Just for interest, added cycad seeds being sorted . Nobody seems to know who brought them in or where they came from, but many of the seeds have similar holes, similarly empty. None of our cycads have cones now, so thinking this beastie came in with the seeds.

In a suburban neighborhood. My yard (where she was found) is pretty wild and full of natives, but the rest of the neighborhood is quite sterile and landscaped. She was around the size of P. fuscatus and flying maybe 6-8 feet above the ground when captured.

Curious shot taken by my friend Vinícius Ferarezi (who's agreed with this publication) on the Kiss concert. A katydid (Phaneropterinae?) landed on the MIC hahahaha

The best match for my images is Genea aurea, which according to Bugguide.net is the most yellowish of the species. Genea texensis is quite similar but again according to Bugguide, has a shorter proboscis and longer palps than other species, and images on Bugguide (e.g., https://bugguide.net/node/view/2081642/bgimage) show these to be shorter and longer respectively than on my images (see images 3 & 4). Images of G. robertsonii and G. pavonacea show these species to be significantly darker than G. aurea and G. texensis. That said, it is my best inference, I would certainly appreciate any guidance/corrections by people more knowledgeable of tachinids than I am.

Not sure if this is a spider wasp, paper wasp or something entirely different. It killed the mantis.

Not sure that there is enough to go on here, but looks like this male has very wide frons like coloradensis and I did catch a female of that species that I ID'd under the scope earlier in the month.

What's going on here? Are the small red mites babies or parasites??
