  • A young (31day old) red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) eating a Douglas fir needle. Red tree voles are rarely seen. They are nocturnal and live in Douglas fir tree tops and almost never come to the forest floor.  They are one of the few animals that can persist on a diet of conifer needles which is their principle food.  As a defense mechanism, conifer trees have resin ducts in their needles that contain chemical compounds (terpenoids) that make them unpalatable to animals.  Tree voles, however, are able to strip away these resin ducts and eat the remaining portion of the conifer needle.

  • Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) on Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) at Cascade Head Preserve on the Oregon Coast. The cinnabar moth was first introduced into Oregon in 1960 to contraol non-native, invasive, tansy ragwort.  Subsequent research has shown that the cinnabar moth can reduce ragwort populations by 50-75% on sites favorable for their survivorship (Isaacson and Ehrensing 1977).  Adult cinnabar moths begin to emerge in late spring/early summer.  Mating commences quickly, and females lay their eggs on the underside of ragwort leaves.  Larva hatch in about two weeks and begin feeding on ragwort foliage.  By the third instar, larvae have migrated to the top of the plant to feed on the buds and flowers. With a good population of larvae, plants are stripped of flowers, buds and leaves.

  • The Kentucky cave shrimp (Palaemonias ganteri) is an eyeless, troglobite shrimp. The habitat of the Kentucky cave shrimp is exclusively in underground streams of caves. It is endemic to the Mammoth Cave National Park region of central Kentucky. The shrimp feeds mainly on sediments that are washed into the cave by the movement of groundwater. The Kentucky Cave Shrimp was included on the IUCN Red List as Endangered in 1994. Photographed (via permit) near the river Styx in Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky.

An introduced pest species in North America, the spotted wing fruit fly (Drosophila suzukii) feeds and breeds on fresh berries such as rasberries, strawberries and cherries – unlike most fruit flies that infest decaying and rotting fruit. Drosophila suzukii is a substantial pest for berry and fruit farmers. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com

  • An iridescent cuckoo wasp (Chrysididae sp.) in flight. Photographed in The Nature Conservancy's Zumwalt Prairie Preserve in NE Oregon. The name 'cuckoo wasp' is attributed to the fact that this insect, like the cuckoo bird, lays her eggs in the nest of an unsuspecting host. This insect was photographed after being spotted following small leafcutter bees to their nest with the plan of laying an egg in a larvae chamber of the host bee, concealing her activity by re-sealing the hole she made, and then leaving and allowing her offspring to kill and consume the host larvae, in some cases with occasional feedings by the host. Please note: The background of this image was digitally expanded to allow for better composition.

  • The Kentucky cave shrimp (Palaemonias ganteri) is an eyeless, troglobite shrimp. The habitat of the Kentucky cave shrimp is exclusively in underground streams of caves. It is endemic to the Mammoth Cave National Park region of central Kentucky. The shrimp feeds mainly on sediments that are washed into the cave by the movement of groundwater. The Kentucky Cave Shrimp was included on the IUCN Red List as Endangered in 1994. Photographed (via permit) near the river Styx in Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky.
