Mantokuoriaiset (Suku Scolytus)Havainnoija
whateverwatcherKuvaus
On Common Hackberry (213896955).
Beetle? Beatle, more like, with that hairdo! Possibly appropriate in another way; BugGuide says that native species are on conifers and 'adventive' on hardwoods. So this could be an import.
It was fairly patient, but I still failed to get one really good shot before it gave up on me and vamoosed.

Ohotanlokki (Larus schistisagus)Havainnoija
kent_millerKuvaus
Very suggestive of Slaty-backed: Herring Gull sized with slaty colored back, huge white tertial crescent, large white apical spots on folded black wings, dark mascara stripe through eye. Clearly not as big, bulky, big headed or big-billed as Great Black-back that was seen swimming right beside it. Chestier, not as long-winged as Lesser Black-backed. Smaller, darker mantled, dirtier headed, broader tertial crescent than the Great Lakes Gulls I've seen.

A first for my property if this is indeed a Marine blue. Wings coppery brown above with indigo bases. Nectaring on clover. Woohooo!!! #78 for my sanctuary! And it may be Ohio’s first well-documented record.

There were dozens of elfin skimmers out this day. Shaw lake is a hidden gem for these sorts of surprises.

I'm reaching quite a bit on this ID. Improvement welcomed.
I just hated to leave him at Pardosa with his flashy coloring. Definitely not what I usually see!

The first Checkered White I have seen since 2012! I have @lundbergj to thank for this. I was experimenting with my new camera I bought from him. Not much was flying today due to cold/ breezy weather, so I figured I would practice flight shots on Cabbage Whites. I looked at this one through the viewfinder and I just about dropped my nice new camera! A Checkered White! I never would have noticed it if I wasn't practicing flight shots. It didn't look any different from the Cabbage Whites at a distance.

I found this coyote pup with a plastic jar stuck on it’s head. I took it to Bruckner Nature Center where they informed me that state law prohibited them from even attempting to save its life.

Ablattaria laevigataHavainnoija
engelhardKuvaus
This silphid larva seems to be observed regularly in the Alps in iNaturalist, but is never identified at species level - with some exceptions - which might either be due to lack of an ID key, or to similarities. .
I was thinking of the mountain species, Silpha tyrolensis - but it appears to be too slender, and not properly black.
For an illustration of the larva of Silpha tyrolensis, see:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/43261234?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents
(on page 271) - but this looks quite different.
It also looks like Ablattaria laevigata - see:

Dythemis veloxHavainnoija
smwhiteKuvaus
Female. The first Swift Setwing I have seen at Spring Lakes since 2017! I saw a single male each year in 2016 and 2017. Then, I didn’t see any at this location from 2018-2020, although I searched very hard. So I assumed the population had died out (or the two I saw were migrants.) I was very glad to see this female today. She was ovipositing (repeatedly dipping abdomen in water), and then perched in the grass for a few moments. I only had time for a few photos before she flew off. I couldn’t find her again or find another one. But since it was a female laying eggs, there is hope for the future!

Magicicada cassiniiHavainnoija
weecorbieKuvaus
Governor Bebb historical village; prevailing loud chorus of cassinii, with loud chorus of septendecim in hickory grove.
An interesting color variant! No reason to believe this was anything other than cassinii; size was consistent and no decula calls were heard in the area.

Seen with @shaunpogacnik95 at Irwin Prairie SNP. ID is from Shaun’s observation here https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82116541. Apparently a substantial find for Ohio’s odonata?

This photo was taken by Ed LeGrand. I am submitting it here with his permission.
There's a pinkish cast to the photo (from light reflecting from the pokeweed stalk, I think), but the color of the photo has not been manipulated.

A couple of these caterpillars were running around the bottom on a large puddle that was just a few inches deep. They looked at home under the water, so I guess it's an aquatic species.

Caught while swordfishing in 2000' of water. Released after collecting data. Seam away strong. Local biologist and ichthyologist were unsure of species. No other records of any similar shark observed in Cayman waters.
