Tribus PteromaliniHavainnoija

I believe this species is associated with a seed predator of Croton linearis.
Seed predation rates (seeds are hollowed out but the exterior remains, and a small hole always marks the exit point of the insect) can be very high.

Seen on a field trip to Osteen Hammock led by Lydia Cuni for the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society. It was a great group of participants and we had a great time learning about pine rockland and hammock plants thanks to Lydia! For more info about field trips like this, keep an eye on the Dade Chapter's calendar here: https://dade.fnpschapters.org/events/
Their events are almost always free and open to the public although joining is a great way to support this awesome organization :-)

Seen during a field trip organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society, led by Lydia Cuni at Nixon Smiley Pineland Preserve. This pineland burned about 3 months prior so there were lots of fire-dependent plant species around to appreciate!

Seen in a restricted area I was lucky enough to access while on a field trip with the Florida Native Plant Society led by Dr. Frank Ridgely. It was a great field trip!

Seen at County Line Scrub Preserve during a field trip held by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS) led by Steve Woodmansee. Very nice seeing @kuchipatchis after 3+ years! Cool plants and bugs here... would love to come back and explore the interior of the preserve. As Steve mentioned, this site is due for a burn :-)

This was part of a really cool set of field trips organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society as part of Native Plant Field Day. More info here: https://dade.fnpschapters.org/data/uploads/documents/npd2021registration.pdf
Very much worth joining the FNPS to be a part of all of these fun activities and learn more about all of the unique habitats and plants throughout South Florida. Here's the link to the Dade Chapter's page if you want to learn more:
