checkered beetles
Cymatodera is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae, tribe Tillinae, comprising at least 70 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropics and Nearctic regions. Species within this genus exhibit considerable morphological diversity, with several new species described recently from Mexico, Central America, and South America. Members are typically found in association with woody vegetation and are attracted to ultraviolet light.
Ecyrus
Ecyrus is a genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Pogonocherini. The genus was established by LeConte in 1852 and contains eight recognized species distributed in North America, primarily in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Adults are attracted to ultraviolet light.
Juriniopsis adusta
Juriniopsis adusta is a species of tachinid bristle fly found across North America. It is a common and widespread member of the family Tachinidae, frequently observed visiting flowers of Ericameria nauseosa (rubber rabbitbrush) in the western United States. The species is one of the most frequently encountered tachinids in this habitat, often appearing in large numbers during late summer and early fall. Its broad distribution spans from southern Canada through the United States and into Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.
Sarosesthes
Sarosesthes is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) containing a single described species, Sarosesthes fulminans. The genus is classified within the tribe Clytini, a group known for wood-boring larvae and often striking adult coloration. The sole species has been documented in eastern North America, where adults have been collected using fermenting bait traps and ultraviolet light traps.
