\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0\u00a0 On Wednesday evening, July 3, at 6:30 pm, I saw three Painted Ladies <\/strong>and one West Coast Lady <\/strong>at the top of Mount Douglas.\u00a0 Sorry, I forgot to post this earlier, though there\u2019s probably a good chance that the West Coast Lady is still there.\u00a0 It was on the far side of the teacup. Yesterday, July 4, at 6:30 pm, I saw two Painted Ladies <\/strong>at the top of Mount Tolmie.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Cheryl Hoyle sends pictures of two grasshoppers.\u00a0 In spite of the difference in colour, they are probably both the same species.\u00a0 They are not in their final instar, and this makes exact identification difficult, though Claudia Copley writes that they are in the genus Melanoplus<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
