Dichelotarsus puberulus
Dichelotarsus puberulus is a species of soldier beetle in the family Cantharidae, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1850. The species is recorded from multiple Canadian provinces, suggesting a boreal or transcontinental distribution pattern. Like other members of Cantharidae, it is likely associated with vegetation and flowering plants where adults feed on pollen and small insects. The genus Dichelotarsus is characterized by particular antennal and tarsal structures that distinguish it from related genera.
Dictyna longispina
Dictyna longispina is a small cribellate spider in the family Dictynidae, described by Emerton in 1888. The species is known from northeastern North America, where it constructs irregular, tangled webs to capture prey. Like other Dictyna species, it possesses a cribellum—a silk-producing organ that generates woolly, adhesive silk. The specific epithet 'longispina' refers to the elongated spines characteristic of this species.
Javesella discolor
Javesella discolor is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae, a group of small, plant-feeding insects in the order Hemiptera. The species was described by Boheman in 1847. Records indicate presence in northern and central Asian regions including Alaska and parts of Russia. As a member of Delphacidae, it possesses the characteristic features of this family including a movable spur on the hind tibia. The species is documented in natural history collections and citizen science observations, though detailed biological studies appear limited.
