Mount Diablo holds many wonders. I am just so happy you had a chance to see it. They acquired a lot of land yesterday , which will be preserved . .
Thanks Sergio! You have given me inspiration to focus on the smaller wonders of the natural world :)
Thanks Karen! These moths are so cool. Adarsha, yes, aren't they wild? Jemma, I meant Scott Loarie from iNaturalist. He coordinated the moth event last night and it was lots of fun. I'm visiting my sister in Palo Alto while I attend a Science conference at Google so it's a short trip!
Wow Yasser. I live in Concord. BTW do you mean Scott Hines?
I found one of these 2 months ago. Super cool, aren't they? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22659021
