Very tiny aphid-like striped insect. - Prorastriopes coalingaensis - Female
Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California, USA
September 2, 2017
Size: Less than 1mm
While searching the lawn for what is biting my ankles, I found this. Sorry for the lousy photo, but I thought I could id it without putting it on the
guide. I will try to capture another one and take better shots. It has six legs, one visible right front in the photo, walking on a paper towel.
