A native moth, the chocolate looper should have been outside feeding from one of our native plants. We found two and released both back into the night.


Western fence lizards are a boon to the garden. Find out why they are Superheros.
We’ll be watching for this little guy as he grows up.

Allen's and Anna's hummingbirds race to visit the nectar feeders one more time before bed and the hooded oriole has returned for a late snack. (See the Allen's hummingbird family)
As the evening sky darkens, two big brown bats swoop and circle through the streetlight glow, snacking on a variety of insects. Bat Video.
Bats consume mosquitoes and moths and other insects all night long. Perhaps that’s why the chocolate loopers took refuge in the house.

Seeing more of the usually more hidden animals out in public spaces, too -- a coyote crossing De Soto from Pierce college to a business park across the street at 1:30 a.m., and a doe and fawn in the Sepulveda Pass at the height of rush hour.

Moths and lizards.
