Small, approximately 3/4 inch. Whitish, light yellow wings with two small black dots on each set of wings. Found hiding in leaves of similar color. The surrounding area was wooded, but the location had about 20% canopy cover. About 5 similar found in the area.

A very large maple tree which is 30 feet tall and there was only 1 in the area. It was full of green leaves that had the length of 3 1/2 inches long and 4 inches wide. It was located in a rocky forest terrain on a hill.

A small pink/orange flower, growing near a vernal pool. The flower in about 1/4" in diameter. It is growing in a cluster with many others, and it had a skinny green stalk with small green leaves. it has five petals.

The lilies were orange with brown spots. The pistol/stamen are bright green with brown pollen top. The flowers are about 3 inches in diameter. The stalks are long and green. It is located on a hillside near a creek. The plant is in dirt that is covered in leaves and other natural debris. The flowers are heavy enough that they hang upside down, probably from lack of support. It is in a shady spot with tall trees overhead. The trees were a mixture of bay and oak. I believe this flower to be a leopard lily.

The flower was red and prickly. The base of the flower is also prickly but green and purple. the stalk is long, purplish, and skinny. The leaves are many but small. The leaves are green but prickly and skinny. The base of the plant is green and thistle-like. The plant was found in rocky soil near a cliff/steep hill. There are boulders, dead plants, scraggly tough-looking plants surrounding. The plant is about 2 feet high and 2 feet in diameter. There are about 5 others in a 20 foot diameter.

Found between the edge of an oak forest and a Chaparral. When the species was observed it was sunny (approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit). When I touched the leaves of the plant, a non-sticky "sap" gave my fingers a citrus/ herb scent (the scent smelled like the taste of the new green tips of a Douglass fir). The flower grew in rocky/ arid soil on the edge of the trail and there was no shade or tree cover over the plant. There were approximately 20 -30 plants within an 5 foot by 5 foot area. As we continued our hike, I spotted more of the plant clustered together on the sides of the trail, on rocky hillsides, and in a grassland area. The flowers themselves are white in color. This flower has 3 petals on either side with spaces in between the petals, but when I observed other flowers they had petals all the way around the middle of the flower (with no spaces in between). The flower also has very small flowers (3 in the picture) located in the middle of the big flower. The stems of the flowers are red/brown in color and the leaves of the plant are light/medium green. The diameter of the flower was approximately 2 cm. On some of the flowers it looked like part of the flower had not bloomed yet (it was still budding) or had fallen off by though an indeterminate cause. The size, amount of budding, and amount of petals/small flowers varied with all the flowers on each individual plant. The height of each plant was approximately 1/2 -1 1/2 feet tall.

It was light yellow, really tiny eyes, small black marks between the front legs and white dots, approximately 3 1/2 in long, triangular head, big feelers.It was sunny. Found near the trails. The color of its body matched the color of its eyes.

This sprawling bush covers about 7 feet. It did not contain many berries. The biggest leaf was approximately 5 cm and the smallest leaf was approximately 2.5 cm in length. The bush was hugging the trail and in a pretty sunny spot.
