With Don Fraser; another -- and eminently successful -- search for flower moths, including a Bleeding Flower Moth in great condition.

The weather at the start was sunny and 71 degrees with a light breeze. We left at 1410.

Holy shit! Woo-hoo! Mind-boggling camoulflage!

With Don Fraser and John Reynolds; a successful chase of John's and my lifer Western Pygmy Blue; we saw several dozen. I photographed many plants to see what the blues were nectaring on, plus to learn Annual Sea-Blite (Suaeda maritima) so that I can look for this species in Pasco and Hernando counties.

The weather was sunny and 93 degrees ("feels like 101 degrees) with a breeze.
