Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Very warm. Unusual for this time of year. This tortoiseshell was very active but was the only one in the area. Went out the next day and couldn’t find any indication that there was some sort of irruption happening. This is a personal late record for me and I believe a late record for Mendocino County.

Coordinator notes: I don't keep early/late records for county so can't say. looks like the fires did not burn everything. I always like seeing California Tortoiseshells.
