Always a pleasure to see

Found by Staff on Maintenance Yard Gate. "hung" around for almost a week returning to the gate near a mosquitos trap..

Not sure if it's an insect gull or a fungus. Host plant is some sort of rabbitbush. Found it lots of places within 4 mile radius.

Hundreds of these plants after the Blue Cut fire. They were everywhere this spring en masse.

Large plant growing under a Ceanothus. Several normal sized blooms that have already expired. Healthy plant. Only one seen on the trail.

Found on the underside of a wooden board that had been lying on the ground for a while.
