Brett Badeaux

Wash behind the Dripping Springs Campground, Aguanga
Riverside County, CA

Took a walk through this dry sandy wash from 11:30 to 1:00. Mid 70s sunny. Much Dudleya was found here so I will be returning next winter in hopes of finding Sonoran Blue. 1 unid Nymphalid either Mylitta Crescent or Gabb’s Checkerspot quickly flew by.
