Observation date: November 10, 2025
Submitted by: ezeemonee
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found near patch of blooming Rabbitbrush plants in “Fossil Creek” tributary of Upper Sespe Creek. Sunny day in the 80’s F and elevation around 4000 Ft. Unusual thermal inversion with high temps in the mountains during November. I was thinking an off-season Gabb's Checkerspot, but in November, it must be a Mylitta Crescent.
