The Biota of the Gordon Natural Area - Invertebrates
As with some of the other biotic groups, the research pattern for invertebrates at the GNA might best be described as ‘intermittent.’ Former WCU professor Win Fairchild and his students conducted research on aquatic invertebrates in Plum Run, both inside and outside of the boundaries of the GNA. To date, the only data from that work that we’ve been able to obtain are from the 2007 M.S. thesis of Danielle Difederico. Since that time, the only ‘directed’ invertebrate research at the GNA has been the annual monitoring in Plum Run by the Stroud Water Research Center (SWRC). Additional data come from the increasing frequent observations by GNA staff and from occasional observations from visitors to the GNA posted on iNaturalist.
From these sources, 363 species of invertebrates, in 240 genera, 153 families, and 37 orders have been noted at the GNA to date. Approximately one quarter (88 species; 24.2%) of the 363 species noted for the GNA were observed by Stroud researchers. Invertebrates have been grouped into seven categories: Arthropods (41 species); Crustaceans (12 species); Flatworms (3 species); Gastropods (12 species); Insects (286 species); Ribbon Worms (1 species); Springtails (6 species); and, Worms (2 species). The three best-represented Orders are in the Insects category: the Diptera (93 species), Lepidoptera (46 species), and Coleoptera (41 species). The best-represented Families are the Chironomidae (Diptera, 41 species), Erebidae (Lepidoptera; 10 species); Vespidae (Hymenoptera ; 10 species), Elmidae (Coleoptera, 8 species), and Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera, 8 species). The best-represented genera are Orthocladius (10 species), Hydropsyche and Tipula (5 species each), and Arion and Thienemanniella (4 species each).

Sphecius speciosus (Eastern Cicada-killer Wasp)
Group: Invertebrates
Type: Insects
Family: Crabronidae
Notes
Common Names: Eastern Cicada-killer Wasp
Year Observed: 2021
Identified By: Nur Ritter
First Noted By: Maeve Dowd
Comments:
Sphecius speciosus prey upon a number of genera including annual cicadas (Neotibeicen) and scrub cicadas (Diceroprocta), which is seen as a benefit because these cicadas are known to harm nursery plants and crops. They also have an advantageous defense mechanism when carrying prey back to their nest where they elude predators that might be flying above them by stopping mid-flight, waiting for predators to begin following a different wasp. This is called "freeze-stop flights" (Holm, 2021).

Common Names: Great Golden Digger Wasp
Years Observed: 2020; 2021
Identified and First Noted By: Nur Ritter
Comments:
Sphex ichneumoneus nest in full sun areas with low vegetation. After immobilizing prey of katydids (Tettigoniidae), true crickets (Gryllidae), raspy crickets (Gryllacrididae), the female stings it several more times to cause paralysis and drags it backwards into the nest (Holm, 2021).

Sphex nudus (Katydid Wasp)
Group: Invertebrates
Type: Insects
Family: Sphecidae
Notes
Common Names: Katydid Wasp
Years Observed: 2020; 2021
Identified and First Noted By: Nur Ritter
Comments:
Shpex nudus drag their prey of katydids (Tettigoniidae) and Carolina leaf rollers (Camptonotus carlinensis) into the nest backwards. No time is spent closing the entrance to the nest while foraging or hunting occurs, which leaves it open to natural enemies (Holm, 2021).

Sphex pensylvanicus (Great Black Digger Wasp)
Group: Invertebrates
Type: Insects
Family: Sphecidae
Notes
Common Names: Great Black Digger Wasp
Years Observed: 2020; 2021; 2022
Identified and First Noted By: Nur Ritter
Comments:
With an otherwise dull appearance, the wings of Sphex pensylvanicus shimmer with iridescent highlights. When building nests underground in sandy or soft soils, the female gathers soil in her mandibles and "vibrates her flight muscles to loosen the soil." Nesting and reproductive success may be decreased by birds (house sparrows, American robins, and gray catbirds) exploiting up to 1/3 of their primary food source, katydids (Amblycorpha) (Holm, 2021).
