PrivatBeskrivning
Location is private to protect sensitive species (including this one!) seen that day. Worn shells only - mostly on rocky outcrops on west side of Mohave River, probably the type locality (it's an old description, and the city has developed considerably since then).

Photo taken at night, low tide. Is this Mopalia lignosa or maybe M. kennerleyi?

TONS of these little guys on a tide line on the beach. Walked barefoot and had a bunch stuck in my feet; very, very sharp. There was a story of a kid falling into some krill larvae/babies? These reminded me of fiberglass; so perhaps sea butterflies? Quite lost on this one!

Moth is alive and well. Flew away after photos. This was some kind of defensive freeze after I grabbed it from the air. Dozens of these were flying in the Santa Ana River bottomlands, but none would land.

C. 4.5cm. Found in sand and dirt next to a sidewalk. From sand dredged offshore during construction activities. An exceptional find: this species lives offshore in clean sand, and is rarely seen.

It has it's home scar in a very deep cave that goes all the way through the Peninsula. It is only safe to enter during a negative tide.

I'm hoping that this could be a purple Wrinkled Purple... but I think it's most likely a Striped Dogwinkle
