\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeff Gaskin writes:\u00a0Yesterday, August 14, at 4:50 pm, on Mount Tolmie on or near the concrete reservoir were a Red Admiral<\/strong>, a West Coast Lady<\/strong>, and 3 Painted Ladies<\/strong>. There were also 2 other ladies which I couldn\u2019t identify because of wear and tear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, August 15, the Tuesday Group and I saw a Western Tiger Swallowtail<\/strong> towards the start of Lochside trail and the connector bike path which ends at Blenkinsop Road and Mount Douglas Cross Road.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And today, August 15, Jeremy Tatum visited Mount Tolmie and found a Red Admiral<\/strong> and two Painted Ladies <\/strong>on the reservoir, and a further two Painted Ladies <\/strong>near the Jeffery Pine.<\/p>\n

Mark Wynja writes:\u00a0 On Monday August 14, 2017 I arrived at McIntyre Reservoir at 1:15pm. Upon my arrival 1 Orange <\/strong>Sulphur<\/strong> was observed flying over the flowers at the west side of the reservoir. After about 10 minutes it flew north and did not return. Also present were 1 Anise Swallowtail, 1 male Purplish Copper, 2 Painted Ladies,<\/strong> many Cabbage Whites<\/strong>, and 2 Eight-spotted Skimmers.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Here are some of Mark\u2019s photographs from there – plus a Western Branded Skipper <\/strong>from Cordova Spit, August 6.<\/p>\n
