Atrusca unica is a species of cynipid gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. Like other gall wasps, it induces the formation of specialized plant structures called galls on its host plant. The genus Atrusca is known for producing colorful, prominent leaf galls on oaks (Quercus spp.). This species appears to be relatively well-documented with 227 observations on iNaturalist, suggesting it is not exceptionally rare, though specific details about its biology remain limited in the provided sources.
Axinopalpus vittatus
Axinopalpus vittatus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Hatch in 1949. The genus Axinopalpus belongs to the subtribe Dromiusina within the tribe Lebiini. The species is recorded from the United States, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in available sources.
Balclutha saltuella
Beardsley Leafhopper
Balclutha saltuella is a small leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, commonly known as the Beardsley Leafhopper. It belongs to the genus Balclutha, a group of microleafhoppers known for their diminutive size and often colorful patterning. The species was described by Kirschbaum in 1868 and has a documented distribution across parts of Europe and North Africa. Like other members of its tribe Macrostelini, it is associated with grassy and herbaceous vegetation.
Banacuniculus utilis
Banacuniculus utilis is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Figitidae (Hymenoptera). The genus Banacuniculus belongs to the Cynipoidea superfamily, a group of small wasps primarily known as parasitoids of other insects. Very little published information exists on the biology or ecology of this particular species.
Baris heterodoxa
flower weevil
Baris heterodoxa is a species of flower weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae, first described by H.C. Fall in 1902. The species is found in North America and belongs to the genus Baris, a group of weevils commonly associated with flowers. Very little is known about its specific biology, host associations, or ecological role.
Baryceros audax
Baryceros audax is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cresson in 1878. It belongs to a diverse group of parasitoid wasps characterized by their slender bodies and long antennae. As with most ichneumonids, this species is likely parasitoid, though specific host associations remain poorly documented. The genus Baryceros contains relatively obscure species with limited published biological information.
Bembidion commotum
Bembidion commotum is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Casey in 1918. It is native to North America, with confirmed records from Canada and the United States. As a member of the genus Bembidion, it belongs to a large and diverse group of small carabid beetles commonly found in moist habitats. The species is represented by relatively few observations in modern databases, suggesting it may be infrequently encountered or understudied.
Bittacomorphella jonesi
pygmy phantom crane fly
Bittacomorphella jonesi is a species of phantom crane fly in the family Ptychopteridae. It is commonly known as the pygmy phantom crane fly. The species was described by Johnson in 1905. It belongs to a genus characterized by distinctive flight behavior and morphology among Diptera.
Blissus occiduus
Western Chinch Bug
Blissus occiduus, the western chinch bug, is a phloem-feeding true bug (Hemiptera: Blissidae) that is a significant pest of warm-season turfgrasses, particularly buffalograss and zoysiagrass. The species exhibits strong host preference hierarchies, with buffalograss being the most preferred host followed by zoysiagrass, though it can survive and reproduce on a broad range of grasses including agronomic crops. Field studies have documented inconsistent control with neonicotinoid insecticides, with thiamethoxam showing particularly rapid degradation in buffalograss tissues compared to imidacloprid and clothianidin.
