Have been watching this patch of milkweed since mid-August 2021. This is the first larva I’ve seen although an adult did fly by two days ago (dated 6 September 2021).

Large colony of probably several hundred very active ground-nesting bees at Bodega Head.

Sandy soil along the nature trail at Sand Springs Desert Study Area, Churchill County, Nevada, elev. 3920 ft.

Saw two individuals on showy milkweed.

The (incredibly small) documented population of this plant grew by a hundred yards or so this day.
