Also here were no fewer than 7 Painted Ladies, a Ringlet or Large Heath, 3 Purplish Coppers, an Anise Swallowtail a few Woodland Skippers and numerous Cabbage Whites.  Another Orange Sulphur was along Martindale Road about half way down.

 

Today, August 21, there was a Western Tiger Swallowtail at the Capital City Allotment Gardens on Kent Road right next to the Pat Bay Highway.
