Coleoptera
I have a tough time with beetles that look like this. Maybe Podabrus?
Tachinus fimbriatus, in Staphylinidae
Another rove beetle, “compare with Oxyporus quinquemaculata”
Scirtes cf tibialis, in Scirtidae
Lucidota atra in Lampyridae? EDIT: Plateros in Lycidae suggested instead. Perhaps the distinguishing feature is the absence of a carina (keel) on the pronotum.
Isomira cf sericea, in Tenebrionidae.
Probably Elonus basilis in Aderidae
“I would tentatively place it in Elonus basalis based on coloration, locality, and whitish elytral pubescence.”
Hymenoptera
An Ichneumonid that is so amenable to pose for the camera, deserves a better and closer identification. Note the “horsehead” cell in the wing.
Another Ichneumonid?
Hemiptera
Adorable Fulgorid planthopper nymph
Psocoptera
(Barklouses)
Polypsocus corruptus
Again, Polypsocus cf corruptus
Diptera
These Syrphid flies aka hover flies were all over the place! Temnostoma cf balyras complex, see below
Hover Flies (Syrphidae) » Eristalinae » Milesiini » Temnostomina » Temnostoma » balyras, barberi, obscurum, or trifasciatum (Temnostoma balyras, barberi, obscurum, or trifasciatum)
Such an elegant fly
Spiders
Dimorphic jumping spider, Maevia inclemens, at home
Anyphaenidae:
The Leucauge venusta were everywhere, of course. Always nice to see the hairs on the femur of the fourth leg.
A better view:
This is probably Pityohyphantes in Linyphiidae
Acariformes
Anystis in Anystidae?
Fungus
No bugs
a little wild
