Amazon Flat Ground Beetle
An extremely elongated, ant-like ground beetle from Central American rainforests. Its narrow body and long mandibles make it look unlike any typical ground beetle.
Did You Know?
The genus Agra contains over 500 species of extraordinarily elongated tropical ground beetles, many described from single specimens and likely containing hundreds more undescribed species.
Birch Leafminer
An invasive European sawfly that mines inside birch leaves in North America. Heavy infestations cause extensive browning and premature leaf drop.
Did You Know?
Multiple generations per year cause increasingly severe browning through the growing season.
