Observation notes: Near McGill Camp Trail on North face of Mt Pinos. Partly cloudy day in the 70’s F. 7000+ feet elevation. Guessing by flight time of year, this should be Acmon. Sulphur Buckwheat, Naked Buckwheat, and Wright’s Buckwheat growing in the vicinity but didn't see the I. chlorina flying anymore and no California Buckwheat in the area.
