   Jochen M\u00f6hr writes from Metchosin:  This morning there were just two Tortricidia testacea<\/em><\/strong> and one very pale Hydriomena<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>of which I attach a picture.   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Yes, I agree, it’s a highflyer (Hydriomena <\/em>sp.), but it’s quite a worn specimen, and it would be a brave person to identify it.  If it were February, I’d guess at H. nubilofasciata<\/em>, but I don’t know if any would last until June, even though this one is worn.  Otherwise H. irata, californiata, expurgata…<\/em> all look like possibilities.  Let’s just leave it as Hydriomena <\/em><\/strong>sp.<\/strong><\/p>\n
