Agrilus arcuatus
Agrilus arcuatus is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It was described by Thomas Say in 1825. The species occurs in North America, with records from Canada and the United States. It has been documented at light traps, though it is not known to be attracted to lights in large numbers.

Beech Borer
Agrilus obsoletoguttatus is a small metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, native to North America. It is among the smallest jewel beetle species utilized as prey by the specialist predatory wasp Cerceris fumipennis, which provisions its underground nests with paralyzed buprestid beetles. The species has been documented in nest caches containing up to 13 individuals, reflecting its small size relative to larger buprestid prey.

Arhopalus
burnt pine longhorn beetle (A. ferus), black pine sawyer (A. rusticus)
Arhopalus is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Spondylidinae: Asemini) distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, with several species introduced to the Southern Hemisphere as invasive pests of conifers. The genus comprises approximately 20 described species, with A. rusticus and A. ferus being the most extensively studied due to their economic importance. Species develop in dead or fire-damaged conifer wood, with some exhibiting strong attraction to burnt pine volatiles. Several species produce male-emitted aggregation-sex pheromones containing fuscumol and geranylacetone. Invasive populations in New Zealand, Australia, South America, and South Africa require monitoring at ports and sawmills for timber export compliance.

Carabidae
ground beetles
Carabidae is one of the largest families of beetles, comprising over 40,000 described species worldwide. Members are predominantly predatory, with elongated bodies, thread-like antennae, and prominent forward-directed mandibles. The family includes diverse forms from fast-running tiger beetles to flightless tyrant ground beetles, occupying nearly every terrestrial habitat. Many species serve as important biological control agents of agricultural pests.

Cicindelidia punctulata
Punctured Tiger Beetle
Cicindelidia punctulata, commonly known as the punctured tiger beetle, is one of the most widespread tiger beetle species in North America. The species exhibits notable geographic variation in coloration, with eastern populations typically showing dark brown coloration and western populations displaying greenish or bronze metallic hues. Two subspecies are recognized: the nominotypical C. p. punctulata in the east and C. p. chihuahuae in the west, with integrade populations occurring in intermediate zones. The species is exceptionally adaptable, occurring in diverse habitats from upland sand and clay sites to wet bottomlands, lawns, agricultural fields, and even urban environments such as sidewalks and parking lots.

Griburius
case-bearing leaf beetles
Griburius is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Cryptocephalinae. The genus contains approximately six described species in the United States, with additional species distributed throughout the Neotropical Region. A 2022 taxonomic revision revised nine species in the G. posticatus species group, transferred one species from Metallactus, proposed multiple synonymies, and described two new Brazilian species. Members of this genus are characterized by their case-bearing habit, where larvae construct protective cases from fecal material and shed skins.

Necrophila americana
American Carrion Beetle
Necrophila americana is a North American carrion beetle in the family Silphidae. Adults and larvae feed on decomposing animal flesh and also prey on fly larvae that compete for the same resources. Unlike burying beetles in the genus Nicrophorus, this species does not bury carcasses. Adults have been observed at sap flows on oak trees and in fermenting bait traps. The species has been documented in forensic entomology contexts due to its predictable association with decomposing remains.

Pacifastacus leniusculus
Signal Crayfish
The signal crayfish is a large North American freshwater crayfish introduced to Europe in the 1960s to replace declining native fisheries. It has become one of the most ecologically impactful invasive decapods in Europe, outcompeting native crayfish and serving as a carrier of crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci). The species establishes self-sustaining populations rapidly, with six age cohorts documented within a few years of introduction. It shows sex- and size-specific coloration patterns, with males displaying more saturated and brighter ventral claw surfaces than females, suggesting a role in intraspecific communication.

Parapediasia
Parapediasia is a genus of crambid moths established by Bleszynski in 1963. The genus comprises approximately twelve described species distributed primarily in the Americas. At least one species, Parapediasia teterrella, has been documented as invasive in East Asia. Adult emergence patterns have been studied in P. teterrella, showing seasonal progression in timing and consistent sex ratios.

Platycotis acutangula
Platycotis cf. acutangula is a treehopper species (family Membracidae) documented in dry-mesic oak-hickory forests of the Missouri Ozarks. The genus Platycotis is characterized by distinctive pronotal expansions that form various shapes and projections. This record represents a tentative identification (cf. = confer, meaning "compare with") based on morphological similarity to P. acutangula. Treehoppers in this genus are typically associated with oak species (Quercus), where they feed on phloem sap.

Pogonomyrmex tenuispinus
Pogonomyrmex tenuispinus is a species of harvester ant in the genus Pogonomyrmex. Like other members of this genus, it is a seed-collecting ant native to arid regions. The species was described by Auguste Forel in 1914. As a harvester ant, it likely participates in seed dispersal and ecosystem engineering through nest construction, though specific ecological studies for this species are limited.
