尼氏蟻屬 (屬 Nylanderia)觀察者
clurarit描述
Yeah, this one.
Setae well paired and organized.
Propodeum lacking setae.
Metanotal groove complete but very shallow.
6 teeth, mandibles striated? not sure.
Legs and antennae elongate and lack standing hairs.
Since other similar species like Nylanderia otome or Nylanderia yambaru are dumped under Nylanderia, I'm still flagging it under Nylanderia. For now....

If anyone has any information on these, please let me know. I haven't been able to find the species, and I'm not very well-versed in the world of flatworms, but I absolutely adore these little buggers. These were found in the spring at Mcnair Springs, Magee, MS. I appreciate anyone's help.

This appears to be Tilloclytus portoricensis, based on comparisons to Bezark’s photographs of the type specimen, also from Guanica. A new species for iNaturalist, it seems.

A perplexing Hygrocybe that seems to shift colors with the environment. When observed in a semi-dry state the next day, the pileus was dark maroon and the gill edge even appeared green! Looking at other photos of H. prieta with the more typically green hymenium and dark pileus, I am convinced it is that. It is possible that the fresh specimens like this one are more brightly pigmented, or it could be a color variety or just a closely related taxon. Microscopically the dimorphic spores fit the measurements of H. prieta in Lodge (1990) and it keys out to this taxon. H. naranjana is discussed as a taxon that closely resembles H. prieta, and the colors of the dry specimen match the illustration in Dennis (1970) almost perfectly. I would not be surprised if they are synonymous.

屬 Tigrosa描述
I didn't know we had spiders this big in Colorado. Was hunting in a waste gutter at the kennel I work at. The insects available to it there were mostly flies, moths, earwigs, and pillbugs.

Third photo shows nearby Camponotus on the same plant, the probable mimicry model for this spider. Note gold hairs on the body, especially the abdomen of both spider and ant.

showing a lighter coloration for C. mimosae. Coloration of the head and mesosoma are typical, but the abdomen is much lighter than the typical black. Could be the result of recent eclosion, but multiple workers showed this color pattern

These queens are not from the same colony, but are independent foundresses from domatia of sapling Vachellia drepanolobium trees, placed together here for a photo. They are defending the pupae of parasitoid wasps which ate their respective broods.

Contents of Vachellia drepanolobium domatium. C. mimosae colonies are often polygynous - this domatium had 3 living queens, two of which had been completely delimbed (but were still alive) and the other (bottom left) was missing legs. This may have occurred due to adversarial interactions between queens or could have been done by workers.

Contents of Vachellia drepanolobium domatium collected for research. Note the presence of a winged gyne-worker 'intermediate' which is yet unrecorded for this species. These intermediates may serve as an additional third 'caste' which lays unfertilized eggs a la C. smithi and a few other Crematogaster species (see Peeters et al. 2013 DOI: 10.1016/j.asd.2013.02.003)

Myrmecophile living among Crematogaster mimosae ants in Vachellia drepanolobium domatium. Cropped and enhanced photos added to assist ID determination. Probable ID: Hockingia curiosa, a known mimic and myrmecophile of C. mimosae (see Hocking 1970 and references listed in comments)
