Boxelder bugs, Boisea trivittatus, are familiar insects to most people. They are generally not noticed during summer, but often can become an issue when they try to move into homes during fall as they search for overwintering sites

These are pictures of a “Wheel Bug”. This particular Wheel Bug is a Nymph (immature). Once they become adults, they lose that bright orange color (adults are brownish-black).

This is a billbug, or curculionidae rhynchophorhinae. (I’m talking about the big bug. We’ll get to little bug standing on its head in a moment.) Billbugs are bad news for lawns. You must deal with them immediately upon sight, because billbug larvae eat the roots of turf,

The little critter doing a very passable Leonardo DiCaprio imitation from the bow of this billbug is a mite. I do not know if it has parasitized the billbug for sure, but I suspect it has not: mites frequently use beetles in a form of commensalism called phoresy. Commensalism is a form of symbiosis in which one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. Phoresy is a form of commensalism in which one species uses another for transportation.

AJ Reardon sends in this great picture of a “squishy worm” she photographed outside her apartment. Like me, AJ often has trouble identifying species, but will try to get as close as possible. She has narrowed this caterpillar down to some kind of “freaky larva thingie”. I just want to say that this is the best trial identification I have received to date.

Costa Rican amber

15. Like number 9 above, this is a large piece with a lot of animals in it. Very unusual to find animals is either blue or green - but 9 and 15 are an exception to the rule. This really does have a lot in it. It has winged termites, a planthopper, Homoptera, Fulgoridea, a wasp, 2 gnats, a fly and a large termite or similar bug (maybe a cricket). This weighs 40 grams. One small edge of this piece is rough (not polished).

This Dominican amber displays a beautiful and unbelievably preserved entire leaf from Hymenaea protea. The leaf is very impressive, and the amber it is in is great. The weight of this hunk is 63.1 grams. It is quite a handfull. This leaf must have fallen just as the resin was ozzing from the tree. The algarrobo tree that the leaf came from is extinct now, but there are current relatives in the tropics today. Fourteen species of Hymenaea trees are found today throught the Caribbean and South Amberica. In the Dominican Republic the trees are called algarrobo and the resin is call peruvia.
