Not confident need better pics will get them soon.
Sunning itself on trail just west of Kitsilano Yacht Club. Looks like the first observation in Vancouver - could have come over from Victoria via a boat at the yacht club? Bright green, thin, moving very quickly. Terrible photos but it was very fast.
Returned to check on these... many of the flowers are gone, maybe because of a recent mowing. Took me two passes before I saw this one.
Took one month before I finally saw it but definitely worth it!
