   Jeff Gaskin writes:  Last weekend, June 20 , 21, Nairn Hollott, who lives in the 4300 block of Prospect Lake Road., had at her place 2 male Purplish Coppers and one rather fresh Satyr Comma.  Today, I hiked the Galloping Goose trail from Sooke Road at Glen Lake Road to the Colwood Corners and had the following results: 42 Cabbage Whites, 23 Western Tiger Swallowtails, 8 Lorquin’s Admirals, 7 Pale Swallowtails, and 1 Painted Lady. The Painted Lady was actually in Colwood Creek Park which is right off the Goose trail near Jacklin Road.

   Jeremy Tatum writes that there were two Common Emerald moths outside his back door this morning – alas, in too awkward a place to photograph.
