Some bucketlist Arthropods I will be searching for this June with notes on habitat (in varying levels of detail) :)

Raphidioptera (Agulla ssp.) - Generally forests (and scrubland?) between 3,000 and 7,000 feet, although sometimes higher. Larvae under bark or around groundlitter, rocks, and roots
Desert millipede - around ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Speleketor - caves 🙃(entrances?), palm leaves (so maybe Yucca?), light traps
Troglosphaeropsocus voylesi - caves 🙃, leaf litter? (I hope)
Loneura - Mountains (documented from Arizona, so probably not)
Asiopsocus sonorensis - near streams, evergreen oaks, yucca, grape, juniper (southwest?)
Lachesillidae ssp. - leafitter, grassland, dead grass, coniferous trees
Elipsocidae ssp. - coniferous trees, leaflitter, dead grass, tree trunks
Bittacus texanus - Found in Albuquerque at El Morro in September, phenology likely May-October with peaks in June and September, the latter seemingly being larger. Shade and moisture apparently not as essential as for other Bittacids. The Albuquerque sighting was in a sandy plain with Bouteloua and Salvia at ~7000ft.
Panorpa lugubris -Extremely unlikely and if locality is accurate then likely southern New Mexico

May try to make a checklist and/or pictoral key to the known "Psocoptera" of Chile, not sure...

Disclaimer: All of the information here should not yet be taken as credible and is subject to change. As I am researching this taxon I am adapting and changing this document to reflect the current research and taxonomy. Sentences or phrases marked with question marks are aspects that I am specifically looking to confirm (or refute), but that does not mean that they are necessarily incorrect or that sentences and phrases that are not marked with question marks are the current consensus. The citations currently present are also subject to change, as there may be an eventual shift to paragraphs rather than simply note taking. Basically to summarize every part of this journal post is tentative.

To-do upon specimen access.

1. Identify specimen to genus, potentially confirming tentative ID.
2. Write notes on their observation (jumping, associations, habitat, etc.)
3. Research group (Taxonomy, Biology, Ecology, Morphology, etc.)
4. Determine species if possible (send to specialist if needed)
5. If undescribed measure everything and write description, along with aforementioned notes (both specimens, including uncollected one).
6. Ping Scelionid specialists on Inat, potentially publish, and/or co-author with specialist (alongside other descriptions?)

Notes for what to add to this journal post:

Tenebrionid burrowing videos
Squamanotoxus elegans burrowing video
Jumping Psocid nymph (video?)
Beetle mites
Ladybug
Note on Cydara (sadly not photographed)
Jumping moth, wasps (including Trichogrammatid), Saldids, Ephydrids, and others.
Whatever I may have temporarily forgotten. With videos, potentially embed, but at least linked to youtube.
