Desert Subterranean Termite (?) or Stonefly (?) on Desert Dandelion in Inyo County outside Death Valley - Lasioglossum - Female
Red Hill, Fossil Falls Scenic Area, Inyo County, California, USA
March 20, 2016
Size: 1" ?
This was taken on a Desert Dandelion with 2 other bugs, one an Orange Nemognatha Blister Beetle. I am trying to identify the other two. In this request it is for the termite-looking insect on the top. Will include the whole flower in a separate file.
