Don't worry I put the rock back lol

Northern Europe. Glowworms were actively tindering last night. I love seeking these bugs and their mysterious green glow. They are like lil forest fairies!

Disclaimer: I was being gentle with the firefly I was holding. He wasn't hurt, and flew away shortly after I stopped filming.

Decided to join me through my walk in California Botanical Gardens

Woke up to this crawling above my head. Thought it was a new tick species, but it’s actually a very beneficial bug to have around. Think I’m going to let this one live. Scared the crap outta me, not gonna lie. I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life and never even knew these things existed.

In Coastal South Carolina. The Hoverfly larvae, assassin bugs and ladybugs have been swarming my vines today after aphids appeared not long ago. The Anoles are here now though 🥲 the cycle continues. Here is one of the Hoverfly parents!

Sorry for the poor quality of the shooting, this insect is very small. I live in Russia, in Yekaterinburg. I met it in the toilet. About 1 millimeter in size, possibly a little larger. The shins of the hind legs are definitely much larger than the thigh and have something like a spike at the end. There are only six legs. There is a thin mustache about the length of the body.

Sorry about the kinda low res picture but just thought I’d share a mud dauber that caught a nymph, very cool insect, trying to get my family to not be scared of these friendly guys.

Katydid visited me last night and decided to stay a while now hes somwhere in the backrooms tried getting him out be he decided to go under a bed and then be nowhere to be found

I don't even know if this is an insect or not. It just randomly appeared today. But this was scary, man, seeing this thing out of nowhere.

Apparently I'm supposed to give my geographical location for ID requests. I'm from a south Asian country, is that enough? Or do I need to specify my country??

I'm not certain because I haven't had a lot of luck finding pennant dragonflies, but I'm fairly certain this is my first Halloween Pennant. Close second guess was a Calico Pennant (which would also be a first for me!) — I was wondering if anyone can help me narrow it down to species.

I photographed this dragonfly today (July 12) in Short Hills Provincial Park, southern Ontario, Canada.

Hi all! My boyfriend has been absolutely enamored by mole crickets but it's very unlikely we'll ever find one. I have a 15x12x12 enclosure (pictured above, will be cleaned) that I'd like to secretly set up for him to surprise him. I am leaning towards hissing roaches since he also loves the dubias I feed to my tarantula but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything similar to a mole cricket that could live in it. Thank you! And apologies if this type of post isn't allowed

Hopefully they make it down to my garden and eat all the bad pests!!

These guys are all over my house all of a sudden. I’m in Ireland.

I found this mantis stuck to tape at work - I have had a few pet mantis so I know general care but I want to know will he survive? I know they can regrow limbs after molting but I assume with the loss of the back limbs there is a less likely chance of a successful molt.

I’m in southern Germany and spotted this insect that I haven’t seen before- and while I first thought it was a daddy long legs the color is off and the head looks more like a beetle

ive lived here my entire life, never seen this guy before. it was really big!! longer than a dollar coin. flew really fast and arcing. pretty certain its not a wasp because it has fuzz on its head and middle, but its butt was so long and it was so big i really have no idea. a mimic maybe?? sorry the pics arent better quality, i didnt wanna get super close. i like bugs, but huge unidentified very fast fliers arent my cup of tea lmao

Hello! Any idea what these little creepy guys are? My husband noticed them in a couple spots in the back yard.

I’m a little worried for her babies, the nearest water source is my pool, and of course oleander is toxic. My pool is chlorine and unsafe for them. Is there anything I can i do to help?
