Male and female were courting on a stick. Images turned 1/4. The female attempted to deny his advances several times but he remained at a safe distance each time and continued to try to attract her.

kneubaue描述
~ 1 mm whitish non-metallic body with light blue eyes. Had long white setae coming off the last tergite, patterned wings and body; black outlining all whitish body segments on mesosoma and metasoma and legs. Clear whitish color bead like anelli (could be pedicel) and 1 long club-like possibly fused funicle and clava. Found on the surface of rainwater in a bucket. Dried off and jumped more than flew away. ID'd by expert, Bob Zuparko on Hymnopterists Forum. Hyperparasitic on parasitoids (hymenoptera) of scales according to BugGuide. Bob Zuparko shared, "In Gibson et al., 1997, the genus was listed as a hyper of Diaspididae, Coccidae, Psyllidae and other Homoptera, while 1 species was a primary of Conchaspididae."

Can anybody ID these bees? They were feeding on palo verde blossoms in April 2022 in eastern Pinal County.

This bee was piercing the base of the flower and drinking nectar through the holes. Fun to watch.

Female ant cricket from Santa Barbara County, California. These crickets are closely associated with ants. They copy the movement rate of their adopted ant hosts and take on the odor of the colony until the ants accept them as members. In the colony, they lick ant secretions, prey on ant eggs, solicit regurgitated food, and feed on prey brought in by the ants.
