Before I hit today’s topic I want to say that I was overwhelmed by the interest in my butterfly post-er and checklist. I’ve sent files to
everyone who requested one so please email me if you didn’t hear from me. May is a great month for butterflies, and just in case
you think you’re too far north, a few years ago an acquaintance recorded 17 species around Ralph River and Thelwood Creek from May 27-29. Weather was very hot at that time and Satyr Commas were so abundant that many were killed by trucks going back and forth to the mine.
All right, on to the Pea Birds. Ever hear about them? Neither had I until I did a presentation for the Quadra Island Garden Club on April 14. One of the members asked me if I knew what Pea Birds were. I was stumped but burst out laughing when she explained that they were actually Golden-crowned Sparrows. She called them Pea Birds because every year after she planted her peas they would move in and clean out here sprouting plants.
Not only was it a great story, but it also solved a mystery for me. A few years ago shortly after my wife planted her peas we were mystified when all the sprouting plants and seeds disappeared. I never made the connection with the sparrows, but it
made sense because it was the time that they were migrating through. A few Golden-crowned Sparrows winter on Vancouver Island, but the majority winters from Washington to California. During the spring large numbers pass through
Vancouver Island on the way to their breeding grounds in northern B.C., Yukon, and Alaska.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? You won’t get any argument from me if you choose the Sara’s Orangetip
butterfly. The Sara’s is a diminutive white angel adorned with apricot orange gauntlets at the tips of its dorsal wings. There is no prettier sight than a Sara’s fluttering over a grassy field in the spring sunshine.
See Island Birds on page 4.

Fear is in our genes. This is the argument presented by the theoretical psychologist, Dr. Nicholas Humphrey of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. In his studies on the evo-lution of intelligence and consciousness he advances the notion that we are inherently cautious as the result of a stressful and trau-matic history — a caution that continues to affect how we perceive the world and, there-fore, how we assess and respond to risk. Given the insights now provided by the sci-ence of epigenetics and the known influence of ancestral experience on subsequent gen-etic structure and expression, Humphrey’s notion about this embedded source of fear is convincingly credible.
“It is not so long,” he writes, “in terms of biological evolution, since our ancestors emerged from the terrible social and materi-al conditions of the late ice-ages. Humans who migrated from Africa to Europe were under almost constant threat of famine, ill-health and predation. The genetic memory of those dreadful years has left our species still burdened with anxieties that we can-not easily throw off. So, even today, we modern humans approach life defensively”
(NewScientist, “Placebos at Large”, Aug. 3/13). Indeed, only a few short centuries have passed since the civiliz-ing institutions of our current society have provided the law, order and security that are the basis of our social structure. In Humphrey’s words, “Our spe-cies has moved on. For many people alive today, the specific dangers that humans evolved to fear are much less present. Living conditions have gener-ally improved, interpersonal violence is on the wane, food supplies have become more reliable, disease less rampant, and so on.”
Despite these improved living conditions, however, the genetic memory of millen-nia of protracted anxiety still permeates much of what we think, do and feel. Or, in Humphrey’s summation, “We remain hostage in mind and body to ancient, ingrained fears.” This is why, as he explains, we surround ourselves with cautionary reminders. Warnings such as “Dangerous”,
“Flammable”, “Poisonous”, “Slippery When Wet” and other such advisories appear on signs and labels everywhere. They reinforce our reflexive response to fear.
But this reflexive response does not always work to our advantage. Our genetic mem-ory has over-sensitized us to be careful. “Left to follow our instincts,” Humphrey writes, “we tend to be much more cautious than we need be — indeed, more cautious than is
good for us.” Consider, for example, global warming
and its obvious remedy by reducing green-house gas emissions. When confronted with the option of changing our behaviour now to avoid a future threat, our reflexive inclin-ation is to maintain our immediate order and security. When confronted by the option of a relatively small but immediate econom-ic risk today versus a relatively large but delayed risk tomorrow, our survival instinct chooses the safety of the moment. The gen-
etic memory we have of bygone threats dis-poses us to prefer the comfort and security of a concrete present over the remote danger and fear of an abstract future. Any foresight-ed and preventative initiatives we undertake today must exercise enough conscious will-fulness to overcome the involuntary fear response learned in our long-ago history.
