Se encontraron varios organismos, forman parte de un proyecto sobre la fauna asociada a la fanerógama marina Halodule wrightii en Balandra.
Check out its weird way of moving in this video: https://flic.kr/p/PqGe2P
Found by @jeffgoddard. Same individual as: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/18597683
I was honored to be out tidepooling with Jeff that day :-) The audio captures our puzzlement and the fact that I saw another one earlier that day but was too busy hunting for nudibranchs to realize what I'd seen! :-O

夜行性動物,體色為濃栗色,在樹上打量我是誰,並發出聲音,有飛膜,台灣三種飛鼠之一。

聲音為短促的嘶吼聲,但不是很清楚,背景聲音是黃嘴角鴞。
Abandoned mine with Corynorhinus townsendii hosts, in mixed coniferous forest.
At UV over white sheet, roadside overlooking Artemisia Baccharis Salvia scrub.
SW exposed stone overhang at night, in Baccharis Salvia Malosma Ceanothus community above seasonal creek with Quercus.
??? Moth Lacewing ???
What is it?
1" +/- length. Clear Winged
striped / variegated body greenish body.
Thousands of individuals mating, flying, crawling in/around desert mountainside. No buzzing; just the sound of insects crawling/falling.
*No predators
3 mm
Imaging system photos except for photo 2 shot in ethanol (hence air bubbles under elytra in first photo). Several of these small brown beetles were found under a rock (en situ photos at end of photo series). Checked beneath lots of rocks this trip and didn't see these again.
From cultivated Ficus (microcarpa?) synconium. Associated with conspecific females and host Blastophaga.
Female from same fig:

I think this is one of the Pteromalidae that parasitize agaonids, possibly Idarnes.
Collected from some sort of mouse (Peromyscus?).
Locality and time are that of the rodent host.
Observation for the host: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/198379828
Would appreciate any help to further identify the host.
Holotype (CASIZ 182590), 33 mm long as shown here, on which Terry Gosliner based his 2010 description of this species (as Flabellina goddardi). I found it on a calm and bright overcast morning crawling in the open in a low intertidal pool at Tar Pits Reef. The 2nd image shows the egg mass, 14 mm in diameter, laid by this individual on 10 May 2008. The uncleaved zygotes averaged 65 microns in diameter, were packed one per capsule, and took 7 days at an average of 16 degrees C to develop into hatching planktotrophic veligers. The 3rd image shows, in right ventro-lateral view, one of the veligers just prior to hatching and with a shell 105 microns long.
Unlike most specimens of this species observed subtidally, individuals found intertidally vary in possession of white lines on the body and cephalic tentacles from completely absent (as in this specimen) to incomplete, to complete. With those white lines, subtidal specimens have occasionally been mistaken for Coryphella trilineata.
Found on Delairea odorata, successfully reared! The beautiful pupa and adult photos are by @graham_montgomery. Collected with @ethanxk and @onewithbirds.
