Dear Mollyanne, This is a male, non-native Woolcarder Bee, a species native to Europe but present in North America since the mid 1960s. According to BugGuide: “Males defend their territory very aggressively not only against other males but also against other flower visitors” which explains the behavior towards Honey Bees that you witnessed. |

Dear Davies, June and July are the months we receive most North American Prionid sightings, a subfamily of especially large Long-Horned Borer Beetles. This is a California Prionus or California Root Borer, |

, and according to BugGuide: “Larva feed primarily on living deciduous trees (oaks, madrone, cottonwood) and are also recorded from roots of vines, gra***es, and decomposing hardwoods and conifers. Will also attack fruit trees growing on light, well-drained soils (e.g. apple, cherry, peach).” |

Dear GT, Though this looks like a Wasp, it is actually a Clearwing Moth in the family Sesiidae, and many members of the family benefit from mimicking stinging insects like Wasps. We quickly identified your Large Red-Belted Clearwing, |

, on UK Moths where it states: “The moth flies earlier in the year than many other clearwings, being on the wing in May and June. The species inhabits heathland and woodland, where the host tree, birch ( |

abounds, and is known from much of mainland Britain.” The site also states: “Although generally larger than the similar Red-belted Clearwing, the sizes overlap and it is more easily distinguished by the orange-red suffusion at the base of the forewings” and that color is not evident in your images, so we would not rule out that your moth is a Red Belted Clearwing, |
| 13 |
. According to UK Moths: “The moths fly during the day but are not often seen, except by the use of pheromone lures. They occur from June to early August.” Though the “orange-red suffusion” is not evident, we still believe your individual appears more like the former species. |

Dear K, This distinctive beetle is an Eyed Elater, the largest North American Click Beetle. It is considered harmless to humans, and its large false eyespots will deter a large predator into thinking the Eyed Elater might be a much larger threat. |

This is an adult male Glowworm Beetle. Unlike Fireflies that have bioluminescent abilities, only the larval Glowworm glows. The larval Glowworm is sometimes called a Railroad Worm. |
