More hirtocculata - Odontomyia hirtocculata - Female
Baylands Nature Preserve, Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California, USA
September 24, 2017
Pilose eyes here not as conspicuous as in those in the photos taken a week earlier at the same locale...see thumbnail below:

   

This one was on flowers of coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis).

Abdominal marking very much like those of O. arcuata.
