   On September 30, I saw about half-a-dozen or so Cabbage Whites <\/strong> between Martindale and Island View Roads.   Will we see any butterflies in October?  Sulphurs have been known to appear in October.  There’s still a chance of some moth caterpillars – October is the month for the Banded Woolly Bear.  Panama Flats is a good location for these.<\/p>\n

   Jochen writes: Because it is the last day of the month, here is the total tally for my September observations on one wall.  They are numbers of observations, not of individuals, because I have no control over which individuals are observed numerous times.  For instance, I am sure all five observations of  Lithomoia germana<\/em>  are of the same individual.  There is no way of knowing how many individuals are covered by the species for which there are many observations.  <\/p>\n
