Trachymela sloanei ? - Trachymela sloanei
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
May 15, 2010
Size: 9mm total length.
On the fourth day of Monterey Pine removal, after finding these on the first day, this guy on the second day, and this guy on the third day, I had the tree crew trim some of the Eucalyptus trees which overhang our driveway, and found several of these running about on the downed limbs. Looks to me like it is Trachymela sloanei.
