• Hypena scabra

  Green Cloverworm Moth, Black Snout, Green Cloverworm

  Hypena scabra, commonly known as the green cloverworm moth or black snout, is a moth in the family Erebidae. It is an abundant species across much of North America east of the Rocky Mountains, with multiple generations per year. The larvae are significant agricultural pests, particularly of soybeans and other legumes, though they feed on a wide variety of plants. Adults are active from early spring through late fall, or year-round in warmer regions.

• Neoclytus

  Neoclytus is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) comprising approximately 93 species native to the New World. Adults are small to medium-sized beetles (4-20 mm) with striking black-and-yellow or black-and-white banded patterns that provide wasp-mimicry protection. The genus is notable for male-produced aggregation pheromones that attract both sexes. Larvae are wood-borers primarily of dead, dying, or stressed hardwood trees, with several species frequently encountered emerging from stored firewood.
