This observation for whatever fungus killed a Podabrus rugosulus (224557885) on Liriodendron tulipifera (224557883).
So weird. I was attracted to the tulip tree by its leafminer damage. Flipping over leaves, and bam! The crazy part is that @greenscenery just recently told me that he found one like this (219797916) in a different county.

Date

December 2023

Description

Eggs on Zale duplicata largera larva. Found on Pinus banksiana in pine-oak barrens/sand prairie complex after dark on 7/19. Clearly parasitized by Tachinid flies. Collected and photographed. Pupated on or by 7/28. Parasites emerged and pupating by 7/31. Adult fly in container by 12/17. See group observation field for all observations (consecutive marked captive/casual) associated with this individual. ID seems to be what Wagner refers to as Zale dupliata largera based on the prominent humped A8 and the diffuse central dorsal area of stripe in conjunction with Pinus banksiana host.

Description

in mid September I discovered 3 tiny Black swallowtail caterpillars on the parsley I brought home from my community garden plot. Feeling responsible for them I kept them safe in a netted container and fed them more parsley. They all formed chrysalis-es, and 2 mature butterflies emerged and I let them fly off. But in the container I found the 3rd chrysalis with a hole on the side, and a dead wasp. I assume that one of the tiny caterpillars was already infested with eggs of the parasitic wasp before i picked it along with the parsley.

Description

This is Phillip, the first initiated member of my very official LAS (Lanternfly Assassination Squad). While I did supply the lanternfly nymph, it was found within 10 feet of the spider. I was curious if the resident jumping spider was large enough to eat the third instar nymphs, and the answer is yes!

Description

I watched an ant attack and drag a spotted lanternfly nymph over the course of a few minutes. The single ant managed to hold on as the lanternfly flung both of them into the air multiple times. Finally, the lanternfly stopped resisting, and the ant dragged it down between the gravel stones.

This location has a large lanternfly infestation as well as an ant colony.

Comments

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.

Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.

That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
