October sun

  

Air temperatures reached ~65°F (~18°C) in Bodega Bay this afternoon (17 October 2022).  With just a short time outside, I noticed six species of butterflies, including this beautiful Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta).

Other species included Monarch (Danaus plexippus), Acmon Blue (Plebejus acmon), Cabbage White (Pieris rapae), Orange Sulphur (Colias eurytheme), and an unidentified lady (Vanessa sp.).

Looks like it's going to be even warmer during the next couple of days, so it won't be surprising to see more insect activity.
