   Devon Parker reports sightings of a Cabbage White and a Red Admiral from Fonyo Beach, October 11.  You’ll see that yesterday’s posting also gave sightings of one each of these same two species, also on October 11.  Unsurprisingly, there have been no further reports of butterflies since the arrival of the first of the promised three storms. But don’t give up – if we have a nice spell there might still be a butterfly or two on the wing.
