I agree that by Huckett it runs to C. humilis.


Thanks very much, Nikita!

Obviously Huckett is pretty dated and we could have other introduced species here in California now. Is there anything else I can do to confirm the species ID? Also, this has to be a female with that telescoped ovipositor-looking structure at the tip of the abdomen, right?

Thanks again,
Ken
