Silba fumosa
Brisbane, San Mateo County, California, USA
June 22, 2020
Observed on an aphid-infested kale plant. It was ID'ed on iNaturalist as Silba formosa. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/50615328.

Per Iain MacGowan, this is "an introduced Palearctic species that seems to be well established in California."

Silba fumosa
Yes this is Silba fumosa which is established in the San Franciso area. I have examined specimens from San Jose in May 2020.
