Lepinotus?

Deukmeijan Wilderness Park, Los Angeles County, California, USA
November 26, 2023

Found under a halfburied rock by the side of Cresenta View Trail. No other invertebrates were seen under that rock except a lavender thing which may have been a symphypleonan springtail (it got away before I could photograph).

Surroundings were sage scrub.

November 27, 2023

Found under half-buried rock on side of Dunsmore Canyon Trail. Surroundings were heavily insolated, dense sage scrub with almost no invasive flora.

This individual was dead and in a spiderweb. I tried to collect its corpse, but it crumbled apart to flakes in my hands.
