Hello Butterfly Watchers,<\/strong>
\nThis is a reminder for the August butterfly walk on Sunday, August 4, at 1 p.m . We meet near the Mount Tolmie summit by the reservoir parking lot. After a look around the summit area, we will decide on a destination from there. \u00a0Suggestions welcome.<\/strong>
\nSee you on Sunday,<\/strong>

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Gordon also writes: I walked a portion of the Panhandle Trail yesterday (Friday, August 2) and found about 10 Woodland Skippers<\/strong> and 7 Pine Whites<\/strong>.\u00a0 Most of the skippers were on a patch of a small purple flowered mint species. I think it is an introduced plant. Further along was a patch of goldenrod with many Pine Whites and a few skippers.\u00a0 I have attached a couple of photographs. We have had the same species at home this week, and one Painted Lady<\/strong>. We found a Large Yellow Underwing <\/strong> \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Noctua <\/em><\/strong>pronuba,<\/em> last evening.<\/p>\n
