtails <\/strong>(both species) flying around and chasing each other and obviously thoroughly enjoying themselves.  It was quite spectacular to watch them.  There were just a couple of Painted Ladies<\/strong> on the reservoir – the nymphalids tend to come a bit later, say half past five or so.<\/p>\n
