   Jeremy continues.  On the August 9 posting, I reported a sighting of a clearwing moth (Sesiidae) from Swan Lake.  I now have some idea which species it might have been.  Scroll to August 9 to see.

 

   And here’s a real rarity – an American Lady – photographed by Martin Dollenkamp on August 8 at Black Creek!  Communicated by Mike Yip.  Butterfly enthusiasts should keep a look out for it – there may be more!
