Myrmecophilus oregonensis, known generally as the Oregon ant cricket or west coast ant cricket, is a species of ant cricket in the family Myrmecophilidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in North America. [1] [5]
Myrmecophilus or ant crickets, is a genus of orthopteran insects in the family Myrmecophilidae. This genus contains the majority of myrmecophilous (ant-loving) species in this small, obscure family.
Fusitriton oregonensis is a species of large predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cymatiidae.
The Myrmecophilidae or ant-loving crickets are rarely encountered relatives of mole crickets, and are obligate inquilines within ant nests. They are very small, wingless, and flattened, so resemble small cockroach nymphs. The few genera contain fewer than 100 species. Ant crickets are yellow, brown, or nearly black in color. They do not produce sound, and lack both wings and tympanal organs ("ears") on the front tibia.
Paratrechina is one of seven ant genera in the Prenolepis genus-group from the subfamily Formicinae. Six species are included in Paratrechina; one of which, the longhorn crazy ant, is a widespread, pantropical pest.
Myrmecophilus acervorum is an orthopteran insect belonging to the family Myrmecophilidae. This continental European species is probably the most widespread and most frequently encountered member of this rather obscure family found in Europe. It is also by far the smallest orthopteran found in Western Europe, with its total adult length never exceeding 3.5 mm (0.14 in).
The longhorn crazy ant, also known as "black crazy ant", is a species of small, dark-coloured insect in the family Formicidae. These ants are commonly called "crazy ants" because instead of following straight lines, they dash around erratically. They have a broad distribution, including much of the tropics and subtropics, and are also found in buildings in more temperate regions, making them one of the most widespread ant species in the world. This species, as well as all others in the ant subfamily Formicinae, cannot sting.
Myrmecophilus americanus is an ant cricket, a wingless cricket that is an obligate parasite of ants and lives in their nests.
Grylloidea is the superfamily of insects, in the order Orthoptera, known as crickets. It includes the "true crickets", scaly crickets, wood crickets and other families, some only known from fossils.
Humboldt's flying squirrel is one of three species of the genus Glaucomys, the only flying squirrels found in North America. Using genetic analyses, Arbogast et al. (2017) showed that Humboldt's flying squirrel, previously thought to be conspecific with the northern flying squirrel, was actually a distinct species. These squirrels do not actually fly but glide from tree to tree. Humboldt's flying squirrels are found in coniferous and mixed coniferous forests from southern British Columbia to southern California. They are similar in appearance to the northern flying squirrel, however, they are generally smaller and have darker pelage. They are good gliders but clumsy walkers on the ground. They feed on a variety of plant material as well as tree sap, fungi, insects, carrion, bird eggs and nestlings. They mostly breed once a year in a cavity lined with lichen or other soft material. Unlike most members of their family, flying squirrels are strictly nocturnal.
Myrmecophilus manni is a species in the family Myrmecophilidae, in the order Orthoptera. Common names are "desert ant cricket" and "Mann's ant cricket". Myrmecophilus manni is found in North America.
Gryllidea is an infraorder that includes crickets and similar insects in the order Orthoptera. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea.
Eremochelis oregonensis is a species of windscorpion in the family Eremobatidae.
Myrmecophilus pergandei, the eastern ant cricket, is a species of ant cricket in the family Myrmecophilidae. It is found in North America.
Myrmecophilus nebrascensis, the Nebraska ant cricket, is a species of ant cricket in the family Myrmecophilidae. It is found in North America.
Styracosceles is a genus of camel crickets in the family Rhaphidophoridae. There are at least four described species in Styracosceles.
Formica oregonensis is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Melanoplus oregonensis, the oregon short-wing grasshopper, is a species of spur-throated grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in North America.
Deretaphrus is a genus of dry bark beetles in the family Bothrideridae. A taxonomic revision of the genus published in 2013 listed 25 species, which exhibit a disjunct distribution. There are 22 species of the genus described from Australia, with single species also being found in each of New Caledonia, Bolivia, and North America.
Nadata oregonensis is a species of moth in the family Notodontidae. It was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881 and it is found in North America.
