• Cicindela formosa rutilovirescens

  Mescalero Sand Tiger Beetle

  Cicindela formosa rutilovirescens is a sand dune endemic subspecies of tiger beetle restricted to the Mescalero Sands region of southeastern New Mexico and adjacent Texas. First described by Rumpp in 1986, it is distinguished from other C. formosa subspecies by its distinctive greenish-red to coppery coloration. The subspecies is active in late summer and fall, with adults running on open sandy surfaces. It is considered uncommon and patchily distributed within its restricted habitat range.

• Cynipoidea

  Gall Wasps and Allies

  Cynipoidea is a superfamily of small wasps comprising approximately 3,000 described species across seven extant families, with many undescribed species estimated. The group exhibits diverse life histories: while the family Cynipidae (gall wasps) are phytophagous and induce plant galls, the majority of species are parasitoids or hyperparasitoids of other insects. The superfamily is taxonomically challenging, with family-level identification historically difficult until the publication of a comprehensive illustrated key in 2020.

• Dielis tolteca

  Toltec scoliid wasp

  Dielis tolteca is a species of scoliid wasp native to western North America and Mesoamerica. The species is known to parasitize scarab beetle grubs, with females hunting underground hosts to provision their offspring. Adults have been observed feeding on flowering plants, particularly mustards (Brassicaceae) and goldenrods (Solidago). The species has been documented in McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado, where it is active as a spring-emerging species.

• Micromus variegatus

  Variegated Brown Lacewing, Brown Lacewing

  Micromus variegatus is a species of brown lacewing in the family Hemerobiidae, first described by Fabricius in 1793. It is one of the most widely recognized brown lacewing species, with its image being the most reused scientific image from Pensoft publications on Wikimedia Commons (over 6,500 uses across multiple languages). The species has a broad distribution spanning Europe, Northern Asia (excluding China), and North America. As a member of the Hemerobiidae, it belongs to a family of predatory insects commonly known as brown lacewings, which are closely related to green lacewings but generally smaller and more cryptically colored.

• Moneilema annulatum

  cactus beetle, ambulated cactus beetle

  Moneilema annulatum is a flightless cactus beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Thomas Say in 1824. Adults are found almost exclusively on opuntioid cacti (prickly pears and chollas), where they feed on plant tissues and flowers. Larvae tunnel within cactus stems, often causing visible damage in the form of hardened black exudate. The species occurs across western North America from the Great Plains to the Pacific coast.
