Beautiful interplay of light and leaf. I’m trying to get the crop right, so here are a few options.
This Linyphiid (Neriene radiata, I think) caught a crane fly:
Some more Atanycolus, I think:
I believe that this is a tumbling flower beetle, Mordellistena trifasciata.
Another Mordellidae member, not sure which:
Hypsosinga, in Araneidae, most likely.
Probably an Oriental beetle, Anomala orientalis.
This is an Evaniidae wasp. If you think I was capable of identifying it by myself, you really don’t have any idea of my level of expertise! It was waggling its abdomen up and down the whole time. I don’t understand the behavior, but here’s what Wikipedia says:
“Evaniidae have the metasoma attached very high above the hind coxae on the propodeum, and the metasoma itself is quite small, with a long, one-segmented, tube-like petiole, and compressed laterally over most of its length (segments 2-8). The ovipositor is short and thin. When active, these wasps jerk the metasoma up and down constantly, as referenced in their common names.”
And here’s an explanation I was given: ‘Basically the abdomen is flat attached basically on the top of the back end of the thorax through a thin waist and looks like a little flag that they move up and down thus “ensign wasps”.‘
I think this Tenebrionid (darkling) beetle is a Haplandrus fulvipes. Xylopinus is another possibility.
Dolichopodidae, perhaps Condylostylus:
Battaristis nigratomella, in Gelichiidae.
Lovely Mutillid wasp female (aka velvet ant). Pseudomethoca cf simillima.
