10 male wedge shaped beetles glued to points and arranged in wheels of 5 specimens across two pins
Poor practice or an innovative way to save pins? 70 year old series of male Ripiphorus diadasiae/sexdens (I have to look closer) from Southern California (Ripiphoridae, Coleoptera).

A piece of recently disturbed weed fabric penetrated by roots of side oats grama grass
Weed fabric - bad for ground nesting bees and wasps, bad for soil health, and doesnβt stop plant roots. Just say no!

Yes! Most of the known hosts are native, ground nesting bees like Diadasia and Halictus.
