Kern Primrose Sphinx Moth – FT (1980)

Restricted to two areas with known populations: Walker Basin, Kern County, and Carrizo Plains, San Luis Obispo County Inhabits wash areas (sandy soil) Adults emerge from pupae in Feb./March, mate, and lay eggs (and then die) Eggs hatch, young go through 5 instars, and pupate in May Require Plains Evening Primrose (Camissonia contorta epilobiodes) as food Fillaree (Erodium sp.) is a non-native invader that attracts moths to lay eggs, but larvae cannot eat this plant and starve

Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle - FT (1980)

Once thought to live throughout Central Valley, but now known only from lower Sacramento and upper San Joaquin valleys Found only on elderberry (Sambucus sp.) that have a girth of 15 – 65 cm Adults diurnal and active from mid-March to early June (late April – mid-May best) Adult males may only live a few days; females a few weeks Females lay eggs in crevices of bark: larvae burrow into the tree and eat for 1 – 2 yrs before pupating – emerge as adults Characteristic emergence holes best evidence of this species
