Jepsonia, Nightshade, Bees and Scat Beetles


This morning I just could not resist stopping by the Nix Nature Center to take pictures of the Jepsonia, Nightshade and Scat Beetles that I had noticed on Monday (yesterday). Many of us LCF volunteers were put on alert for the Jepsonia sighting - for it is quite a rare flower for the canyon - Click on this link HERE to see the photos of Coast Jepsonia!

HERE are the new photos of nightshade, now forever in the NIOC Photo Database!

HERE are some photos of bees on beautiful California Encelia, right out in front of the Nix Nature Center.

And, to top things off, HERE are some lovely scat beetles, enjoying a yummy breakfast. They've been working at that piece of scat for quite a while now.
