Jeff Gaskin reports sightings of seven Cabbage Whites in the last two days in various locations, and another two were reported by Marie O’Shaughnessy, so keep reporting this species. It is evidently not yet finished for the year. Jeff also reports a California Tortoiseshell at McMicking Point on October 14. He writes that there was Ivy nearby. This is the fifth California Tortoiseshell reported since September 19 – so keep an eye out for this one, too – especially at clumps of Ivy in flower.
