Insects Caught in Bug Sweeps That I've Uploaded
I couldn't figure out how to make this into a list, so I decided to make a journal post. All observations of insects (and one snail) on here were caught in bug sweeps either in Kiowa County or Graham County (Kansas). This is just so I can put all these insects in one place for me to easily refer to whenever I want. I'll update this as I add more insects.

Parasitic wasp with pink eyes, never seen one like this before! Also, the metallic pink sheen on the thorax area (right under the wings) was actually on the wasp, it was not a lighting effect from the microscope light or phone camera.