As with most human behaviour, however, the psychology is invariably more compli-cated than can be explained by a single dynamic. By examining the same informa-tion from a different perspective, Humphrey reaches another important insight about fear. If we are aware that our genetic mem-ory makes us too cautious — impairing, for example, our individual and collective abil-ity to adjust to new circumstances — then we are compelled to invent measures to overcome the debilitating influence of this fear. So, as Humphrey notes, “We rely on society to embolden us,” a function it per-forms effectively and ingeniously. “Though we may not recognize it, we are surrounded by symbols and rituals that help us escape from our protective shells.
See Grigg on page 4.
The Fear Factor: Caution in Our GenesShades of GreenRay Grigg

Grigg from page 2. These work by providing
archaic safety signals — evi-dence that we live in an environment with firm rules, family support, material and spiritual reserves. Such signals get through to us on elemental levels, offering us reassurance that we live in a nurturing environment where we can dare to give our best.”
The sense of security induced by these “archaic safe-ty signals” — rituals, ceremon-ies, religions, flags, anthems, weapons, monuments — is intended to counteract the debilitating effects of fear, to encourage confidence and risk. This is the opposing side of the cautionary dynamic. In an optimal balance of these opposing forces, the two should work together to pro-duce a society that is safe and comfortable yet also adaptive and inventive.
But such a balance of opposing forces is extreme-ly difficult to maintain in a functional manner. Where the genetic memory of fear pre-vails, the society is reluctant
to change and adapt to its new situation. Where the symbols, order and structures of secur-ity outweigh the cautionary impulse of fear, the result is an adventurous boldness and confidence that exceeds the boundaries of care, a reckless certainty and optimism that is disconnected from the realities of such threats as environ-mental limits. We seem to be living in the worst combina-tion of these two forces. One segment of society is afraid to adapt because of fear, while the other — rendered unaware of danger by an inflated sense of security — is proceeding as if nothing were amiss.
This unbalanced con-dition explains why — despite continual warn-ings from the world’s community of alarmed scientists — greenhouse gas emission continue to rise, setting new records year after year. Clean, non-carbon energies are being employed but their benefits are essen-
tially undone by the thrust of an economic, political and technological system that isn’t registering the impending dan-ger. Meanwhile, as the number of related and other serious environmental threats get too long to even list, we continue to function with a strange and fatal combination of debilitat-ing fear and boundless con-fidence. It’s a journey that’s confusing, euphoric and scary — with no escape.
Island Birds from page 1.While the attractive orange
and white dorsal wings are the most prominent feature of the Sara’s, the ventral wings are equally beautiful with their sublime greenish mar-bling around yellowish veins.
The Sara’s hibernates as a pupa, and it emerges as a butterfly once the spring temperatures consistently stay above 10 degrees. Usually the males appear first. They can be identified by the orange tips that extend to the black margin at the end of the wing tips. The females have yellowish-orange tips that are separated by a white band before the black margin. After mating the female lays her eggs singly on plants like mustards or cresses. The eggs
hatch in about four days and the larva devours the plant as it develops through its five instars (larval stages). The fifth instar climbs up a verti-cal stick and forms the pupa that hibernates through the summer, fall, and winter.
According to the distri-bution maps in Butterflies of BC the Sara’s has been recorded as far north as the Mt. Washington region. Keep your eyes open. It will be interesting to see if the range extends any further north.
The past few days were the hottest days of the year and perfect for butterflies. I’m sure you can guess what I was doing. Yes, my days were filled with Mourning Cloaks, Sara’s Orangetips, Green Commas,
Propertius Duskywings, Anise Swallowtails, Mylitta Crescents, Gray Hairstreaks, Western Elfins, Western Pine Elfins, and Oreas Commas. Best of all were the Oreas Commas because they eluded me all last year. The Oreas isn’t the prettiest butterfly, but it was a new one for me, and It’s always special when you discover a new one. I’m sure you will feel the same each time you add one to your list.
