In a meadow in mixed forest that includes Coast Redwood sections, at about 2100 feet. Very attractive to bees and to a Mylitta Crescent butterfly.

Very windy on the hill, so not many butterflies today. I only saw the upper wing once, and there was some orange and black patterning. The few butterflies I saw today wanted to keep their wings folded! This was small, about the size of a Mylitta Crescent.
