Guides
Buprestis decora
Buprestis decora is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. The species was described by Fabricius in 1775 and is recognized as a valid taxon. It is distributed across the Caribbean Sea region and North America, with records spanning Nearctic, Neotropical, and Palearctic biogeographic realms. As a member of the genus Buprestis, it belongs to one of the most visually striking genera of jewel beetles, though specific details about its biology and appearance remain poorly documented in available sources.
Calopus
Calopus is a genus of beetles in the family Oedemeridae, subfamily Calopodinae. It was established by Fabricius in 1775. The genus belongs to the superfamily Tenebrionoidea within the suborder Polyphaga of Coleoptera. Species in this genus are commonly known as false blister beetles, reflecting their family-level characteristics.
Curtomerus flavus
Curtomerus Longhorned Beetle
Curtomerus flavus is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. The species is distributed across North, Central, and South America, as well as Pacific and Caribbean islands. It belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Callidiopini. Limited ecological and behavioral information is available for this species.
Cuterebra buccata
rabbit bot fly
Cuterebra buccata is a New World bot fly in the family Oestridae, commonly known as the rabbit bot fly. Adults are large, bumble bee-sized flies that lack functional mouthparts and do not feed. The species is host-specific to lagomorphs, particularly cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus). Larvae develop subcutaneously in warbles, feeding on host fluids rather than tissue. Adults are rarely encountered in the field and have short lifespans focused on reproduction.

Ichneumon ambulatorius is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Fabricius in 1775. As with most ichneumon wasps, it is a parasitoid, though specific host records for this species are not well documented in the available literature. The species has been recorded in western Canada, specifically from Alberta and Manitoba.
Tipula tricolor
Tipula tricolor is a Nearctic species of crane fly in the family Tipulidae, first described by Fabricius in 1775. It is distributed across much of eastern and central North America, from Canada south through the United States. As a member of the large genus Tipula, it shares the characteristic elongated body and extremely long legs typical of crane flies.
Xylotrechus colonus
rustic borer, rustic borer beetle
A medium-sized longhorn beetle in the tribe Clytini, known for its distinctive black elytra with variable grey bands and a sinuous yellow mark near the base. The species was described by Fabricius in 1775 and is common in eastern North American woodlands. Larvae are wood-borers in oak sapwood, while adults feed on nectar of composite flowers including goldenrod.
Zonitis
Zonitis is a genus of blister beetles in the family Meloidae, established by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. The genus belongs to the subfamily Nemognathinae, a group characterized by elongated, nectar-feeding mouthparts. Species of Zonitis are found in North America, with records from the southwestern United States and adjacent regions. Adults have been observed on flowers of various composite plants, particularly in arid and semi-arid habitats.
