Well, writes Jeremy Tatum, that must be the shortest hospital visit ever, and it means, I think, that both I and Invert Sightings are back in full working order.
We start with a highflyer moth that Val George photographed at his Oak Bay house yesterday morning, May 13.

Also on May 13, Marie O’Shaughnessy sends first-for-the-year reports and photographs of two butterflies. A Painted Lady on Mount Tolmie, and a Propertius Duskywing on Little Saanich Mountain (Observatory Hill).
