   Here is another bunch of moth eggs, found at Rithet’s Bog on a seedhead of Reed Canary Grass.  They are almost certainly the same species as the eggs shown on September 1 evening, namely the European Large Yellow Underwing Moth <\/strong>Noctua pronuba<\/em><\/strong>.  The September 1 eggs were white – they had only just been laid.  The ones below are almost black – they are just about to hatch.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Today I saw a pristine fresh Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong>, at King’s Pond, Ascot Drive.  The last one reported to Invert Alert was on August 20.<\/p>\n

September 1.  The last adult reported to Invert Alert was on July 15 – although Jeremy Tatum found a young caterpillar on September 1.<\/p>\n

   Jochen M\u00f6hr writes from Metchosin:  I constantly have at least one Pine White<\/strong> in view, sometimes up to two of them – never more simultaneously.  Also a single Cabbage White<\/strong> once or twice a day, and one or two Woodland Skippers<\/strong>.  This morning I also saw a Grey Hairstreak<\/strong>.  Jeremy Tatum writes:  I don’t know when this species was last reported to Invert Alert!  Probably some time in June, I would think.<\/p>\n
