2018 March 18

 

   Two years ago, on March 21, Rosemary Jorna photographed a pyraloid moth (see 2016 March 30 Invert Alert), which we were unable to identify.  Now, on March 15   this year, Moralea Milne found and photographed the same species in Metchosin. “It appeared to fly out of a Manzanita bush. They seem to be only on the west facing slope, grass/moss hillside, above 200 m, from a quick reconnaissance. There were a number of them flying around.”

 

   We still don’t know what it is.  Here’s Moralea’s photograph:
