\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 The Lorquin\u2019s Admiral <\/strong>shown below came from the caterpillar and chrysalis shown in various stages on May 30, 31, June 1.\u00a0 I released it this morning on the Philadelphus<\/em> at the entrance to the Mount Tolmie reservoir.\u00a0 There were at least another four Lorquin\u2019s Admirals on the same bush, all in pristine fresh condition.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Nathan Fisk writes (June 10):\u00a0 Wonderful day to be a naturalist! A good break in the clouds and wind for all the inverts to emerge. Many Lorquin\u2019s Admirals, Tiger and Anise swallowtails<\/strong>, Propertius Duskywing<\/strong> (attached), Eight-spotted Skimmer<\/strong>, blue damselflie<\/strong>s, a “dusty” blue dragonfly<\/strong> that I’ve not seen before, \u00a0\u200e and abundant Bombus vosnesenskii, melanopygus<\/strong> and bifarius<\/strong> feeding on Snowberry and Himalayan Blackberry.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Liam Singh sends photographs of two caterpillars from Mount Tolmie.\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 I believe the first is Tetracis <\/em><\/strong>sp.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>It may be T. jubararia<\/em>, though I have never seen one that colour, so there is a possibility that it is a different species.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Liam\u2019s next photograph is the same species of noctuid caterpillar that Nathan Fisk showed on June 1.\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 I have seen this caterpillar several times in previous years, but I have never found out what it is.\u00a0 I am very anxious to find out.\u00a0 If any viewer finds one like this, please retain it for me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Also from Moun Tolmie, writes Liam Singh:\u00a0 One highlight was being able to see 11 adult Oak<\/strong> Treehoppers<\/strong>! They were along the North side in a small Garry Oak.<\/p>\n
