 <\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Saturday June 20) begins the June Butterfly Count. The count period is from the 3rd Saturday to the 4th Sunday: June 20 to June 28. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please use the form at https:\/\/www.vicnhs.bc.ca\/website\/index.php\/butterfly-count<\/a> to submit your results. Submit a separate form for each area you count, so I can take the higher number in case of double counting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’d like a suggestion about what area to count, send me an email.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to be removed from this list or if you know of anyone who would like to be added, please email me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for submitting your sightings, and happy counting! <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The monthly butterfly walk<\/strong> is held on the first Sunday of each month. The next walk is on July 5. We meet at Mt Tolmie summit at 1:00pm and decide on our destination from there. The walk will be cancelled if the weather is cool or rainy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy the butterflies!<\/p>\n

   Aziza Cooper writes: I went up to Mt Washington and although it was a cloudy afternoon, there were quite a few butterflies. Anna’s Blues<\/strong> were near the chairlift in front of the Alpine Lodge, many Western Meadow Fritillaries<\/strong> were along the road to the east, and Great Arctics<\/strong> along the Linton Trail where it heads uphill from the road. A Painted Lady<\/strong> and one female blue<\/strong> were also there. Please help with identification of the blue, although my photo doesn’t show much of the ventral side.  [Jeremy Tatum responds:  I have seen Silvery Blues as dark as this one, and I suggest that as a tentative possibility.  But I am not familiar with all the blues that might occur on Mount Washington, so I wouldn’t really like to say!]<\/p>\n
