River Clubtail
A large clubtail dragonfly with yellow and black markings and a distinctly expanded abdomen tip. It breeds in large lowland rivers with sandy beds. Adults spend much time hanging in tree canopies.
Did You Know?
Adults spend most of their time high in riverside trees, only descending to water to breed, making them hard to observe.
Panzer's Nomad Bee
A wasp-mimicking cleptoparasitic bee that targets Andrena mining bee nests. Its bright red, yellow, and black coloring warns predators of its sting.
Did You Know?
It has lost all pollen-collecting structures because its larvae are fed entirely by stolen provisions from mining bee nests.
