Beewolves, also known as bee-hunters or bee-killer wasps, are solitary, predatory wasps, most of which prey on bees, hence their common name. The adult females dig tunnels in the ground for nesting, while the territorial males mark twigs and other objects with pheromones to claim the territory from competing males.

Alobates pennsylvanica is a species of beetle in the genus Alobates whose common name is false mealworm beetle. The species is black, has a pronotum that is nearly square, and has at least five rows of fine punctures on each elytron. False mealworm beetles live beneath bark and logs and are found throughout the United States. They have a life span of one year. A. pennsylvanica is often misidentified with A. barbatus. The difference between the two is on the mentum of the head ventral. A. barbatus have a tuft of long yellow setae, while A. pennsylvanica does not.
