Jeff Gaskin writes:   Today, I saw the following butterflies :  Two Cabbage Whites  one at Tillicum Centre, and one on Nelthorpe Street just north of Swan Lake.  The Painted Lady was still at the top of Christmas Hill on the north summit.  It appeared there at precisely 2:28 p.m.

Kirsten Mills did even better than I did.  Her best butterfly was a Mourning Cloak seen on Mann Avenue in Saanich.  She saw a total of 13 Cabbage Whites from Mann Avenue to Glanford Road then along Mckenzie Avenue to Quadra Street then to the Pat Bay highway and then to McKenzie Avenue to finally North Dairy Road where she lives. On each one of those streets she saw two Cabbage Whites, with the exception of North Dairy Road where she only saw one.

Jeremy Tatum writes:  I saw no Cabbage Whites today, but I saw four Autographa californica moths flying around at McIntyre Reservoir at about 4:00 pm
