Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These are Becoming more common every year, Much easier to spot the Males in flight as they flash a dark deep orange yellow on the fly. Females like this one when landed or searching for the perfect spot to place there egg are possible to ID. The Dulce trees are getting very large, with lots of new growth for larvae. The branch tips will show sighs of missing leaves to indicate where the larvae are. Harder to find larvae now with the trees so tall. They also are using the pink Pom Pom in the area. My friend Ken Wilson has luck with pink fairy dusters as a host! Hope you are doing well my Friend, that grandson must be getting very big and active. Glad you are staying active! Stay well and Keep doing good work!
