   Jochen has been getting some horror pictures of wasps dismembering moths and spiders at his moth location in Metchosin.  The wasp, identified by Sean McCann, is Vespula pensylvanica.<\/em><\/strong>  <\/em><\/strong>The spider was identified by Robb Bennett as a theridiid, but he feels it is not possible to further with certainty.<\/p>\n

   Aziza Cooper writes:  On Thursday, August 8, Ren Ferguson and I went up to Mount Tuam where she had seen large numbers of butterflies two weeks earlier. After the hot, dry weather most of the thistles had gone to seed, and the numbers were down. We found about four Zerene Fritillaries<\/strong> and ten or so Common Woodnymphs<\/strong>, as well as several Woodland Skippers<\/strong> and one flyby comma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
