   Ann Nightingale sends pictures of an interesting catch in a mist net at the Rocky Point Bird Observatory bird-banding station.  This is one of the giant sawflies <\/strong>(Cimbicidae), which Ann correctly identifies (of course!)  as the Elm Sawfliy, <\/strong>Cimbex americana.<\/em><\/strong>  <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n

   Annie Pang reared a Mouse <\/strong>From Gorge Park Gardens.  She fed it successfully on lettuce until it pupated, and today the adult Mouse Moth<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>emerged and posed for photographs.   The Mouse Moth is not only mouse-coloured, but it will often scuttle around like Mus musculus<\/em> rather than take flight.<\/p>\n

   Zeke Gilmore spotted a rather uncommon skipper, identified by Norbert Kondla as a male Dun Skipper<\/strong>, in Upper Lantzville today, and got his Dad to photograph it.   A valuable record of a species that is officially “At Risk”.<\/p>\n
