Synanthedon polygoni

Observation date: June 21, 2019
Date notes: Several specimens seen from 3:24 to 4:19pm.
Submitted by: Scott Burgess
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Several specimens nectaring on what I believe is Eriogonum compositum. Specimens observed over about an hour. Photos are of multiple specimens, but how many cannot easily be determined; I think there are three specimens likely represented here as the last two photos are of the same specimen.
