Comantella pacifica
Comantella pacifica is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Curran in 1926. It is one of four recognized species in the genus Comantella, which is characterized by unusual seasonal activity patterns and distinctive morphological features. The species is found in western North America from British Columbia south to Nevada and Utah. Adults are active in early spring and late fall, an unusual pattern among robber flies.
Erannis tiliaria
Linden Looper, Linden Looper Moth, Winter Moth
Erannis tiliaria, commonly known as the linden looper or winter moth, is a North American geometrid moth described by Harris in 1841. Adult males are active in late fall and possess wings with a 32–42 mm wingspan, while females are wingless. The species has a broad distribution across eastern and central North America.
Eucyrtopogon albibarbus
Eucyrtopogon albibarbus is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Curran in 1923. The genus Eucyrtopogon contains small to medium-sized predatory flies that can be confused with the related genus Comantella. Both genera share traits such as early spring and late fall adult activity, a humpbacked profile, and ground-perching behavior in open habitats.
