Epiblema
This taxon represents an undescribed or potentially new species within the genus Epiblema, a group of leafroller moths in the family Tortricidae. The informal designation "possibly-undescribed-s-fl" suggests it may be a distinct southern Florida population or form awaiting formal taxonomic description. Epiblema species are typically small moths with distinctive wing patterns, and their larvae often feed internally in plant stems or roots.
Kapala floridana
Kapala floridana is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Eucharitidae, originally described by Ashmead in 1885 as Thoracantha floridana. The genus Kapala comprises parasitoid wasps that are among the largest in their family, with species ranging from 3 to 9 mm in length. Members of this genus are presumed to parasitize the eggs of orthopterans, including grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids. The specific biology and host relationships of K. floridana remain poorly documented.
