...which one? I'm fairly convinced this is myrmeleontid, and not a "skinny dobsonfly" like I had originally thought. Scotoleon, Myrmeleon, and Brachynemurus all seem like options.
Observed at night in a mixed chaparral / grassland area in Oakland, CA, USA, along with many others. ~2-3 cm total body size.
Pretty sure it is a thrush, I'm thinking hermit thrush, perhaps it is a veery. The little guy was too fast for me to get a good photo, good camouflage too.
This bird was mainly on the ground. I saw it in late morning.
Found this cool moth by a house light around my apartment (location is just Oakland, not exactly where I found it). Think it might be an arctiid, but not sure yet.
