First Adela I've seen in the city. Dr. Jerry Powell looked at it and called it: " Female backs down into the inflorescence of Linanthus androsaceus to oviposit." This might be a county record.

All right, you gall fans! Hope you can help with an ID here. Location is Northern California. The gall was on Nerium oleander, one that seemed wild and growing along the waterfront. The only galls I've found that are similar in appearance are some made by Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. nerii (which I've used for an ID as a place to start). I have no idea if galls from that bacterium are even found in this area. But there's obviously something else that has used/caused the gall because there are exit holes. Ideas?

SO COOL. Even got to see it investigating a caterpillar.
Sticking my neck out all the way to species on this one as it seems to be a dead ringer for the photos on BugGuide: https://bugguide.net/node/view/83331/bgimage

Looks most similar to Rhodobaenus tredecimpunctatus, which apparently is the only Rhodobaenus to occur in California?

I was so surprised to see this Lizard eat the other Lizard. For one thing the prey was huge. For another it looked like it was the same species. I have posted the video here. https://youtu.be/ZeHOTLKp9WA

dswightDescripción
Shedding old skin. Features separating S.graciosus from S. occidentalis appear to be the dark bar on shoulder, shorter spines on scales on the back, some white blotching on throat. Second photo shows granular scales on rear thighs. I had been told they were at the top of Mount Diablo, but never really studied the differences before. I used Calherps.
