Crematogaster cerasi
Cherry Acrobat Ant
Crematogaster cerasi is a species of acrobat ant in the tribe Crematogastrini, described by Asa Fitch in 1855. The species is distinguished by specific hair patterns and thoracic ridge characteristics. It is omnivorous, feeding on both animal and plant material. The common name 'Cherry Acrobat Ant' reflects its association with cherry trees and its characteristic behavior of raising its abdomen when disturbed.
Meleoma emuncta
Meleoma emuncta is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae, originally described by Fitch in 1855 as Chrysopa emuncta. It is one of approximately 20 species in the genus Meleoma, a group of lacewings characterized by distinctive wing venation patterns. The species occurs in North America, though detailed biological studies remain limited. Like other chrysopids, adults are likely predatory or nectar-feeding, but specific ecological roles have not been well documented.
