   <\/strong>Jochen M\u00f6hr’s moths from Metchosin this morning.    Tetracis jubararia<\/em>\/pallulata<\/em>  <\/em>and Drepanulatrix secundaria<\/em>\/monicaria <\/em> are two pairs that can be very difficult to separate, because the variation within a species seems to be greater than the difference between them, and a lot also depends on state of wear.  Viewers, I hope, will forgive us if we don’t always identify them to species.  The Tetracis <\/em>shown on October 6 is guaranteed jubararia <\/em><\/strong>– <\/em> it was reared from caterpillar on Snowberry.   T. pallulata <\/em>is a conifer feeder.<\/p>\n

   Jody Wells forwards a photograph from C.D. Mazoff of a tick<\/strong> on the face of a Brewer’s Blackbird.  We cannot tell from the photograph exactly which species of tick it is.  In a recent paper, seven species of tick were recorded from passerine birds in Canada – six of them from the genus Ixodes<\/em>, and one from Haemaphysalis<\/em>.   The tick will probably drop off when it is engorged.<\/p>\n
