vireosylvaDescription
My 20,000th observation and a lifer I could not have been more stoked to find! Absolutely one of the highlights of being in the eastern Sierras this summer for work. Instantly one of my new favorite species ever.

fallriskDescription
This is a whole pile of caterpillars or larva found on my milkweed this morning. I live near a farm and all the butterfly and moth eggs I have found this year have been infertile or deformed until I found these. Never seen them before. They don’t look all that healthy either. We don’t spray poison but something may have drifted over from the farm or it might be the weird humidity causing problems.

ipomopsisDescription
This is me somewhere at Stampede. My first spring and already studying wildlife. :)
The date is plus or minus 30 days. I'm just about positive of the location area radius as I have other pictures from that trip. Could be Mt. Lola or Carpenter Ridge in the background.
