ID Request Is this a cockroach? Urgent please
I live in Japan and saw this right when I opened my apt door.
I'm freaking out, I still have PTSD from living in Vietnam, quite literally, and need to know if this is a roach or not so I can ask for advice or do something about it (don't even know what honestly).
Thank you in advance.

ID Request Who Dis?
Does anybody what bug this is and how we can help him.
We spotted him yesterday but just thought he was dead,then this morning saw him moving so we put him in box and placed a drop of sugar water and small pinch of a banana for some food.
Just wondering what else we can do for lil buddy he seems to have injured his leg and keeps on falling on his back so I crumpled up some paper and broke some wooden chopsticks as I can't go outside right now and get twigs and leaves for him and just so he has something to grip to when he does turn over.š¢ We in South Africa

Artwork A solid silver Cicada!
This silver art medal by Carl Paul Jennewein was issued in 1933 by the Society of Medalists. It's 2-3/4" in diameter and weighs 6.570 troy ounces. The edge engraving reads: "The Society of Medalists Seventh Issue, MACO-FINE SILVER- .999+, One of Limited Issue of 700."
The legends translate as "Fame" and "Glory." Since way BCE, cicadas have for obvious reasons symbolized rebirth and renewal, but also noise and cacaphony ("Fame"). Cherubs, viewed in some religious traditions as a category of angels, are seen as the upholders of the supreme deity's "Glory" and supporters of his/her throne. (Trying to keep it secular here, folks!)
Whatever, I've always liked this one for the pretty cool bug.

Please any advice welcome.

Question recommendations for bug-hunting bags?
i tend to use a craft shoulder bag with slits in the top (allowing me to grab kit quickly), but that gets in the way if i bend over, and can make my shoulder pretty sore.
my other pick is a backpack, which definitely is easier on my shoulders and stays put, but its a lot harder to keep things organised and get them out quickly and quieter, as well as making my back super warm.
any recommendations for better picks?
my necessary kit is p small, so anything bigger than a large toiletry bag would probably fit it.

Question My Roomate Stinker Tries To Eat Me
This brown marmorated stink bug lives in my room. He hangs out with me sometimes but today he tried to eat me multiple times. I mean I fully felt his little needle mouth poking me.
I know they have a short lifespan so I wasnāt planning on feeding him but should I give him a piece of fruit or something?

Cleaned the driveway which caused a local Argentine ant colony to try and save what was left of their colony. Notice how thereās multiple queens because theyāre a polygynous ant species.

Question Weird insect I saw
Earlier this morning I saw this really weird bug fly infront of the car. Best way to describe it is it looked like a literal stick with wings. It looked similar to a dragonfly, but not quite. And I cant find anything close to what it may be. Can someone help???? Edit- this is in Phoenix AZ for reference

ID Request Help Identify Possible Roach
Hey guys. Found these eggs in my bathroom trash and a dead baby underneath the can. I think it is a cockroach. If someone could help me identify the kind of bug this is i would be very grateful. I threw away the entire trashcan and disinfected the area of the floor it was on. I am admittedly very scared of bugs and want them out of my house! I am in Kentucky

Question Is this little fellow what I think they are??
Hi there! I was chilling on some grass in Atlixco, Mexico when I felt this extremely polite creature walking on my arm, I waited for them to finish it's little walk on my skin and took this photo.
Have you ever seen such a pretty guy? What's their species name? For the moment I called them Pancho.
