  Mike Yip writes, from Nanoose Bay:  A Common Woodnymph<\/strong> stopped briefly in my garden this morning. Lucky I had my telephoto lens or I wouldn’t have gotten a shot. Also saw a couple of Cabbage Whites<\/strong>, 1 Pine White<\/strong>, and about 15 <\/strong>Woodland<\/strong> Skippers <\/strong>enjoying the patch of catoni asters.<\/p>\n
