\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Gordon Hart writes, from the Highlands: Anne-Marie saw a butterfly land in the apple tree\u00a0 –\u00a0 so I grabbed my camera and ran out to have a look. I managed a couple of pictures of a California<\/strong> Tortoiseshell<\/strong>, and then, while waiting for it to reappear, I noticed a Red Admiral<\/strong> on the Buddleia flowers. I also photographed a syrphid fly<\/strong> on some fall Asters.\u00a0 [Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 The fly was identified for us \u2013 within minutes! \u2013 by Dr Jeff Skevington, in Ottawa!]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Mike McGrenere writes, from Cordova Bay:\u00a0 Barb and I watched a Satyr Comma<\/strong> land on the sunny stucco of our house this afternoon. It was there for about 30 seconds then flew off.<\/p>\n
