The California dogface is not: it lives only in Central and Southern California, which is why the state named it its official insect in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is usually found in wooded parts of the Santa Ana Mountains, and it is particular about where it lives. Adults feed mainly on nectar from purple flowers, thistles especially. Eggs go only onto false indigo, and the caterpillars feed on that plant until they pupate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMales have yellow-orange forewings marked with black in a pattern that reads unmistakably as a dog's head in profile. Females skip the trick entirely — plain yellow with a single dark spot on each forewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy photographs are rare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNature photographers want this species and mostly do not get it. The dogface flies exceptionally fast and rarely holds still with its wings open. The reliable moment is while it is drinking nectar, which is brief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forever Stamp Center","offers":[{"title":"100 Stamps (5 Sheets)","offer_id":47100613984455,"sku":"ST19-49S-5","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Stamps (25 Sheets)","offer_id":47100614017223,"sku":"ST19-49S-25","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 Stamps (250 Sheets)","offer_id":47100614049991,"sku":"ST19-49S-50","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/6250\/4647\/files\/D6D37D75-BB21-1A37-2262-ADEA2E5FDC67-1-1-800x800_2a72de44-0e26-48fd-90a4-335f73cf360f.jpg?v=1788604406","url":"https:\/\/www.foreverstampcenter.com\/products\/not-forever-stamp-1-12-stamps-2019-california-dogface-butterfly-non-machinable-surcharge-first-class-rate","provider":"center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
