   Val George writes:  Yesterday afternoon, June 11, there was a bonanza of butterflies on and in the immediate vicinity of the Mount Tolmie reservoir: at least 5 Western Tiger Swallowtails, 3 Pale Swallowtails, 2 Anise Swallowtails, at least 3 Painted Ladies, 4 Lorquin’s Admirals, and one Propertius Duskywing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:  And at 6:30 p.m. I took David Harris, straight off the flight from England, to Mount Tolmie, and we saw nothing <\/strong>there!   Well, almost nothing.  Just when we were about to give up in total disappointment David spotted a rather worn Painted Lady <\/strong>(same species as he sees in England) near the Jeffery Pine.  David cheerfully remarked that it was exciting because it was the first one he had seen this year.  Then we caught a brief glimpse of a Lorquin’s Admiral <\/strong>disappearing over a bush.  We visited the reservoir again this morning – and saw nothing!  Later on today, we had more success – a Cabbage White<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>at UVic, and a brief glimpse from the car of a distant Western Tiger Swallowtail.<\/strong>  <\/strong>We found three caterpillars – a Western Spring Azure <\/strong>on Ocean Spray on Mount Douglas, a lost Silver-spotted Tiger Moth<\/strong> at UVic (we put it on a nearby Grand Fir), and a Euthyatira pudens <\/em><\/strong>on Cornus<\/em> stolonifera <\/em> at UVic.<\/p>\n

Specifically:  12 Lorquin’s Admirals, 19 Ringlets (Large Heath), 1 Mourning Cloak, 7 Western Tiger Swallowtails, 4 Cabbage Whites.<\/strong>  <\/strong>Attached are some pictures of the Lorquin’s Admiral and the Ringlet (which has had a rough time judging by its mangled wings).<\/p>\n
