Hi Richard,
The bark (& ambrosia) beetles are now treated as a subfamily, Scolytinae, of 
the weevil family, Curculionidae.  Not sure if the bug is a mirid – I don’t see 
a discernable cuneus in the hemelytra and closed cells also in the membranous 
portion.  Not used to looking at New Zealand fauna.
Fiona, this site might help on that bug is a mirid. 
http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/animals/invertebrates/systematics/hemiptera/hemiptera-virtual-collection/heteroptera/miridae
You might be able to search through it for more insects.

The first two are adult beetles, most likely bark beetles of the family 
Scolytidae. They resemble Hylastes spp.

The third creature appears to be an adult heteropteran, most likely a member of 
the family Miridae.



The images don't allow for much more precision beyond these conclusions.

Hi,
I would be grateful if someone could identify these two insects.

Image ‘pest a’ is the bottom view of image ‘pest b’.

Apologies for the bleaching effect of the lighting.

Thank you, Lou. Yes, we are in NW Washington, D.C. The Storeria dekayi makes 
perfect sense. I appreciate the help.

I'd look up Dekay's snake (if you are writing from US) Storeria dekayi.

Hello Experts,

Can anyone identify this snake? It was on one of our pest monitors in the 
basement of an historic home. It is approximately 20 centimeters long. We want 
to be certain its family members aren’t a hazard to our guests and garden staff.

Thank you in advance for the help.

My best,

Joni Joseph
