Chrysobothris dudleyaphaga
Chrysobothris dudleyaphaga is a jewel beetle species in the family Buprestidae, described by Westcott in 2007 from California and Baja California. It represents a significant host association discovery, being the first buprestid documented to feed on Dudleya species (Crassulaceae). This finding established that both larval and adult Buprestidae utilize hosts in the Crassulaceae plant family. The species was described with detailed biological notes in its original description.
Crematogaster pinicola
Pine Tree Acrobat Ant
Crematogaster pinicola is a species of ant in the genus Crematogaster, commonly known as the Pine Tree Acrobat Ant. The species name derives from Latin: 'pinus' (pine tree) and the suffix 'cola' (dweller), indicating its association with pine trees. The species was formally described by Deyrup and Cover in 2007.
