webspinner female? - Haploembia solieri

webspinner female? - Haploembia solieri
Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA
March 28, 2009
Size: about 1 cm
A couple of weeks after finding my first webspinner, I stumbled across this thing. I first thought it might be a beetle larva of some kind, but after looking at the photos on the computer and seeing the enlarged tarsi, I think this might be a female webspinner. If so, any idea as to the species?

Haploembia solieri (Rambur, 1842)
This is either a female or an immature of Haploembia solieri which is relatively easily identified by the lobster-like maculations on the body and those on the head that sometimes resemble flames.

It is great to have your assistance...
...in identifying this fascinating order of insects. Thank you for taking the time! (I just took a quick peek at your website which looks quite interesting. I've bookmarked it for more in-depth browsing later...)
