Aphis saniculae
Aphis saniculae is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, first described by Williams in 1911. The specific epithet 'saniculae' suggests an association with plants in the genus Sanicula (Apiaceae). Like other members of the genus Aphis, it is presumed to be a phloem-feeding insect. Very few observations of this species have been recorded, with only 7 documented observations on iNaturalist, indicating it is either rare, underreported, or restricted in distribution.

Flexamia huroni
Huron River Leafhopper
Flexamia huroni is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Bess & Hamilton in 1999. It belongs to the genus Flexamia, a group of leafhoppers known for their specialized host plant associations with grasses. The species is named after the Huron River in Michigan, where it was first collected. Like other members of the genus, it likely exhibits strong ecological dependence on specific grass host plants.

Hexatoma sculleni
Hexatoma sculleni is a crane fly species in the family Limoniidae, described by Charles Paul Alexander in 1943. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized crane flies characterized by reduced wing venation and relatively short legs compared to true crane flies (Tipulidae). The species is known from a limited geographic range in the western United States. Very few observations exist, suggesting it is either genuinely rare or underreported.

Zabrops flavipilis
Zabrops flavipilis is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, first described by Jones in 1907. The species is characterized by yellowish pile (setae), as indicated by its specific epithet "flavipilis" (Latin: flavus = yellow, pilus = hair). Very few observations exist—only 9 records on iNaturalist—suggesting it is either rare, locally distributed, or underreported. Like other Asilidae, it is presumed to be an aerial predator of other insects.
