We usually saw them this time of year in MDO St. Park so I would assume we'd see them in the EF too. They're nocturnal so...there's that. We saw them in the morning by buildings that attracted them with lights.
Brother Dean, there needs to be a correction to your story. It was not a small moth you threw at me. You and our little brother went outside to a driveway lamp post, at night, that was covered with moths. Both of you cupped your hands and gathered moths and came in the house and released them in my face and hair. Of course that freaked me out, which was your plan most likely. It took me a while to like butterflies and now I love them because they are beautiful and they float when they fly. Moths on the other hand fly too erratically for me. I agree, there are some beautiful looking moths, from a distance and in books. I do love nature and animals but I don't think I will ever hold a moth. One more thing, my daughter made her own decision regarding moths. I love you Dean even though you tortured me 😂 ❤️
Great story. When should we see ceanothus moths in El Moro Elfin Forest?

I once found a cocoon in the EF, though.

I stand corrected. Although don't underestimate the power of a mother influencing their children in ways both visible and subtle!
Love ya
