Shield-Winged Insects: Aspen Grove July 2014
http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2014/07/aspen-grove-july-2014.html
To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Aspen Grove July 2014. We started our day journey on the trail to Stewart Falls, located two miles west of Aspen Grove family camp on the east-facing slopes of Mt. Timpanogos. I was lucky to have even noticed this mostly hidden longhorn; Pseudogaurotina cressoni. Aside from the longhorn, these bumble bee like scarabs were out flying from flower to flower. A flower chafer, Trichiotinus assimilis. July 30, 2014 at 9:06 AM.

Cyrtopogon probably C. evidens. Identified by Eric Fisher, only saw two of these, they're about 1cm long or less, I just happened to spot it on a rock. Diogmites misellus - Hanging Thieve. This is a Robber Fly in the family Asilidae. They are very accomplished hunters and can be very large, over 3cm! Mating pair of Efferia at the sand dunes in New Mexico. This was finally ID'd as an Efferia. Here's a pretty robber fly that I found at the top of Bootjack Trail at Muir Woods. ID'd by Eric Fisher. Mallophor...

Shield-Winged Insects: About Myself
http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/p/jon.html
To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Sierra Nevada, California. My name is Jon Quist. I am not an expert taxonomist, blogger, writer and most of all speller by any means, but I can feel myself moving in that direction every day. I love the outdoors, especially non-touristy places where I can go hike, swim, camp and bug collect without having to explain why I'm flipping rocks and peeling bark off of fallen trees. Guadalupe Nipomo Dunes, San Luis Obispo County, coastal California.

To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Awesome Beetles From an Awesome Sister. Over the past two or three years, as my passion and attention toward entomology has grown, my older Sister, Rebecca Quist, has been ever-so-kind to collect beetles for me on her own outdoor adventures. She studied field biology at Utah State, has spent a year in Randolph, Utah studying the nesting sights for Sage Grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus. Utah, Rich County. An eas...

Shield-Winged Insects: June 2013
http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Thursday, June 27, 2013. First Ten-lined June Beetle of the Year. Truth is that the Cyclocephala is probably the more interesting and local scarab than this this pretty pest, but I have not yet identified the former so I will save those for a later post (They're usually the first and last active in the summer). Monday, June 24, 2013. Vicente Flat 2.) What Dwells on the Forest's Floor. An excellent habitat for unique California ground beetles.

Shield-Winged Insects: March 2013
http://shieldwinged.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
To Earth's most fascinating, diverse and overlooked creatures. Sunday, March 24, 2013. To the park and beyond. Last Sunday I had an awesome picnic with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin at Cottonwood Park on the borders of Fresno. A couple years ago, this would be the same park that I spent many hours collecting at after school. It never disappointed, either! Going back this time with a camera in the early spring was a real treat too. Pacific Gopher Snake ( Pituophis catenifer catenifer. Sunday, March 17, 2013.
