Observation date: May 25, 2025
Submitted by: ezeemonee
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near Gaviota Peak fire road near headwaters of Arroyo Hondo. Sunny day in the 60’s F. Orange top side color in second pic is the ID point. This was on Golden Yarrow right next to a large patch of Scrub Oak so was wondering if it may be Gold Hunters Hairstreak but confirmed via color that its Hedgerow.
