Tidepooling. Very exciting Halgerda-ish find under a rock! When I turned the rock over this critter did the usual thing of immediately heading at top speed for the other side of the rock, but on its way it happened to intersect a patch of little purple tunicates, which it hung out on for a while. I was suspicious it was eating them, and indeed it was! Last two photos show the before and after of the tunicate patch. Those photos are only 5 minutes apart, so it didn't take very long for it to take two whole pieces out of the tunicate pie.

These three wasps hatched unexpectedly in a vial containing an "empty" native California snail shell (Monadenia infumata ssp. infumata, Redwood Sideband), collected May 11, 2018 from Maring County, CA. They were only discovered in the vial just now, in 2024, but they're in surprisingly good shape. They might be a snail-parasitizing species or perhaps mama wasp just found a nice place to deposit eggs? Whatever you can suggest would be great, I'm curious.
The white stuff on them is probably Kleenex tissue; I was afraid of damaging them so I left it on. They probably never fed or bred, so they might make good (but dry) specimens if anyone is interested.
@sunanna_h @kschnei @matthias22 @hymenopterator @bdagley @bclaridge Let me know if you want them.
Native CA snail people, you might find this interesting too @tlawson @jannvendetti @pliffgrieff @cedric_lee @thomaseverest @oksnaillaboratory

no host plants close by. Really not sure this is Kopsiopsis, but its the only parasitic plant of this girth that I can think of

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.
