Leptogaster flavipes
Yellow-legged Pixie
Leptogaster flavipes is a small robber fly in the family Asilidae, commonly known as the Yellow-legged Pixie. The species is distinguished by its notably slender body form and pale yellow legs, traits that set it apart from the generally more robust build typical of most robber flies. As a member of the genus Leptogaster, it exhibits the characteristic delicate morphology associated with this group of aerial predators. The species was described by Loew in 1862.
Stethorus utilis
Stethorus utilis is a minute lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae, measuring only 1–2 mm in length. It is characterized by a black body with yellow antennae, mouthparts, and legs. The species is known from the southeastern United States, with records from North Carolina to Florida and west to eastern Texas. Like other members of the genus Stethorus, it is likely a predator of small arthropods, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Sympetrum vicinum
Autumn Meadowhawk, Yellow-legged Meadowhawk
Sympetrum vicinum is a small dragonfly in the skimmer family Libellulidae, commonly known as the Autumn Meadowhawk or Yellow-legged Meadowhawk. Adults measure 26–35 mm in length and are distinguished by their yellow legs and late-season flight period. This species exhibits two disjunct populations in North America—one in the eastern United States and Canada, and another in the Pacific Northwest. It is notable for flying later into autumn than any other dragonfly species in its western range, with observations extending into November.
Zeros flavipes
Zeros flavipes is a species of shore fly in the family Ephydridae, described by Williston in 1896. As a member of the order Diptera, it possesses the characteristic single pair of wings and halteres typical of true flies. The specific epithet 'flavipes' refers to yellow legs, a trait that may aid in identification. Shore flies in this family are generally associated with moist or aquatic habitats, though specific ecological details for this species remain limited in available sources.
