Summer Fishfly/Chauliodes pectinicornis flailing about. Four wings awkward. Seen in Staatsburg like the rest of the insects below. (Brooklyn has few Megaloptera.)

Atymna querci, no common name.

There are innumerable craneflies, most impossible to identify from photos, but this Tipula longiventris is quite distinctive, not least with its large size, 3.5cm long.

A mayfly. Turns out there are an awful lot of species.

Saddled Leafhopper/Colladonus clitellarius

Antlered Crane Fly/Tanyptera dorsalis male. These “exhibit extreme polymorphism in body color and body size of both sexes.”

American Giant Millipede/Complex Narceus americanus

Wolf spider carrying her egg case.

Another carrying her spiderlings…

Spotted Wood Fly/Somula decora. In flight, very Vespula-like.

Phylloecus genus stem sawfly.
