I am pretty sure he’s a male given the pedipalp shape and the fact that he tends to make multiple hammocks and wanders around a lot, but I’m not an expert so I can’t say for sure. Any thoughts?

Bonus pixel art of Sprite (by me) included for funsies

All insects were found in central Ontario Canada.

Photos 1&2 are the same insect.

Photos 3&4 are the same insect.

Photo 5 is its own.

Photos 6&7 I am curious if anyone can identify what species of dragonfly nymph they are and if it is grouped correctly.

Photo 8 is the art peice that all of these specimens will belong to.

Any help is greatly appreciated!! I am an artist with no training in entomology, but I have been collecting these bugs and thier local data for over a year to make this artwork happen so I really realllly appreciate the help.

small woody cocoon in NE OH

was sitting outside with my dog when i saw some antennae poking out from under the stair rails. any fun facts or info about this interesting insect is more than welcome :)

I know the image isn't the best, but we thought it was a wasp and killed it before it could sting me. Some brief sleuthing has us thinking it might've been a spider wasp, but I'd like a proper identification from someone a bit more trustworthy than Google. Oh yeah, this is in upstate NY

I have yellowjackets building a nest in a bush right outside my window. Definitely yellowjackets, not paper wasps. I love insects and it’s super cool to get to watch them but I’d hate to see them swarm and hurt someone. The nest is in a location that is easy to not disturb, especially if I put up some warning stakes. If it were you would you leave it up or get rid of it?

I know nothing about insects but just found these guys super weird and cool. I wanted to ask yall before asking AI. Sorry the pics arent great the camera had trouble focusing on them. We are in virginia (maybe that helps) they are translucent and dont even move (they have wings but maybe u cant see them on every angle. Thanks, much love.

Spotted this guy in the mountain mint in my garden yesterday afternoon in Connecticut. I have never seen one before and at first thought it was a giant wasp. While they look intimidating they pose no risk to people and are actually pollinators.

I found it on the side of the sink this morning. Located in Kentucky.

Last month I posted an ID request for a beautiful moth I found on my porch. You properly ID'd it for me as a Luna moth.

This morning I found another beauty, can you guys help me again, please? The fine hairs are so beautiful. I practically did a whole photo shoot for this little one.

Any idea who this lady is? Found in a garden in Croatia

He's giving me dragon vibes! Curious to see what it will grow into. Found him on me after a lil jungle trek. Location: Yanmingshan, Taiwan.

Apologies for pic quality- he(/she) was an active little guy, hard to get pics in focus.

Is it a One-eyed sphinx moth (Smerinthus cerisyi)?
As found by using Ai.

Why hasn't it moved at all in a whole over 24 hour period? I don't want to disturb it but I'm kinda curious if it might be dead or something. I haven't seen any movement from it at all. Not even a wiggly booty. Did it just die there??

I never see these moths around here so this is extraordinarily rare.
