But--did you find this in the Californian wild? If so, my ID would make 0 sense. These guys are an african species.

 
It could be one of both, looks a lot like the one The BeesKnees showed as well as a ghost ooth. I had gone to a bug fair and bought two cryptics and found that an ooth was on the stick in container so I couldn't ask breeder.

It's not a S. pretiosa ooth, they dry yellow and somewhat loose foamy. It looks like a ghost ooth to me.
