Shell about 10 mm long. Found two on sand under a low intertidal boulder. Very extensible, active, blade-shaped foot and tentaculate mantle covering most of the shell. I don't recall ever seeing this species before, and with that active, white-striped foot, it was eye-catching. The last image shows one of the specimens as found, at the entrance to a burrow of unknown origin, but possibly constructed by Neotrypaea biffari, which are frequent in the boulder field at Naples Point.
The long foot, long tentacles, and mantle covering most of the shell place this little cutie in the Galeommatoidea.
Robin Agarwal (@anudibranchmom) was with me in the field when I spotted these and got a great video clip of one using its foot to move step-wise: https://www.flickr.com/photos/30314434@N06/31128212317

Sadly, one of the last individual, if not the very last, before extinction. More info at My World of Bird Photography

Climbed out of exuviae this date and flew off after drying completely. Possibly originated from Blue-eyed darners that visited in August. Exuvia measured 4 cm. See similar observation set.

There are so many of these small guys in the back yard this summer and fall. Most were near the compost or Spruce trees.

屬 Kukulcania描述
I found this large spider in a tunnel shaped web that went into the ground. I carefully moved a rock that made one of the walls, causing the spider to emerge. I replaced the rock and spider after taking these photos.
Photo 8 shows a size comparison to my hand.
Fascinatingly, its front legs and pedipalps were iridescent.
Here's a link to what looks like an egg sac that I found within the spider's home: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146952174
Here's a link to another odd thing I found in the spider's home: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146952175

A beautiful red and cyan hopper looking insect on a leaf. Unfortunately, it looks like this is the only photo I saved. These are the natural colors.
Observed during a bird inventory for IPBio.

屬 Anagyrus觀察者
kneubaue描述
~1 mm black body with light to no color on legs. Long antennae with alternating black and white various shaped segments. On a Coreopsis tinctoria stem with what looked like a mealy bug which was ~3 mm. Ants were attempting to protect the larva. Bob Zuparko stated, "It could be A. californicus, but because there is such a plethora of species of the genus, including many undescribed taxa, I don't feel comfortable putting a species name to your beast based solely on these images. But let's call it: Anagyrus sp. nr. californicus."
