Flexamia huroni
Huron River Leafhopper
Flexamia huroni is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Bess & Hamilton in 1999. It belongs to the genus Flexamia, a group of leafhoppers known for their specialized host plant associations with grasses. The species is named after the Huron River in Michigan, where it was first collected. Like other members of the genus, it likely exhibits strong ecological dependence on specific grass host plants.

mouse-like barklice
Lichenomima is a genus of psocopterans in the family Myopsocidae, commonly referred to as 'mouse-like barklice.' The genus was established by Enderlein in 1910 and contains more than 40 described species. These insects are part of the diverse barklice fauna associated with tree bark and lichen habitats.
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.

Matchstick Lichens, Ant-mimicking plant bugs
Pilophorus is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae, commonly known as matchstick lichens due to their distinctive upright, stalked fruiting bodies. The genus contains approximately 11 species with a widespread distribution, particularly in temperate regions. Some species occur in Arctic environments, including recently deglaciated zones. The genus name is also shared with a group of ant-mimetic plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae), but these are unrelated taxa.
