Green Lacewing on Blue Oak - Chrysoperla comanche

Green Lacewing on Blue Oak - Chrysoperla comanche
Stanislaus County, California, USA
September 1, 2013
I saw this lacewing fly towards and then land right near the galls on the blue oak below:



As mentioned in that post...it wasn't easy to take these photos: standing on a steep hard-packed but unstable bank, stretching upward with nothing to brace myself, and trying to hold the twig with the leaf seen here in one hand, while inching forward as close as I could to get a tight framing of this tiny lacewing. Glad I managed to avoid tumbling down the 40 foot slope :-)
