   <\/strong>Aziza Cooper sends a photograph of a Cinnabar Moth<\/strong> from Pedder Bay, May 24.  She also reports that:  A worn Milbert’s Tortoiseshell<\/strong> passed by the corner of Helmcken and Craigflower at about 11am. May 29. I was without a camera, but I saw the dark centre and light edges of the wings, small size and fast, direct flight.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  About a week ago I found a newly-hatched caterpillar of the Western Pine Elfin <\/strong>along the Pathfinder trail off Munn Road.  I have to find flowers of Salal to feed it on; this is surprisingly hard to find when you urgently need it.  However, just outside the front door of the UVic Elliott building where I (sort of) work, there is a small flower bed, which has a Salal plant, and I took one small flower sprig of this when I left the office last night.  When I got home I found that it had another small Western Brown Elfin caterpillar on it – an amazing quite fortuitous find right outside my office.  The caterpillar is inside one of the flowers at the moment, but I found the empty eggshell on a small stipule below one of the flowers.<\/p>\n

   He continues:  Some hill-topping nymphalids are still to be seen in the late afternoons on the Mount Tolmie reservoir.  Last night (May 29) it was a Red Admiral <\/strong>and three Ladies <\/strong>(not sure whether Painted or West Coast – I think both.)<\/p>\n
