Thinopinus larva - Thinopinus pictus
Ano Nuevo Beach State Preserve, San Mateo County, California, USA
August 1, 2009
I believe this is a larva of Thinopinus pictus.

PostScript 7/11/13: Didn't get the tail-end here (it was energetically squirming), but I added a 2nd image that shows the urogomphi.

Thanks for the Confirmation, Adam
Would have liked to get some more photos, but I was falling behind the group on a geology field trip to an area usually off limits to public access.
