Physemus minutus is a species of minute marsh-loving beetle in the family Limnichidae. It is found in Central America and North America. [1] [2] [3]
The little gull, is a species of gull belonging to the family Laridae which is mainly found in the Palearctic with some colonies in North America. It breeds on freshwaters and spends winters at sea. It is the smallest species of gull in the world and the only species in the monospecific genus Hydrocoloeus.

The black noddy, also known as white-capped noddy, is a species of tern in the family Laridae. It is a medium-sized seabird with black plumage and a white cap that closely resembles the lesser noddy with which it was at one time considered conspecific. The black noddy has slightly darker plumage and dark rather than pale lores.
Limnichidae, commonly called minute marsh-loving beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Byrrhoidea. There are at least 30 genera and 350 described species in Limnichidae. They are found worldwide, with the greatest diversity in tropical regions. Most species seem to be associated with water-adjacent habitats, such as riparian and coastal locations, though many species are likely fully terrestrial, with some species being associated with leaf litter and arboreal habitats. Species with known diets feed on moss or algae. The oldest fossils of the family are known from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from Myanmar.
Pilophorus minutus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. It is found in North America.
Gyrinus minutus is a species of whirligig beetle in the family Gyrinidae. It is found in North America and Europe.The body is entirely black with a dull appearance due to its microsculpture. G. minutus typically inhabit open edges of larger water bodies like lakes and reservoirs but also reside in sparsely vegetated ponds and slow-flowing river parts. Their swimming abilities are weaker than other gyrinids, and they often disperse in groups when disturbed. Reproduction begins in early spring with mating on water surfaces, followed by egg-laying on aquatic plants. Larvae hatch after a week, growing quickly and reaching maturity within three to four weeks. They are capable of flight, and adults can be found in new locations throughout the summer. G. minutus lacks volatile production for predator defense or has minimal amounts, likely due to its behavior and habitat preferences. Interestingly, while G. minutus rarely aggregates, it can still respond to alarm signals from other species.
