   While there are still Cabbage White butterflies to be seen, no non-Cabbage butterflies have been reported to Invertebrate Sightings since August 25.  Please let us know if you see any.

  Jeff Gaskin reports seeing a couple of interesting dragonflies today.  On September 2,  there was a Common Green Darner in Esquimalt Gorge Park and on the same day there was a Black Saddlebags at Summit Park reservoir.
