Iron Cross Beetle high above Owens Valley - Tegrodera latecincta - Male
Above Seven Pines, on Onion Valley Road, east of Independence, Inyo County, California, USA
August 2, 2016
Found feeding on Eriastrum densifolium ssp. austromontanum fairly high above the Owens Valley (along Onion Valley Road a few hundred feet above Seven Pines Campground, which is at ~6400'). The habitat was fairly open scrub, with very widely scattered piñon pines and associates as listed in the collection record here (by veteran botanist Tim Thomas, who is also a BugGuide contributor:-).
