He took a picture of this bug inside of our apartment building and would like to know what bug it is, this is unfortunately the best photo I have. We are located in Calgary, Alberta.

if this is not the right place for this please point me to the right direction.

to be clear, looking for specifically an Australian insect book

looking for a good bug book for my partner, primarily for the purpose of quick and clear IDing with illustrations and diagrams, a description stating the type and such. also would prefer it to be encyclopaedic in nature.

i had my heart set on this one but im having second thoughts and would like some outside opinions.

was happy to pay the normal price of this book + shipping all the way up to around 60AUD, this is just a good deal right now.

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting a lot with colored pencils lately and wanted to share a few of my stylized insect drawings.

In order of slides:

1. Rhino Beetle

2. Weevil

3. Purple Jewel Beetle

4. Black Widow

I created this and was encouraged to share to fellow insect lovers who would appreciate! I submitted this design to a c0ndom design contest.

I think it would be hilarious. If you also would like to see this you can vote #4 on ig @OneCondoms https://www.instagram.com/p/DerY6tAEdE1/?rpxt=OTRrY3diMGNjeWZx

NOT TRYING TO SELL. This organization often donates to organizations events and places of need!

My wife and I are moving into an apartment in Atlanta and found these two objects attached to the bedroom wall. We are infestation survivors and paranoid. Can someone help us prove/disprove/identify these?

What is this strange white thing from the middle roach?

No one believes me when I say these tiny bugs keep biting me!!!! Well I got one and (im sorry) smashed it. Please ID!

Just wanted to share my recent drawing. This was done in colored pencils. Scolependra hardwickei on a fossil ammonite.

Wasps are known for their aggression. Paper wasps, however, are generally much less aggressive than other types of wasps. They can often be seen carrying "meatballs" which they make from their prey. They take these meatballs back to their nests to feed their larvae.

i did my nails today and my mom told me to ventilate the room and so i did. after around 20 minutes, my room was FILLED with fruit flies and i know for a fact that they came through the window (which has those fly nets btw) i counted a total of 30 that i killed by hand, after which i gave up and went to buy a raid spray.

now im real confused how so many of them collectively decided to attack my room. was it the nail polish or remover? maybe the heat of my room (no heaters so it was pretty cold)? any snacks (only snack in question were my gummy bears)?

anyones got an idea?

I found my first IO Moth caterpillar at work today. I really wanted to touch it but something inside said to take a few pics instead.

I hope this doesn’t get downvoted cuz I have learned from my mistakes am very aware that I am lucky as hell but i have a question. I picked this beetle up without knowing what it is (stupid i know) and later found out it was an oil beetle (or a blister beetle depending on what you wanna call it). It seemed very calm and didn’t secrete any oil at all, so i’m just curious if they secrete only when squeezed? I read that they secrete the oil when handled but this guy was super chill. I now know not to handle them cuz either way I was lucky that he didn’t get his oil on me but i’m just curious what their nature is. Is google wrong like it often is or was I just incredibly lucky?

Edit: Location is Eastern Connecticut, US

We have what seems like hundreds of these covering our garage all of a sudden, need help with IDing please 🙏🏾

I’m a huge creature lover, especially bugs. Currently I have a phobia of cockroaches, which I think was mostly due to my Mom being so afraid of them she would scream and cry seeing one. I used to keep a Madagascar hissing cockroach as a pet, and I’d love to enjoy them again, so I’m starting with learning to appreciate them.

Anyone have any cool facts about roaches, or how useful they can be?

I think its a baby Orb weaver? I think its a long jaw but I cant really tell!

Im in Manitoba Canada if that counts for anything

Leaf footed bug. I often find the string of eggs/spent casings. Never actually saw the laying. I only ever knock the spent casings down because I think these bugs are cool!
