Coyote Ridge Butterfly Hike, 4/23/17 by Ronald Horii
Here's the description of this hike:
"Join us for a walk led by Liam O'Brien, an acclaimed Bay Area lepidopterist known for his San Franciscan Conservation projects (The Green Hairstreak Corridor, Mission Blue Restoration and Operation Checkerspot). He will guide us through this wildflower wonderland and discuss how the plants are used by these intriguing creatures. Native host plants for female egg-laying, behaviors like "hill-topping" and "mud-puddling" will be pointed out. Of special interest will be observing which serpentine endemics are being used as nectar sources. We might even glimpse the first Endangered Bay Checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha bayensis) of the season." Here's the Meetup listing for the hike: https://www.meetup.com/OSA-Hiking-Enthusiasts/events/237767819/
