    <\/strong>The September 2 VNHS monthly Butterfly walk yielded Cabbage White, Woodland Skipper,Ringlet, Purplish Copper.<\/strong>  <\/strong>Since then, it must have seemed to most of us, individually at least, that the butterfly season was over, most of us not seeing more than an occasional Cabbage White.<\/strong>  <\/strong>Yet collectively it has been a good deal more exciting than that.  Since that September 2 Butterfly Walk, the following additional butterflies have been seen, by one enthusiast or another, in the southern Vancouver Island birdwatching area:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monarch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong><\/p>\n

Red Admiral<\/strong><\/p>\n

Painted Lady<\/strong><\/p>\n

American Lady<\/strong><\/p>\n

California Tortoiseshell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mourning Cloak<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pine White<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grey Hairstreak<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   Not a bad haul – thirteen species in September.   And still on Vancouver Island, though not in the above area, there have been sightings of Green Comma <\/strong>and Hoary Comma<\/strong>.  And of course there have been many moths, including some spectaculars such as Black Witch <\/strong>and Catocala<\/em><\/strong>, and caterpillars of Lappet <\/strong>and Polyphemus <\/strong>moths.<\/p>\n
