cottony cushion scale parasite? - Cryptochetum iceryae - Dominguez Gap Wetlands, Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA April 11, 2015
I believe this is an example of Cryptochetum iceryae, the Cottony Cushion Scale Parasite, an introduced biological control species and the only representative of its family in North America. This is the only good photo I have so far but I will try for better.
