Yesterday I saw one Mourning Cloak<\/strong> on Cross Road.   At the Notch at least four male Orangetips<\/strong> were flying frantically about as well as one Propertius Duskywing<\/strong> and many Cabbage Whites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

   Mike sends two photographs of the day-flying geometrid moth Epirrhoe plebeculata<\/em><\/strong> –  this is the one I keep asking viewers to look out for egg-laying.  Now you know what to look for!<\/p>\n

   And, talking of day-flying geometrids, Jeremy Tatum and  Bill Savale saw a fine Archiaeris infans<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>in the woods at Royal Roads University on  March 30.  But no  butterflies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   Jochen sends pictures of more moths from Metchosin.  Some moths can be hard to identify for certain, so we have left some of them as “sp.”<\/p>\n
