Pretty much every step I took flushed one or two. They are all over that field. Really nice to see that they are doing well. Sure wish there was a way to save one of these locations for them. Anyway, I wouldn’t hazard to guess a number, but it would easily be 100+. Got hundreds of images to go through, but here’s one that I processed when I got home. <\/p>\n

   After that, I drove to Mount Tolmie and got Anise<\/strong>, Western Tiger<\/strong> and Pale Tiger Swallowtails<\/strong>, Lorquin’s Admiral, Purplish Copper, Cabbage White,<\/strong> a small blue one that I did not get a good enough look to suggest an ID, but looks like the Western Spring Azure, and a small brown one [Cedar Hairstreak?  – Jeremy] that I have never seen before. Possibly a moth though.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I am interested in seeing to what extent the shape of the “comma” mark on the underside of our comma species can help with the identification of the species.  Here is a not very good photograph of a male Satyr Comma<\/strong> from Goldstream Park, though it does show the comma mark fairly well.<\/p>\n
