Submitted by: ishaan2009
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was decently sunny, there were a few of these fluttering around on goldenrod and deerweed. It was spotted in the El Dorado Nature Reserve. Plus, what is a good place to find silkmoth cocoons in LA? I was thinking somewhere in the Los Angeles forest.
