Ceratina calcarata
Spurred Ceratina
Ceratina calcarata is a small carpenter bee native to eastern North America, ranging from Georgia to Ontario and east to Nova Scotia. It exhibits facultative subsocial behavior, with mothers providing extended care to offspring and producing a distinctive worker-like "dwarf eldest daughter" that forages for siblings. This species has become an important model organism for studying the evolutionary origins of social behavior, being the first subsocial bee species to have its genome published.

Cyphomyrmex
fungus-growing ants
Cyphomyrmex is a genus of small, drab-colored fungus-growing ants in the tribe Attini, found primarily in the Neotropics. These ants cultivate fungi in the tribe Leucocoprineae as their primary food source, with most species growing fungal nodules rather than full mycelial gardens. Colonies are typically monogynous and small, rarely exceeding 500 workers. The genus is divided into two species complexes: the strigatus complex (South America only) and the rimosus complex (southern North America to South America). Cyphomyrmex represents a basal lineage among attine ants and serves as sister group to Mycetophylax.

Diadasia bituberculata
Bindweed Turret Bee, Bindweed Bee, Digger Bee, Chimney Bee
Diadasia bituberculata is a solitary ground-nesting bee in the family Apidae, commonly known as the bindweed turret bee. It is native to the western coast of North America, with its range extending from Oregon through California to Baja California, Mexico. The species is an obligate specialist pollinator of bindweed (morning glory), foraging almost exclusively on plants in the genus Convolvulus. Females construct distinctive soil turrets at nest entrances in flat, bare ground, provisioning underground cells with pollen for their offspring.

Disholcaspis prehensa
clasping twig gall wasp
Disholcaspis prehensa is a gall-inducing cynipid wasp native to California that induces distinctive galls on scrub oak and leather oak. The species exhibits heterogony, alternating between sexual and asexual generations that produce two morphologically different gall types. The asexual generation forms conspicuous mushroom-shaped twig galls with clasping bases, while the sexual generation produces small, hidden bud galls.

Geocoris black-calli-az
bigeyed bug
Geocoris black-calli-az is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae. Members of this genus are predatory insects recognized for their large, conspicuous eyes. The species has been documented in association with agricultural systems where Geocoris species serve as natural enemies of crop pests.

Harpalus affinis
Metallic Harpalus
Harpalus affinis is a ground beetle species native to the Palearctic region, with established introduced populations in North America and New Zealand. Adults measure 8.5–12 mm and display distinctive metallic bronze, green, or blue reflections on an otherwise black body. The species has been documented as part of beneficial ground beetle communities in agricultural systems, where it responds positively to reduced-tillage practices. Larval development spans approximately three months, with newly hatched larvae emerging in mid-May.

Harpalus herbivagus
Harpalus herbivagus is a ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, subfamily Harpalinae. First described by Thomas Say in 1823, this species is native to North America with documented occurrence in Canada and the United States. Like other members of the genus Harpalus, it is a ground-dwelling beetle typically found in terrestrial habitats. The species name 'herbivagus' suggests herbivorous or plant-associated feeding habits, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

Leptoglossus
leaf-footed bugs
Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family Coreidae, tribe Anisoscelini. Species are characterized by leaflike dilations of the hind tibia, a diagnostic trait of the genus. The genus is distributed throughout the Americas, with some introduced populations in Europe and Asia. Several species are economically significant agricultural pests, notably L. occidentalis, which has become invasive in multiple continents.

Staphylinoidea
Rove, Ant-like stone, and Carrion Beetles
Staphylinoidea is a large and diverse superfamily of beetles with worldwide distribution, encompassing approximately 58,000 described species across six families. Adults range from minute (Ptiliidae at 0.3 mm, the smallest non-parasitic insects) to moderately large (Staphylinidae up to 50 mm, Silphidae up to 45 mm). The superfamily is characterized by distinctive wing and abdominal morphology: hind wings lack accessory posterior ridges, medial loops, wedge cells, and apical hinges; the 8th abdominal segment is not fully invaginated within the 7th; and the head typically lacks a coronal suture. Larvae possess 3-segmented maxillary palps with distinct galea and lacinia, well-developed tergites and sternites, and annular or annular-biforous spiracles without epistomal lobes.
