Buckeyes Reach Northern Ontario

[Donald A. Davis]

Forwarded by Don Davis, Toronto, ON:

Coincidentally, on Friday (July 23rd), Rob Foster and I saw a fresh
Common
Buckeye on Tremblay Island (Lake Superior), south of St. Ignace Island,
Thunder Bay District, at 48*38'30", 88*04'20".

Also, on Wednesday (July 21st), while looking for Cicindela hirticollis
along the sand beaches at Shesheeb Bay on the Black Bay Peninsula (also
in
Thunder Bay Dist.), we found a single Pantala flavescens defending a
territory over a small beach pool. Unfortunately, I had only my
short-handled collapsible net and was unable to collect it.
