Jeremy Tatum writes:  I don’t know what this fly is, except I think it is probably in the Family Tephritidae, and just possibly genus Terellia.  If any viewer can help, please let us know.

Gordon Hart sends a photograph of a Ringlet, nectaring on Yarrow, from the field behind Island View Beach, September 4.  This photograph well illustrates that the Vancouver Island population of this widespread and variable Holarctic species, also known as Large Heath, has no trace of any “ringlet” mark.
