Another Mallo/Mega Musing - Mallophora fautrix
Fullerton Arboretum, Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
August 10, 2006
This time, I think it's mallophora. I went back to where I shot the first one and found what I think is another, abou 200 yards distant. I was able to get closer and approach the critter from several angles.
