Has anyone come up with a list of insects in VT including where they frequent & what times of day they appear?

I have a bunch of notes but haven't typed it up. One thing that's helpful: the insects are somewhat true to nature. For instance, mosquitoes appear at dusk (and maybe at dawn) and only certain times of the year, just like real mosquitoes. Some insects only appear at night or during the day; a hopping, grass-dwelling critter will be a cricket if it's nighttime but a grasshopper during the day. (Those two are also slightly different sizes, but I distinguish them by the night/day thing.) I will leave "when does night become day?" as an exercise for the reader - I think I know, but I'm not sure.

Thanks @tygerkittn The list of insects is helpful, I will begin an image library of them & a study of behavior/habitat/season/etc

In the interest of consolidation, we can continue this discussion & any posts relating to insects in the other, already established thread. If a mod wishes, this thread can be locked.

I notice a lot of ladybugs around the redberries cactus, trapdoor spiders only come out of holes in the ground, slugs, centipedes, inch worms, glow worms, red worms, earwigs, and termites are mostly on the river bank but sometimes walking into the walls of buildings or houses or fences. Wasps are usually up in the Northeast corner (so are horseflies) but sometimes between the port and the cave (wasps are worth 220 coins!).
Tiger beetles, Rhino Beetles, and Longhorn Beetles are on trees, obviously, and they have a shadow at the bottom of the tree if you can't see them, you can see the shadow. Cicadas are at the bases of trees.
Mosquitoes and crane flies follow you around, pretty much. Red Lilly Beetles are usually near ladybugs and they're worth 140 or 160.
Spiders and crickets seem to like tall grass. Flies like weeds, and there are always flies buzzing at the northwest corner of the northern lake, a few steps north of it. (Unless there are weeds around to distract them, then they flit from spot to spot like butterflies).
There's occasionally a horsefly south of the southern lake.
That's all I can remember right now.
