This is an image of the hibiscus psyllid, Mesohomotoma hibisci. The brown ones are parasitized ("mummies"). Probably , Psyllaephagus sp. Will try to rear some for identification. Also saw an immature lacewing preying on psyllid nymphs on this leaf. Collected at UOG Ag Expt Station. It is the very end of the rainy season and the air is full of wavy particles which I presume to be from M. hibisci.
Walter Nagamine posted images of Psyllaephagus near tekkedyensis parasitizing M. hibisci in Hawaii.

macheteSpiderCropped.JPG
This image was sent to me (Aubrey) by Paul Wenninger for identification. The original was much larger. I cropped it to show the area of interest. The horizontal line is the blade of a machete. This the spider is probably Heteropoda venatoria. I see nothing in the photo which would preclude this ID.
Email stream follows:
______________________________________________
No worries. Looking forward to another photo. One other thing: the only other sparassid reported from the Marianas is an Olios sp known only from Guam according to Joe Beatty (S. IL Univ at Carbondale, retired) and Jim Berry (Butler Univ, retired), whove collected all across Micronesia, but its always much smaller.

Hi guys,
Afraid i ll not be of much help. The arrangement of the setae on the legs
looks normal for Guam's huntsman, including the basal ring of lighter
colour. But the red abdomen is way strange; ive never seen that in Guam's
huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria). The large size of the abdomen
could be because it was a gravid female. And if im seeing things correctly,
the arrangement of the eyes on your specimen doesnt even look Heteropoda or
maybe even typical of its family, the Sparassidae (H venatoria has two rows
of two medial eyes; this one looks like it has a single row?). Aubrey do
you have a book on IDing spider families? Finally the colour pattern on the
cephalothorax looks wrong too (Marianas H venatoria have two big dark spots;
this one looks like its got a dark central stripe expanding posteriorly).
But its really hard to tell from the photo.
What is unequivocal from the photo is thats one dead-ass spider. Looks like
it was killed by a parent of small children.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Paul,
Happy New Year.
My best guess is that this is just a huntsman spider, Heteropoda
venatoria. There is some variation in color and some have a reddish brown
abdomen as shown in the photo. I'm forwarding this to Alex Kerr for his
expert opinion. If you get a better close-up, please send it along.
All the Best,
- Aubrey

Hi Aubrey,
My co-worker killed this spider. I have never seen one like it on
Guam
before, neither has Gretchen. He said it was as large as his hand
and the
abdomen was the size of a quarter. Note the machete that is in the
photo.
You can see the brown abdomen in the photo. He is goind to try to
send a
close up photo tomorrow. Thought you or somone at UOG might be
interested.
Please let me know what you think. He did not keep the specimen.

Hi Paul,
Here's a picture of the spider that I killed on Monday. My wife
didn't send
the close up picture, but I'll try and get it sent tomorrow. Please
forward
to Aubrey for identification. By the way, I live in Barrigada next
to
Admiral Nimitz Golf Course.
