Will continue to scour for better photos but this might be the best I've got. Peregrine caught the (bat?) pretty far west over the ocean. Not sure it will be identifiable. Screaming almost-fledgling for size reference

Bees (Epifamily Anthophila)Observer
lilyfultonDescription
Incredible bee aggregation! They were super active. Mostly males flying around right above the ground. Only a few females out and I didn't see any with pollen. Nests mostly covered with leaf litter. Hundreds of bees at least, in an area about 10 by 3 meters right by the stream.

reodellDescription
I don't know insect species, but the location of observation and the ecology (preference for Asclepias sp.) seems to fit. Observed here along Lockwood - San Ardo Road on the west side of Williams Hill. Pollinating Asclepias eriocarpa. About 50 individuals total observed on several Asclepias individuals. Numerous Pepsini sp (tarantula hawk) individuals observed pollinating the Asclepias also.

vnsankarDescription
the ssp. internationalis is likely a synonym of P. l. brevinasus but since it remains in the iNat taxonomy, I'm using it as it is the most accurate for this observation
