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.

Walls of concrete stairwell above beach after sunset.

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.

I...think this name fits the best, but don't really get how its Tapinoma. the original description mentions about the 4 gastral segents etc, but I don't really think thats that relevent as Technomyrmex also often have only 4 visible

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).
