   Here is a Large Yellow Underwing<\/strong>, which emerged this morning from a pupa dug up from Jochen Moehr’s Metchosin garden.  I released it on Mount Tolmie, from where, doubtless, it will fly into someone else’s garden to lay eggs.  Unfortunately it did not allow me to photograph its hindwings.<\/p>\n
