I think this is correct. Size was certainly correct and I saw several other fresh specimens of this species. Still, this is a very strange colour "aberration", melanistic on the dorsum and different on the underside. I do wonder whether anyone has seen anything similar.

Grassland (presumably seasonal ranchland?) without any shrubs. Seen flying in association with areas with Eriogonum heracleoides.

C. sheridanii has been reported from the Princeton area since early April. Now that the calendar has switched to May, I guess C. affinis is also a possibility, but the spring weather has been extremely cool this year, so the flight seasons are likely behind average, not ahead.

Ludicrous record but makes sense given the past 11C weather. Snowy as hell and flew out in front of @kaiden and I. Habitat pic and field sketch. Brown body with pale yellow outer wings, nothing else it could have been. Chased to get a photo but we were unsuccessful.

@aiva @thyggen thanks for the memo about incidentals / field sketches, I hope you’re proud of yourselves
