Perhaps five species of Anthicids (157 NA spp) have been collected at CCNHA.
At least two species of
Notoxus
(with pronotal hood over the head) are fairly common in CCNHA old fields.
N.
anchora has yellow bars on black elytra and N. bifasciata
has two transverse yellow bands. I have seen them feeding at the milky
lacerations they make in the unopened flower heads of goats-beard (Tragopogon).
Malporus
formicarius has been taken in small numbers in a variety of
fields as has Anthicus
(spp incl
cervinus?).
