There were many robust plants done flowering and with lots of seed pods. A few had remains of flowers at the top; this one appeared to be one of the last to have opened.

I detained this snake for a bit to get the photo. It responded by biting me. No surprise. They have very small and very sharp teeth, by the way. They are significantly more restless, and inclined to bite, than Lampropeltis Californiae/California King Snake.

Much of the iridescent blue color in this moth is on the body, as shown here in this photo of the underside.
In the coastal scrub vegetation just south of the Morro Bay estuary (near Shark's Inlet),

I am posting this photo partly in hopes of getting verification of species ID from someone in the know. Thanks in advance.
