Some crane flies mating. I'm not sure of the exact type of crane fly, I think these may make a living eating mosquitos as some of their nicknames include 'Mosquito Hawk' and 'Skeeter-eater'.

A braconid wasp. These are one of the families of parasitic wasps. Never trust anything with an ovipositor.

An orb weaver spider of some sort. These have been spinning webs on the tops of leaves and I often find them eating an unfortunate fly.

This is a spitbug. Well, the spitbug is inside the bubbles somewhere. They create a protective layer of bubbles around them. Last weekend in the Ramble.

This is a lance fly (family Lonchaeidae) in the Ramble of Central Park. They're found in woodland areas and their larva are typically found under bark.

This is a leaf beetle of some sort. In particular it's the type that's eating the holes in the jewel weed in Central Park.

A wasp of some sort in the North Woods of Central Park. I think these are one of the wasps that lay their eggs in leaves creating those strange bumps.

A harvestman in the North Woods of Central Park. These are in the 'daddy-long-legs' group of critters.
