Howdy, BugFans,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that summer has arrived with a vengeance, it\u2019s time to take a quick look back at some spring bug experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bumble
Bumble bee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BUMBLE BEE ON PINK LADY\u2019S SLIPPER \u2013 A website about Wisconsin\u2019s native orchids lists \u201cna\u00efve bumble bees<\/em>\u201d as pollinators.\u00a0Naive bumble bees.\u00a0Lady\u2019s slipper orchids do not offer a nectar reward to foraging insects, but it takes a few visits to the orchids before a bee figures that out and looks elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fire
Fire colored beetle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FIRE-COLORED BEETLE, in the family Pyrochroidae (which means \u201cfire color\u201d) seems like an odd name for a mostly-black beetle, but some members of the family are, and many of the others have that nice, red thorax<\/a>.\u00a0The BugLady saw it from afar, sitting on the tip of a skunk cabbage leaf – she\u2019s been accused of using her zoom lens as binoculars, and she pleads guilty.\u00a0This contributor<\/a> to\u00a0bugguide.net<\/a>\u00a0got a far better picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thinks this is\u00a0Schizotus cervicalis<\/em>, who goes by the awesome name of Flaming pillow beetle (because of the males\u2019 puffy, red thorax).\u00a0Fire-colored beetles have an interesting relationship with Blister beetles, which is explained in a BOTW about a related Fire-colored beetle<\/a> in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dark
Dark Fishing Spider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DARK FISHING SPIDERS are big (leg-spread up to 3\u201d), long-legged spiders that really get people\u2019s attention. This one, found in late May, was about half-grown and was in the process of regenerating a leg.\u00a0Its ability to regrow legs depends on age and molting.\u00a0The small, new leg emerges after a molt and grows after each subsequent molt, but most spiders don\u2019t molt after they become adults, so the new leg might not fully develop.\u00a0Spiders can generally get along just fine despite a missing leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Duskywing\"
Duskywing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

JUVENILE\u2019S DUSKYWING \u2013 Duskywings are skippers (family Hesperiidae) and skippers are butterflies (though some sources still call them \u201cbutterfly-like\u201d), although at one time they were considered a transition group between butterflies and moths.\u00a0Skippers tend to have large, chunky, hairy bodies in proportion to their short wings, and they have a tiny, \u201ccrochet hook\u201d at the tip of their antennae.\u00a0They get their name from their quick, bouncy flight.\u00a0The Juvenile\u2019s Duskywing is an early season butterfly that likes to perch on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Northern
Northern Paper Wasp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NORTHERN PAPER WASPS<\/a> are the wasps that tuck disk-shaped, open-faced nests up under the eaves.\u00a0Most are yellow and black (Nature\u2019s warning colors) but some are reddish<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stag
Stag Beetle <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

STAG BEETLES (Lucanus placidus<\/em>) emerge from their underground pupal cases in late spring.\u00a0Adults live only a few weeks and are said to feed on flower nectar (the BugLady would like to see that) and on tree sap, and the larvae feed on decaying trees and roots (they don\u2019t kill the trees, but they help to dispose of them).\u00a0Read about one man\u2019s encounter with these lunker (1 \u00bd\u201d) beetles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACANTHOCEPHALA TERMINALIS<\/em>\u00a0(no common name) is a leaf-footed bug that can be seen over several generations from late spring through early fall, though the BugLady has never seen one this large in mid-May.\u00a0The flanges on its hind legs explain the \u201cleaf-footed\u201d part of its name, and its species name –\u00a0terminalis<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 refers to the golden tips of its antennae.\u00a0It is in the True Bug order Hemiptera, and though it\u2019s not officially a Stink bug, it can deploy a smelly chemical when threatened (though it would rather fly than fight).\u00a0This is the only genus member here in God\u2019s Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Acanthocephala
Acanthocephala Terminalis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Their nymphs <\/a>are pretty cute, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRAB SPIDER ON VIOLET \u2013 The BugLady was surprised to see an adult Goldenrod crab spider decorating a violet in the first week of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mourning
Mourning Cloaks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there butterflies?\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOURNING CLOAKS are, for butterflies, very long-lived – when you see one in May, it\u2019s about 10 months old and at the end of its trail.\u00a0One of the few butterfly species that overwinter as adults, Mourning Cloaks are often seen during January thaws and maple sap season (they tuck themselves back into a sheltered spot when the cold returns), and they\u2019re an early butterfly in the woods in spring.\u00a0How do they do it? They\u2019ve got a lot of insulating hairs; they use isometric exercises to warm the flight muscles in their thorax, and they count on tree sap and rotting fruit for food, rather than flowers. It will mate, lay eggs, and die, and its caterpillars will eat, metamorphose, and fly for a while, but then it will aestivate (become dormant) to avoid the wear and tear of summer before returning to the air to finish out the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hobomok
Hobomok Skippers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

HOBOMOK SKIPPERS are the first of the skippers to hit the airways, appearing in sunny clearings and edges as the wild geranium starts to bloom.\u00a0They\u2019re on the wing before the BugLady develops her annual case of \u201cSkipper Brain\u201d \u2013 for a brief time, she is (almost) positive of her skipper IDs.\u00a0Hobomok Skippers are part of a series of butterflies named by Thaddeus W. Harris and others after Native American chiefs. Hobomok was the \u201cchief of the Wampanoag Indians, who helped the Pilgrims upon their landing in Plymouth in 1621.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ebony
Ebony Jewelwing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And were there dragons and damsels? Oh, you bet, though the dragonfly season has gotten off to a very slow start!\u00a0The majority of invertebrates that the BugLady\u2019s camera finds are dragons and damsels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EBONY JEWELWING \u2013 What would a spring report be without a spectacular male Ebony Jewelwing?\u00a0Along with very showy rubyspots<\/a>. jewelwings are in the Broad-winged damselfly family Calopterygidae (\u201cbeautiful wing\u201d), the river damsels.\u00a0Don\u2019t look for them around quiet ponds. They put their beauty to good use in their showy courtship displays.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dot-Tailed
Dot-Tailed Whiteface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DOT-TAILED WHITEFACE \u2013 No doubt that this is a whiteface<\/a> – here\u2019s the dot-tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were so busy celebrating National Moth Week last week that we neglected to celebrate the simultaneous National Pollinator Week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
