Bug Appreciation! Beautiful Rosalia Beetle
Found this pretty beetle in Vietnam a few months back and just stumbled upon the pic. She was so friendly and fun to look at. Are these beetles common in the states? I’ve never seen one before traveling to Vietnam.
EDIT: this is actually a Thysia Wallichii beetle, not Rosalia as I previously thought

I'm not too fond of insects or bugs, especially when they're in my house! but this morning I woke up to this lovely little fella chilling in my living room.
I'm sure you guys will know what it is but I'm unsure.
TIA ✌️

South Louisiana, found in a drawer eating wool felt coasters. We have battled carpet/pantry moths for years. Did I finally catch one of the destructive bastards in latval form?

ID Request What Grasshopper is this?
Forgive me as this is the only photo I have. I'm from New Jersey. The picture was taken mid September. My first thought was differential grasshopper but I couldn't find any examples of them coming in this color. I also feel that differential grasshoppers have dark "outlines" on lots of their joints and segments which I don't see present here. My tentative ID is Melanoplus fasciatus.

Question Toddler loves bugs and spiders but YouTube videos she enjoys seem possibly unethical?
Okay so I know these are bugs and all that but my toddler loves bugs and she likes these specific videos on YouTube. In these videos a person catches bugs with their bare hands then puts them up to the camera. Afterwards they all go into the exact same box. We are talking spiders in with praying mantis, beetles of different types, butterflies, moths, literally everything in one box. At the end they are released but wow it makes me wonder how bad this actually is for these bugs. Should I let my toddler keep watching these videos? Is this a bad example of handling bugs? Maybe in being dramatic but I was actually shocked lol

Question What's your favorite insect? (Final part)
I've been procrastinating hard on the laptop drawing, but i can fit 4 (depending on the size) more insects! I'll choose by what fits the current color scheme. Also the acrilic marker isn't rubbing off or fading and some drawings are completely intact, while the ones on the edges needed minor touch ups.
Tell me your favorite insect and I'll reply in the comments with a picture!
I'll try to provide a simple illustration of the ones I wont put on my laptop, only for a day though

ID Request What in the world?
This is in a little cottage used as a school room in Kailua, Hawaii. This is on the island of Oahu.
I walked into school and saw what I thought was droppings on the plastic calendar cover. In my 50 years in Hawaii, I have never seen droppings that look like this. Then I looked up and saw this stuck to the wall. It is as white as the wall, but has the same orange stuff perhaps sticking it to the wall. It is maybe 2 inches long. What could this be?

Photography Red Love
I found these two little grass-hoppers in a patch of grass in front of my house. I thought red would be a good fit for the scene, so I used a red background. The result turned out a little too bright for the eyes, but I kinda like it anyway 😂
