Asaphidion is a Holarctic genus of small ground beetles in the family Carabidae. The genus contains approximately 39 species, predominantly distributed across the Palaearctic region with limited representation in North America. Species are characterized by large eyes and diurnal activity patterns. Two native North American species, A. alaskanum and A. yukonense, are restricted to Arctic tundra environments, while the introduced A. curtum has established in the northeastern United States and adjacent Canadian maritime provinces.
Pseudomyrmex simplex
Simple Twig Ant
Pseudomyrmex simplex is a Neotropical ant species in the twig ant genus Pseudomyrmex, characterized by its slender, wasp-like body form and notably large compound eyes. The species inhabits tropical and subtropical regions of South America, where it forages arboreally on vegetation. Like other members of its genus, it exhibits an elongate morphology adapted for life among branches and twigs rather than ground-dwelling.
