Hi guys. I went to Sutherland Lake Dam (San Diego Co.) today and found followings in about 30 minutes. A. sara (common) N. antiopa (1) C. augustinus (1) Many...
Everyone: The coming season looks promising based on plant development. These butterflies were seen or collected in the southern Sierra in Upper Kern Canyon...
I went to Otay Mountain today to look for pupa of Callophrys thornei. Well in stead I was greeted with 12 adults (9 males and 3 females). What a shock. ...
Michael: This is an important record that is a California EARLY record and in addition is good evidence that this hairstreak has survived the fire. What did...
Kenn and all, First of all I am considering a talk at the LepSoc meeting in August on the status and how things are looking as well as where we go from here. ...

Thanks for the update Michael. I thought that you observed adults last year in areas where there were only immature cypress (1996 recovery zone)? These are...

"So just because the butterfly survived the fires does not mean it is completely out of the woods from possible extinction. The next fire may wipe out these...
To all, I can see this mountain/ wilderness area from my yard. It sits along the US/Mexican border southeast of San Diego, and a few miles from the ever ...
Yes Ron, these are freshly emerged butterflies. Some of My pictures show very clean markings. I would say they have been out at most three days. I will...
Lightning Strikes would be extremely rare for Otay Mountain and therefore not a factor. The major fire impact is due to migrants setting camps. I spoke with...

Brian makes an interesting point below: Michael, I have never gone out to look for this taxon so I can make no real judgments about the Otay terrain, but how...
"Lightning Strikes would be extremely rare for Otay Mountain and therefore not a factor." "Extremely rare" is not synonymous with "impossible". "The major fire...

Everyone, Don't want to veer from the topic too much, but since Otay Mountain is the topic and since it is so close to Tecate Peak I was wondering if anyone...
Hi Wayne, Of course, you are probably already aware that Tecate Peak has long been a documented historical collecting site for P. indra pergamus. Now, that ...
Wayne and Mark, The only collector I know of that has supposedly taken P. indra pergamus from Tecate Peak is Stan Dvorak. He told me over 10-15 years ago that...

Hey Mark, According to "Butterflies of Baja California", (Brown, Real, & Faulkner), P. indra pergamus is only known from a single chaparral hilltop east of...

Wow - that just seems difficult to believe. I'm anxious to hear if Wayne has a more recent update. Not only should pergamus be readily found in the chaparral...
Mark and all others; Tecate may have historically been a well-established pergamus hotspot, but it seems utterly not worth it now. An all-day treacherous hike...
Everyone, Looks like I didn't make my question clear in my earlier post. I was asking, or trying to ask, this: Since the historically well known Tecate Peak...

Hi Wayne, Yes, you're correct - I misunderstood your original request. I read it thus: "Hey, Tecate Peak is close to Otay Mountain - since you're down there,...
