Anisota manitobensis
Manitoba Oakworm Moth
Anisota manitobensis, the Manitoba oakworm moth, is a species of royal moth in the family Saturniidae. It is found in North America, primarily in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Early instar caterpillars are highly gregarious, feeding in groups on oak leaves.

Athysanella secunda
Athysanella secunda is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Blocker and Wesley in 1985. It belongs to the genus Athysanella, which comprises leafhoppers primarily associated with grassland habitats in North America. The species is documented from Saskatchewan, Canada, though detailed ecological and biological information remains limited in published literature.

Blissus occiduus
Western Chinch Bug
Blissus occiduus, the western chinch bug, is a phloem-feeding true bug (Hemiptera: Blissidae) that is a significant pest of warm-season turfgrasses, particularly buffalograss and zoysiagrass. The species exhibits strong host preference hierarchies, with buffalograss being the most preferred host followed by zoysiagrass, though it can survive and reproduce on a broad range of grasses including agronomic crops. Field studies have documented inconsistent control with neonicotinoid insecticides, with thiamethoxam showing particularly rapid degradation in buffalograss tissues compared to imidacloprid and clothianidin.

Cicindela limbata hyperborea
Hyperboreal Tiger Beetle
Cicindela limbata hyperborea is a northern subspecies of the sandy tiger beetle, distinguished by reduced white elytral maculations and smaller body size compared to other subspecies. These traits are interpreted as heat conservation adaptations for its far boreal climate. It occurs in open sand habitats within pine and poplar forests of northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and adjacent Northwest Territories, separated from other subspecies populations by significant distributional gaps. The fragmented distribution of C. limbata and its subspecies likely reflects historical climate changes that caused expansion and contraction of open sand habitats.

Cossonus pacificus
Cossonus pacificus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae, described by Van Dyke in 1916. It belongs to the genus Cossonus, a group of small weevils associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats. The species is documented from western North America, with records from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. Like other members of its genus, it likely inhabits moist, decaying woody substrates where fungal growth occurs.

It is a member of the genus Metachroma, which comprises small to medium-sized leaf beetles found primarily in North America. The species has been recorded in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Like other members of its family, it is associated with vegetation, though specific host plants and ecological details remain poorly documented.

Moneilema annulatum
cactus beetle, ambulated cactus beetle
Moneilema annulatum is a flightless cactus beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Thomas Say in 1824. Adults are found almost exclusively on opuntioid cacti (prickly pears and chollas), where they feed on plant tissues and flowers. Larvae tunnel within cactus stems, often causing visible damage in the form of hardened black exudate. The species occurs across western North America from the Great Plains to the Pacific coast.

Scymnus caurinus, commonly known as the northwestern lady beetle, is a species of dusky lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is a small predatory beetle native to western North America, with records from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. As a member of the genus Scymnus, it belongs to a group of lady beetles generally associated with aphid predation, though specific prey relationships for this species remain poorly documented. The species was described by Horn in 1895.

Sergiolus angustus
Sergiolus angustus is a ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae, native to western North America. Like other members of its genus, it exhibits bold coloration that may represent mimicry of velvet ants (Mutillidae). The species is medium-sized, diurnal, and nomadic, actively hunting rather than building webs to capture prey. It constructs silk retreats for molting, egg guarding, and overwintering.

Trieces integer
Trieces integer is a species of ichneumonid wasp described by Townes & Townes in 1959. The genus Trieces belongs to the family Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of parasitoid wasps. Very little published biological information exists for this species. The genus name Trieces derives from Greek, with 'tri-' meaning three and 'eces' likely referring to some morphological feature, though the specific meaning of 'integer' (Latin for 'whole' or 'intact') in this context is not documented in available sources.

Xysticus gulosus
Xysticus gulosus is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae, described by Keyserling in 1880. It belongs to the genus Xysticus, a diverse group of ground-dwelling ambush predators commonly known as ground crab spiders. The species is distributed across North America, with confirmed records from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Like other members of its genus, it likely employs a sit-and-wait hunting strategy, using its enlarged front legs to capture prey.
