Capilano University will host a new campus in Squamish with $48 million in funding from the provincial government.  The university announced Wednesday that it had purchased the former Quest University campus with an investment of $63.2 million after the private institution closed in April 2023. The 18-acre campus has about 12,200 square metres of existing infrastructure, which will host approximately 100 students when it opens in the spring of 2024. It's expected to serve more than 380 students in later years, according to a statement from the B.C. government.

Stonefly - Subfamily: Perlodinae

Not only did my dear friend out in Squamish send me pictures of a new order of insect, but he also sent me video of the specimen. This Stonefly was found at a highway bridge near Mamquam River, a great eagle-spotting location during the day if you don't mind the noise of traffic, and it seems a great location to find Stoneflies. Many external observations suggest that concrete bridges and artificial wood structures near flowing water are ideal places to find nocturnal Stoneflies emerging as adults (I tend to find Caddisflies instead). Moreover, they seem to be attracted to lights, and this individual certainly was, so much so it tumbled off the railing! Even after falling, it was very persistent! I'm very fascinated by how the legs become longer and thicker as you go down the body; likely an adaptation from the naiad stage, clinging to rocks. But now, above water, they can fly, but Stoneflies in general aren't strong fliers. This individual would have very great difficulty taking to the air with a broken wing. Hopefully chance smiles upon it to find food and/or mate. The former varies from specie to specie: some Stonefly adults will not eat while others will eat pollen or debris. In all cases, they do have chewing mouthparts, but it's interesting how only some choose to chew. This may be an adaptation centered on emergence time. Perhaps early spring emergent species focus on finding mates rather than focusing on food as pollen-rich flowers may be scarce.

Video was recorded on March 15, 2024 in Squamish with an iPhone X. As well, observe these river beauties carefully. With those long hind cerci and flattened bodies, a sudden glance may mistaken them for Earwigs.
