You moth visit us for our celebration. On July 26 from 8–10 PM, our Entomology Department will be outside in search of the coolest critters at night!
🔦 Watch our scientists use "light-sheeting" to attract the specimens that you don't get to see so often—moths included. Click here for more details: https://buff.ly/467sKNX
🧐 Have you seen this snake? Herpetologists at The Nat are looking for the Baja California Ratsnake (Bogertophis rosaliae)—it’s the rarest snake in the entire United States.
Although it is documented along the entire length of the Baja California peninsula, it's known to science from just one individual in the United States and has never been photographed alive in California. The roadkilled specimen above was collected over 40 years ago, and we have it in our collection.
This species is elusive because it occurs in a remote corner of California that is rarely visited by people, and since it's a top predator, it occurs at low densities in the landscape.
But, why should we bother looking for it? Rediscovering this snake would be a huge win for establishing their continued status as part of the tremendous biodiversity of our region. Hunting for “white whales” like these is hard, but our scientists are patient and dedicated to the quest.
Happy ! 🐍

🔎 The Nat’s scientists have been surveying urban canyons in San Diego for wildlife—including plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds.
The wildlife surveys will tell us how these canyons contribute to conserving regional wildlife and how to better manage greenspaces to maximize benefits for nature and people.
Scientists have already found rare plants in many of our urban canyons, proof that these urban pockets of wildlife serve as refuges for all species. We’re excited to keep exploring our urban greenspaces!

A dedicated group of botanists from both the U.S. and Mexico (including curator of botany Jon Rebman) have embarked on an expedition to uncover rare plants in Baja California.
This remarkable cross-border collaboration is not just about unique flora, but also about fostering binational scientific partnerships. Together, they're exploring remote areas, sharing knowledge, and contributing to the conservation of rare plants.
Recently, the project has found several rare plants, including
📸 3. Sonoran false prairie-clover (Marina orcuttii),
📸 4. Little purple monkeyflower (Erythranthe purpurea)
📸 5. San Pedro Martir snake head (Castilleja ophiocephala)
📸 6. Braunton’s Baja California milkvetch (Astragalus brauntonii var. lativexillum).

This we are highlighting the least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus). This fascinating bird represents our mission region perfectly: it migrates back and forth from the tip of the Baja California peninsula to Southern California every year—a round trip of over 2,000 miles!
This adorable bird reaches no more than five inches in length, and feeds on insects like beetles, grasshoppers, moths, spiders, and caterpillars.
Although once abundant in California, the least Bell’s vireo is now endangered due to severe habitat loss and brood parasitism by the brown-headed cowbird
Brood parasitism in birds happens when a female lays an egg in the nest of another female or mated pair. The parasite female flies away and never sees her offspring. The host bird or birds are fooled into raising the foreign chick as their own! 🤯
In years where brown-headed cowbird populations are controlled, an increase in least Bell’s vireo nesting success is evident. Since its listing as an endangered species in the 80s, their populations have increased!

Our bat biologist, Drew Stokes, has been partnering with the San Diego Zoo Safari Park to document and create best practices around our native bats, which includes the building and installation of bat boxes at the park while bats are relocated from unfavorable roosting areas. With our help, the park has observed and identified a total of 12 species on the grounds. Bats are keystone species in ecosystems around the world, pollinating plants like cactus and agave, and controlling insects like mosquitos. There are lots of reasons to love native bats! #BatWeek #batweek2023 #InternationalBatWeek
