Jeff Gaskin writes:  found  2 Lorquin’s Admirals at Swan lake today,  September 7, with one being at the parking lot and the other by the small foot bridge by Highway 17. I also did well with dragonflies at the lake today, September 7.  I had three darner species with several being Blue-eyed Darners, a few Paddle-tailed Darners, 2 Common Green Darners, 2 Eight Spotted Skimmers, and 3 Blue Dashers.

 

At Blenkinsop Lake today I saw at least five Blue-eyed Darners, and 1 Paddle-tailed Darner.

 

And Jeff adds later:    I found another  Lorquin’s Admiral from my mother’s backyard in the Gorge/Burnside neighbourhood this afternoon
