• Cucujus clavipes

  Red Flat Bark Beetle, Flat Bark Beetle

  Cucujus clavipes, the red flat bark beetle, is a saproxylic beetle distributed across North America with two recognized subspecies: C. c. clavipes in the east and C. c. puniceus in the west. The species is notable for extreme cold tolerance, particularly in the western subspecies whose larvae can survive temperatures down to -100°C through deep supercooling and vitrification. Adults are active primarily in spring and summer and are found under bark of dead hardwood trees.

• Epiblema

  Epiblema is a genus of tortricid moths in the tribe Eucosmini, with approximately 100 described species distributed primarily in the Holarctic region. Several species have been extensively studied for their ecological interactions, including parasitoid relationships and cryoprotective adaptations for overwintering. Some species, notably E. strenuana (ragweed borer) and E. minutana, have been investigated as biological control agents for invasive Asteraceae weeds, though taxonomic revisions have clarified their distinct status. The genus exhibits diverse larval feeding habits, with some species boring into plant stems or forming galls.

• Exapion ulicis

  Gorse Seed Weevil

  Exapion ulicis is a small seed-feeding weevil specialized on gorse (Ulex europaeus). Adults are light gray with a prominent snout roughly half the body length. The species is native to western Europe and has been introduced to New Zealand, California, Hawaii, and other regions as a biological control agent targeting invasive gorse populations. Larval feeding destroys seeds within pods, reducing plant spread, while adult feeding on stems and spines causes minor damage.

• Megabruchidius

  Megabruchidius is a genus of seed beetles in the subfamily Bruchinae (Chrysomelidae), established by Borowiec in 1984. The genus comprises Asian species that have become invasive in Europe, North America, South America, and South Africa. At least two species are well-documented: M. dorsalis and M. tonkineus, both specialized feeders on seeds of Gleditsia (honey locusts) and related Caesalpinioideae legumes. These beetles complete their entire larval development inside seeds, emerging as adults through exit holes. The genus has attracted significant research attention due to its economic impact as a pest of ornamental and forestry trees, its expanding host range in introduced regions, and its potential use as a biological control agent for invasive honey locust.

• Oreoneta

  A genus of dwarf spiders (family Linyphiidae) established in 1894, comprising approximately 30 species distributed across cold-temperate and Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species inhabit high-latitude or high-altitude environments. The genus was revised extensively by Saaristo & Marusik in 2004, resulting in numerous new species descriptions.

• Stictocephala stimulea

  Stictocephala stimulea is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1914. Treehoppers in this genus are characterized by their enlarged, often ornate pronotum that extends over the body like a helmet or thorn. The specific epithet 'stimulea' suggests possible resemblance to or association with stinging organisms, though this refers to appearance rather than actual sting. Like other membracids, this species likely feeds on plant phloem sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
