Zora & Syspira: wolf-like prowling spiders. May 9, 2016. Did you ever come across one of the most beautiful wolf spiders you’ve ever seen, only to realize that it’s not a wolf spider at all, because the eyes are all wrong? Well, I had this experience recently. Twice, actually. Check out some of the great photos Sean took along the way here.

All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Dimorphic Jumping Spider, Maevia inclemens. When I lived in Ohio I had the great honor of being introduced to Dr. George Uetz at the University of Cincinnati. At the time he had a graduate student, Dave Clark, who was doing research on the courtship behavior of the Dimorphic Jumping Spider, Maevia inclemens. Tufted form" male, Missouri. What makes this spider so special, you ask? The first t...

All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Friday, November 28, 2014. Be Thankful for "Bugs". A couple days ago the following post crossed my Facebook newsfeed, and it is an excellent reminder of why insects and other arthropods are so important to us as human beings, and to the planet Earth as well. Honeybee pollinating flower in Arizona. Dung beetle pair rolling dung ball in Kansas. A scientific article was published in 2006 in the journal Bioscience.

All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Last Monday, my wife and I went out to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge northeast of Denver. We were pleased to find a handful of specimens of the cute little “Zebra Jumper,” Salticus scenicus. It is suspected that the Zebra Jumper is native to Eurasia, but has now spread across the temperate areas of the globe thanks to human commerce and travel. Look for these charismati...

Bug Eric: Hybotid Dance Flies
http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2015/05/hybotid-dance-flies.html
All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Friday, May 1, 2015. Yesterday I came across an interesting little fly while exploring Cheyenne Mountain State Park, just south of Colorado Springs, Colorado. What I found interesting is exactly where. I found them, but these are unusual dipterans in almost every regard. Vision must be quite keen, though, as the compound eyes take up most of the head. Why the name "dance fly," you ask? Cole, Frank R. 1969....

All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Two-spotted Cobweb Weaver and kin. Colorado Springs is blessed with a number of concrete bike trails throughout the city, including parks like Garden of the Gods. At this time of year, one can find numerous insects, spiders, and other arthropods parading across these paths. One example I encountered the other day was a male of the Two-spotted Cobweb Weaver, Asagena americana. Another inter...

Bug Eric: February 2015
http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
All about insects, spiders, and other arthropods, focusing on North America north of Mexico. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Green-eyed Wasps, Tachytes. Identifying wasps in the field is often problematic for a number of reasons. Wasps move quickly, and often you only get a glimpse. Mimicry complicates matters and you may actually be looking at a fly, moth, beetle, or true bug. "Field marks" are seldom visible, at least without a magnifying lens. One exception is the genus Tachytes. Atop female in Colorado.
