Bembix rugosa
Bembix rugosa is a species of sand wasp in the family Crabronidae, described by J. Parker in 1917. As a member of the genus Bembix, it shares the characteristic behaviors of solitary digger wasps that excavate burrows in sandy substrates and provision nests with paralyzed flies for their larvae. The species occurs in North America, though specific details about its biology and distribution remain limited compared to better-studied congeners such as Bembix americana.
Cucullia intermedia
Intermediate Hooded Owlet, Dusky Hooded Owlet, Intermediate Cucullia, Goldenrod Cutworm
Cucullia intermedia is a noctuid moth distributed across southern Canada and the northern United States, with western populations extending to California and eastern populations reaching Pennsylvania. The species exhibits two generations annually, with adults active from May through October. Larvae feed on leaves of trees and shrubs including birch, poplar, and willow, as well as flowers of Asteraceae such as Lactuca species.
Odontota dorsalis
locust leaf miner, locust leafminer
Odontota dorsalis, commonly known as the locust leaf miner, is a leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is native to North America and feeds primarily on black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and related species in the Fabaceae family. The beetle is known for producing distinctive 'scorched' damage on host trees, caused by both adult skeletonization and larval leaf mining. Two generations occur annually in most of its range.
Polygonia interrogationis
Question Mark, question mark butterfly
Polygonia interrogationis, commonly called the question mark butterfly, is a North American nymphalid butterfly recognized by the distinctive silver ?-shaped mark on the underside of its hindwing. Adults have a wingspan of 4.5–7.6 cm and exhibit cryptic coloration resembling a dead leaf when wings are closed. The species produces two generations annually, with adults active from May through September. Winter-form adults hibernate in sheltered locations and emerge in spring to reproduce.
Staphylus hayhurstii
Hayhurst's scallopwing
Hayhurst's scallopwing is a small skipper butterfly found across the eastern and central United States. Adults have a wingspan of 25–32 mm and are active from spring through late summer, with extended flight periods in southern regions. The species shows variable seasonality, with two generations in most of its range but year-round activity possible in Florida.
