   Bill Katz sends a photograph of Tolype distincta from Goldstream Park this morning.  Most British Columbia records of this species are listed under the name T. dayi, although dayi and distincta are probably the same species.

   Gordon Hart sends a photograph of a very fresh-looking pug.  You’d think it would be easy to identify – but it ain’t!  Jeremy Tatum’s wild guess is Eupithecia maestosa,but that’s not much more than a guess. E. annulata is at least as good a fit.

   Gordon writes that he has several Woodland Skippers (at least 12), two Pine Whites and a Lorquin’s Admiral.
