• Andrenosoma hesperium

  Golden-horned Chiselmouth

  Andrenosoma hesperium is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, subfamily Laphriinae. Described by Martin in 1966, this western North American species is one of six Andrenosoma species occurring in North America, with four species restricted to Texas, one to eastern North America (A. fulvicaudum), and A. hesperium occurring only in the western United States. Like other laphriine robber flies, its larvae are predators of wood-boring beetle larvae.

• Aradus laeviusculus

  Aradus laeviusculus is a near threatened flat bug (Hemiptera: Aradidae) that was considered extinct in Finland until its rediscovery in 1996. The species inhabits post-fire habitats, specifically burnt restoration sites. Recent records from Koli National Park in North Karelia, Eastern Finland, demonstrate its persistence in managed fire-maintained landscapes.
