Dianthidium parkeri, back, Cochise Co., AZ
A pollen laden Dianthidium parkeri from Cochise County, Arizona collected by Don Harvey. This genus is associated with drylands. A few occur in the East, but are almost entirely restricted to dry sandy soil habitats. Features here to look at, bee-wise, are the very large wing covers and the winged projections at the corners of the thorax behind the head.

spider 10 2, beltsville, md
Tiny Oxyopes spider (thanks Bob Kallal for id) only resolvable using a 10x microscope objective attached to a 200mm lens....so much going on amidst those blades of long grass in the tiny pastures we allow to grow, where complicated comings and goings occur in such grand webs of complexity that mowing becomes not just conformity...but slaughter.

spider 10x, beltsville, md
Two VERY SMALL spiders. Sadly I know little about spiders so can't tell you the species / group other a number that it is not. This Spider was only about 4mm. Captured outside of my lab in Beltsville, MD. Once I started looking I realized...there are billions of such spiders (tiny ones that is) in an average field.

Spider 3, U, face, Patuxant, MD
Tiny 3mm Spider, caught 10/9/2012, placed in hand sanitizer in a cuvette. Note cloud of hairs, might have to drag the specimen to a new location in HS to remove? Replaced the white paper under the specimen with Black and that decreased the highlight burnout on the lightcolored legs.

Spider Wasp
An orphan picture. Other than it is a spider wasp and came from the county I work in I don't know much more about this azure beauty. It was taken when we were first setting up the camera rig in 2012....so likely just fell between the cracks.
