Not an entomologist. I try my best to identify these little guys accurately, but ID suggestions/corrections are always welcome!

Most Ichneumonid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) are parasitoids that lay their eggs inside other insects. The larvae hatch and slowly eat their hosts alive. Eventually the larvae burst out of their hosts, killing them. Many species are very useful for pest control. Palmyra Michigan, 13 May 2016.

Today started rainy but turned beautiful (if breezy) for butterfly hunting. In its small, drab way, this Ocola Skipper drinking nectar stole my 💚. What a face.

Been seeing a lot of these Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hoppers[?] (S. festinus[?]) recently and they are just precious. 🥰

Such a good-shaped creature.
