Observation date: June 23, 2015
Submitted by: Josiah Gilbert
Specimen type: Photograph
Collection location: Josiah Gilbert (personal collection)
Observation notes: Common (12-16), but very locally so, at the summit of the road (elev. about 1500') where it crosses the coastal divide. They were all in a small grassy area (about a quarter of an acre) near the summit, none were seen anywhere else on the road. This was the only female I collected.
