2018 June 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/strong>David Harris and Jeremy Tatum visited Mount Douglas yesterday afternoon to see a wonderful show of Pale Tiger Swallowtails<\/strong> – at least eight countable at any time – plus a few Western Tiger Swallowtails <\/strong>all whirling around in a spectacular display.  While there we also found a caterpillar of a Western Spring Azure <\/strong>in an Ocean Spray flower.   In the evening we went to Christmas Hill where there were many Painted Ladies <\/strong>and a few Red Admirals <\/strong>hill-topping, and we also saw a Grey Hairstreak<\/strong> perching on an oak tree on the summit.<\/p>\n

   Marie O’Shaughnessy encountered four Lorquin’s Admirals <\/strong>at a single location in Uplands Park on June 17.  Here is one of them.<\/p>\n

Most were quite worn. Also there were: one Painted Lady, one Essex Skipper, one Cabbage White and one Western Tiger Swallowtail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  Also I went to the field west of the gravel trail at Quick’s Bottom and found 21 Ringlets<\/strong>, as well as six Lorquin’s Admirals<\/strong> and two Cabbage Whites.<\/strong><\/p>\n
