Here again with a slew of more pollinator pics, this time an Acmon Blue Butterfly, commonly found near the coast on many of our native buckwheat plants!
Doing edits on the prospectus in between logging butterfly sightings…this is a field crescent
Logging in to drop some Gray Hairstreak photos before logging off again to focus on quals ✌️
Life comes at you fast, a year ago I was walking with my advisor to get my Master’s Degree and now I’m in the wetlands harvesting cattails. πŸ₯²

Just saw an incredibly special species today - the native Death Camas Mining Bee! These bees are the only bees to be able to tolerate the pollen of the highly poisonous death camas plant. #CaliforniaNativePlants
It’s absolutely insane that we have golden violets all over the fields here on campus! They’re so pretty. #CaliforniaNativePlants
