Raphidioptera  - male

Raphidioptera - Male
Palmdale , Los Angeles County, California, USA
May 4, 2014
Size: Unknown, around 9 mm.
My first image here on the guide, sorry it's a little blurry. It's definitly a raphidiopteran male. I'm thinking it's in the genera Agulla, but not 100% sure. Actually after doing some reaserch.. I'm almost certain it's Agulla, but can anyone identify the species?? We only have one species (Agulla bicolor) for the whole genus here.. but I know there are way more. They come from a dry scrub predominated mostly by California buckwheat (uhh, Erigonum.. californicum? I think..) if that helps.

Moved
Moved from Agulla.

Evidently, Alena is also a possibility in Southern CA. Moving back to family to be safe.

Sorry about the (unintentional) double move.
