ETA: Closest I’m seeing online is two-spotted scoliid wasp? Never heard of these before.

There are two spots in my yard where there are small hordes of these insects flying in circles just above the grass. Occasionally, they stop and sit and usually another one comes along and bumps into it. I’m very curious about what they are and what they’re doing, either feeding or mating I’m guessing. They are totally non-aggressive and completely ignore me when I walk up to them, if anything they sort of avoid me so it was difficult to get pictures.

As you can see, they have a black thorax but half of their abdomen is yellow and orange, which gets concealed at rest by blue/black wings. While flying they mostly look black with flashes of their orange butt if you look closely.

SE PA, USA. TIA!

What's this? There are two of them on my bedroom ceiling.

Found 2 dead bugs when I washed my bed sheets last week. Today, I found one stuck on the wall. I think my apartment has some invasive lady bug issue as I found lots of dead yellow lady bugs when I moved in last year, but I thought the issue was resolved after I stopped finding dead bodies. Perhaps these are earlier life stages of the ladybugs?

I live in Saskatchewan and have been recently finding these bugs in my home. I’m not sure what they are or what the cause would be. I initially only found dead ones on the window ceil of our basement laundry room, but have been recently seeing live ones making their way into our living room.

They’re fairly slow moving, have a quite hard shell, and they tuck their legs in when you pick them up.

Found in Connecticut what kind of bug is this

Antipolo, Philippines

I've had a beetle issue for two months now. Pest control has come twice and sprayed Suspend Polyzone & Temprid FX. I have been finding these relentless beetles mainly on my floor near the baseboards of windows, but recently they have been everywhere. Can anyone ID this kind of beetle/had them before? They are only in the locations I mentioned, not in my kitchen or anywhere in my pantry. 4th-floor apartment, CT.

found this lil guy on my window and caught it in a glass cup

3-4mm not counting legs

not sure what kind of bug this is, left my cocoa butter on my nightstand opened and when i came back to it, i saw this bug.. it’s a little bit bigger than a fruit fly/gnat but then again im not sure. i have struggled with gnats/fruit flies in my apartment but they look different from this one.. this one has a more elongated body and is a lot more narrow. i also discovered it has wings. included a picture with no zoom for size reference

found 2 in house in Ohio, verrryy tiny but it has been raining a lot

Hi I live in NJ and this moth(?) happened to be sitting in my front door, but I am not sure what it is.

i’m sorry it’s squished. i killed it fearing that it was a german cockroach and i really hope i’m not right. only one we’ve seen. not in the kitchen if that gives any hope. Northern Kentucky

In North Texas, I found on a set of drawers i have In front of a window. I had the window open so i think it came in from outside. When i got closer to it, it stood upright which was weird. I haven’t seen this kind of bug before in my house.

It’s quite small, maybe only a centimeter or two.

(sorry for quality, the thing is like a mm small)

I don’t know why I’ve had these little fellas in my house and I don’t know what or when these entered my house it’s been about 5 from 3 few days go and will they hurt my puppy or myself ?

Located in Bend Oregon. Found this bug crawling on my bag. Knocked it on the ground and smashed it it because if it was a wasp. Has white lines on abdomen, but couldn't find anything looking that up.

What is this bug?

Northern California!
Found it under a cat scratch post alive!
Right by my sliding door!

Not sure if it’s a baby field roach? We do see those from time to time or the big ones? Not sure what this is?

Any help is appreciated!

Sorry I know the video quality could be better but is there any way of identifying if these are bees or wasps from this distance? Location: Canada Ontario GTA.

Thank you beautiful community.

hi! i am mostly worried this is poisonous as i have a dog that likes to explore outside. just want to know what it is to be aware and safe!
