(Or King Phillip’s Cave, as it’s better known as.)
First nice warm weekend day of the year! Which means the first bug walk of the year.
Hymenoptera
Braconidae. Agathidinae (most likely) or Helconinae.
Nomada. It would be a better photo if they stopped moving for a second.
Diptera
I’m going to look in Anthomyiidae to start. (EDIT: or Muscidae)
Fungus gnat?
I’m not really sure, will need to take some time looking. (EDIT: Muscidae probably)
Lepidoptera
Spongy moth egg mass unfortunately 😦
Coleoptera
Ellychnia corrusca
Spiders
Mangora
Linyphiidae, but which one? Maybe Neriene radiata.
Little baby Leucauge venusta, I believe:
Naphrys pulex:
Lycosida, Gladicosa.
Cyclosa cf conica
No bugs
The background was the splatter of sunlight on leaf, judiciously spread like butter.
Not sure black and white works for this, but adding the photo anyway so I can stare at it for a while
