Kocakina
Intractable quaker moth (for sole species K. fidelis)
Kocakina is a monotypic genus of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae, established in 2006 to replace the preoccupied genus name Himella. The sole species, Kocakina fidelis (intractable quaker moth), is an early-spring flying moth of eastern North American dry woodlands. The caterpillar is known as the four-lined green fruitworm and feeds primarily on oak, elm, and flowering crabapple leaves.
Tipula ultima
crane fly
Tipula ultima is a species of large crane fly in the family Tipulidae. It was originally described as Tipula flavescens by Fabricius in 1805, but that name was preoccupied. Charles Howard Alexander proposed the replacement name ultima in 1915. The specific epithet refers to its late-season flight period; this species flies later in the year than most other crane flies. It is found across much of Canada and the United States.
