Phryganidia? - Phryganidia californica
Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Headquarters area, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
April 24, 2011
6 weeks earlier I had one with the same markings, but a black face

but it was moving.
This one was frozen in place.
Some of the folk here are excellent, do you know which parasitic wasp might have paralyzed this? :-)
