\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jody Wells sends photographs of a dragonfly from Sluggett Reservoir, Brentwood Bay, September 10, and a spectacular White-lined Hawk Moth <\/strong>from McIntyre Reservoir, September 5.\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 My apologies for misidentifying the dragonfly in the original posting.\u00a0 Dr Rob Cannings has put me right.\u00a0 Rob writes: This is an old male Sympetrum costiferum<\/em>. Hard to see all the features, but the abdomen pattern is correct. Red venation (amber leading edge of wing present in younger individuals has faded away); red, black bordered stigma. Brown\/red face. Brown to black legs. Fine black markings on sides of thorax not visible. Mature S. obtrusum<\/em> always have a bright, white face. The abdomen has a strong triangular black patch on the side of each segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Gordon Hart sends a photograph of its close relative, the Bedstraw Hawk Moth<\/strong>, from the Petunias in his Highlands garden, Saptember 10.\u00a0 Gordon writes:\u00a0 \u00a0* I enclose the blurry moth picture for identification, not for posting!\u00a0*\u00a0 Well, maybe it is not quite as crisp and sharp as Jody\u2019s moth at rest, but I think viewers will agree that a sight like this is just too exciting not to share.\u00a0 This is the fourth report this year of this species to Invert Alert.\u00a0 We have had two adults and a caterpillar earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
