Multiple females were observed on open sandy soil between Larrea and Ambrosia shrubs, during late morning.
The absence of pale appressed setae on the vertex and pronotum dorsum, combined with the pale setae of the legs match the description of T. williamsi in Krombein and Schuster 1957 well.

Trail in baccharis artemisia malosma shrubland with Quercus agrifolia.
Mating behavior:
Male bumped into female and rapidly grappled with her. This was followed by the male biting the female's genital plate region and massaging the area while walking with the motionless female and stopping for brief periods. After around 1 minute, the female began moving again, using palps to try and move away, while the male continued walking. The total process took around 2 minutes.

Several workers in stone crevices of SW exposed stone overhang at night, in Baccharis Salvia Malosma Ceanothus community above seasonal creek with Quercus.
The absence of a clear indent along the mesonotum, long propodeal spines, and ground dwelling habit lead me to believe these are T. morongo. I could be wrong though.

Reasonably sure this is a torymid. Swept from a large, fruiting fig tree. Maybe a parasitoid of Pleistodontes fig wasps? (many were also present). Potentially a couple different individuals in this series.

From compact leaf litter between stones in plant bed. Might be Anapistula secreta given the location. 5th image shows the four eyes nicely.

Идентификация предварительная, поскольку самец вида пока не описан. Мне не с чем сравнивать.
Это тот же паучок, что в этом наблюдении, но уже после линьки, взрослый. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/194731161

Under stone in litter, shallow slope under Quercus agrifola. An egg appears to be stuck near the flagellum.
Update: Dr. Monjaraz-Ruedas pointed out that the egg is too small for a schizomid, and is probably from a parasitoid.
Observation for the egg: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/160617888

Abundant on underside of coralline algae encrusted cobbles. Dark purple individuals were frequently observed clinging to translucent individuals, as shown in the second image. Not sure of this is some kind of courtship behavior.

If the small knob along the mesal palp surface is the palpgenu oncophysis (last image), this would be Parateneriffia based on Mirza et al. 2023 (https://doi.org/10.3390/ani13233736).
