Laguna Seca / Fort Ord - Bluish Green Hairstreak (Callophrys viridis)? Host plant is deerweed, as in photograph. No longer can be found in Bay area due to development (National Audubon Society - Field Guidebook to North American Butterflies)

Funnel webs are built by spiders of the family Agelenidae.

The web is aprx. four inches wide by six inches long. It is hanging against the wooden fence and is built between two paralel raised boards of the fence near the top.

I observed a housefly caught in the web. An adult spider crawled over to the fly, captured it, and dragged it back to its hiding place under a horizontal board at the top of the fence.

The wasp nest is hanging between the rafters of the overhang over the patio.

It is aprx. five inches long by five inches wide and tapers slightly. The entrance hole is aprx. 3/4 inch in diameter.

The nest appears to be made of paper strips. It is grayish-white in color.

No wasps have been seen going into, coming out of or around the nest at this time.

The wasp was caught between the screen door and the sliding glass door to my patio. I freed it. It flew off.

The was was aprx. .5 inch long. It had a black head and upper body. The wasp had black and yellow stripes around the width of the abdomen

I was walking west on the raised gravel pathway at aprx. 3:00 p.m.

The bobcat was crouched down in a chapparal area, about 30 feet from the pathway. It later stood, looked at me, then ran away.

The body was tannish color, with whitish-tan areas on its face, belly and rump. It had large ears and a very short tail.

At aprx. 11:00 p.m. on three consecutive nights, howling of coyotes could be heard.

The sound appeared to be made by at least three to four coyotes howling. The sound seemed to come from the wooded area (aprx. 100 feet) behind my condo.

At times, the howling was in unison; at other times, single coyotes howled.
