At the entrance of a Cliff-Swallow nest under the eaves of a building in the Palo Alto Baylands. Adult and nestling swallows were active in nearby nests, but this one is currently occupied by a Pacific Gopher Snake.

Eggs are visible.

The ventral view in the second photo is courtesy of a spider that had caught the bug in its web.

Photo is an actual photo of live insect taken by me at the time listed 2023-10-01 16:43:29 at OAK airport arrival terminal for southwest flight (SWA3845) from Baltimore. It was found alive on a passenger inside the airplane while landing, captured, and euthanized in the airport terminal. All details (ie coordinates, time of photo) are exact. No other individuals were seen but a detailed search of fuselage was not performed by poster.
