Paraidemona species-a
Paraidemona species-a is a grasshopper in the family Acrididae, recorded as prey for the sphecid wasp Prionyx thomae. The genus Paraidemona belongs to the order Orthoptera, a group of herbivorous insects commonly known as grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts. This particular species designation ('species-a') suggests it may be an undescribed or provisionally identified taxon.
Paraphlepsius incisus
Paraphlepsius incisus is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1892. The species has been documented as a prey item of the digger wasp Clitemnestra bipunctata, which paralyzes adult leafhoppers to provision underground nest cells. Distribution records indicate presence in the north-central and northeastern United States.
