Black bear making the most of the salmon run. Bears need to fatten up for winter.

I haven't posted a bear photo in two days 😲​ Got distracted by the storm 😁​ Tomorrow is day 4 of my private photo workshop and we are hoping to photograph some bears. This photo was taken last week on #VancouverIsland

As every gentleman of distinction will know, it's not the quantity, but the quality of what you've got that matters. Just 5 in/near the trap this morning, but what belters, including two new for garden species:

1) Alder Kitten
2) Marbled Brown

Also were this Muslin Moth and Yellow Barred Brindle. The fifth was a Brimstone moth (not shown)

1) The wondrous monster that is this beautiful Lime Hawk-moth

2) and 3) The googly-eyed, tongue-lolling Lunar Thorn

3) Micromoth Syndemis Musculana

Slightly better mothing last night. Usual April/May Quakers, Hebrew Characters and Early Grey, but also had:

1) Oak-tree pug
2) Eudonia Angustea -suspected (awaiting second opinion as these can be very tricky)
3) Spruce Carpet
