Sweat bees and other native bees are often specialists that evolved alongside specific types of plants and are the only insects capable of pollinating them. Before you get rid of them, you have to be able to identify a potato bug.Like most other native pollinators, many of these bee species are declining.Larvae, developing within the nests, eat from a mass of pollen and nectar that their mothers provided to them when they laid the eggs.Adults eat nectar and pollen, pollinating flowers in the process.Adults are usually seen foraging for pollen and nectar among flowers in fields, gardens, grasslands, roadsides, and other open places where flowers are abundant.Males and immature females are not solid black, and have. Nearly all sweat bees nest in the ground a few nest in rotten wood. The red hourglass may be yellow or orange, and may not actually be shaped like an hourglass. Listing of bugs and other insects that can be found in Nevada.Typically 0.25 to 0.75 inches in length.Named for their attraction to perspiration, which offers them precious moisture and salts. Milkweed Bug Reddish orange insects with a conspicuous black band across the middle and two large diamond-shaped black patches fore and aft.Most members of this family are black or brown, but some are brightly colored, notably with metallic greens and blues.Some are red, some orange, and some are ivory-colored. The genus Pyrophorus, which occurs in the tropical areas of the Western Hemisphere, is luminescent, giving off a greenish and red-orange light. More than 500 species in North America north of Mexico The color and pattern of the swamp milkweed leaf beetle is highly variable. The eyed elator ( Alaus oculatus ), a North American click beetle, grows to 45 mm (over 1.75 inches) long and has two large black-and-white eyelike spots on the prothorax, a region behind the head.Caterpillars feed on leaves of broad-leaved trees and shrubs such as sweetgum (Liquidambar), birch (Betula), grape (Vitis), hickory (Carya), maple (Acer), oak (Quercus), willow ( Salix), and members of the rose family (Rosaceae).Caterpillars greatly resemble caterpillars of Luna moths.Light pollution from man-made sources (particularly mercury vapor street lights) may deter mating and have a negative impact on their populations in urban areas Adults are nocturnal and strongly attracted to light - particularly UV wavelengths.The single-layered cocoon is thicker and more elliptical than the cocoon of the Luna moth.Eggs are slightly oval, flattened, white with two broad brown rings and are cemented to the substrate with a dark brown adhesive.Antennae are comb-like on four sides with those of males being larger than those of females.The upper surface of the wings is various shades of reddish brown, gray, light brown or yellow-brown with transparent eyespots Adult wingspan is approximately 4 to 6 inches.Inhabits deciduous hardwood forests, urban areas, orchards, and wetlands.Found from southern Canada into Mexico and in all of the lower 48 states except for Arizona and Nevada.
