Ninebark? The way the BugLady heard the story, the shrub\u2019s name comes from the German word \u201c<em>nein<\/em>\u201d for \u201c<em>no<\/em>,\u201d a reference to the fact that the smooth bark of the young branches looks like no bark at all (some non-German botanist eventually rearranged the vowels so that they made sense to him). Anyway, a ninebark in bloom is a heap of beautiful flowers \u2013 <em>opulifolius<\/em>, indeed \u2013 and this year she watched some ninebarks that were humming with insects. More than twenty species, in fact, most of them nectar-feeders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it is reminiscent of that old-time favorite Bridal wreath, which is also in the rose family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/soldier-odontomyia19-5rz.jpg\" alt=\"Soldier Odontomyia\" class=\"wp-image-11131\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were two species of SOLDIER FLIES, including the spectacular, green <em>Odontomyia cincta<\/em>. Soldier flies are an interesting bunch of often-sluggish flies (family <em>Stratiomyidae<\/em>) who fold their wings over their backs like a closed scissors and whose antennae are \u201cY\u201d-shaped. The larvae develop in damp-to-wet habitats; spindle-shaped aquatic larvae often float at the surface, breathing through tubes in their posterior. <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/bug-of-the-week\/soldier-fly\/\">Click here to read about this in a previous post.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\nAt least three species of SWEAT BEES were there. They also come in brown, and in green with a stripy abdomen. These small, solitary bees are important pollinators of both native plants and (imported) agricultural crops like alfalfa. The green one is in the genus <em>Augochlora<\/em> \u2013 or maybe <em>Augochlorella<\/em> or <em>Augochloropsis<\/em>; the one with the red abdomen is in the genus <em>Sphecodes<\/em>. And yes, they are attracted to sweat, landing on your skin to lap sweat up with their short tongues, sometimes stinging as they are brushed off. Happily, the Schmidt Sting Pain Index ranks them as the least painful of all stinging insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/nomada-bee19-1rz.jpg\" alt=\"Nomada Bee\" class=\"wp-image-11155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/nomada-bee19-1rz.jpg 700w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/nomada-bee19-1rz-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweat bees beware \u2013 the beautiful, little <em>NOMADA<\/em> bee has you in her sights! Female sweat bees make nest tunnels and provision chambers within them for their eggs. <em>Nomad<\/em>a bees find those caches, lay an egg within, and her larvae eat the food that was stashed by the hard-working mining or sweat bee. It\u2019s called kleptoparasitism\/cleptoparasitism.

Females are, too, except when those species that <em>do<\/em> need a protein boost in order to lay their eggs must find some blood. Not all species do, and some only look for a blood meal when they want to lay a second brood. We love to hate them, but they are (grudgingly) highly sophisticated organisms that are excellent at what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/molorchus19-2rz.jpg\" alt=\"Molorchus\" class=\"wp-image-11152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/molorchus19-2rz.jpg 500w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/molorchus19-2rz-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/12\/molorchus19-2rz-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The BugLady always gets a kick out of finding the odd-looking, knobby-kneed <em>MOLORCHUS<\/em> beetles (<em>Molorchus bimaculatus<\/em>, probably), members of the Long-horned beetle family <em>Cerambycidae<\/em>.
