| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "Color, pattern, and form of terminalia (especially the thin cerci of the light colored male at left)...as well as the apparent oak host plant...all indicate Timema californicum here, which has collection records listed from Mt Hamilton in Sandoval & Vickery (1996). See BugGuide info page for more info and detailed reference citations. Note that the smaller males are typically seen riding females in Timema, a behavior known as ""mate-guarding"". They can remain on the females for days on end. Also, while the green color morph is by far the most common form of T. californicum, lighter color morphs from yellowish-green to light-brown or tan also exist." |
