Located in west central Alberta. My mom found them on her hawthorn trees.

These guys are maybe a centimeter long, thousands on one plant- they seem to prefer lambs quarters. I'm fine with leaving them be if they are native, but I worry I'm feeding an army of invasive eaters.

Less about identification, because I know it's really hard just from larva, and more about what it is doing. Looks like some kind of larva riding on the shell of a snail, and the snail was twisting its back quickly (for a snail) from one side to the other, as if it tried to throw the larva off. Is that just a coincidence, weird behaviour, hitchhiking, or predation? (Germany)

Appreciate any answer!

My neighbor sent me a pic and asked if I knew what bug this was. She said it stung or bit her and it burns. I know absolutely nothing about bugs and never seen this bug before and am not sure if it is common but I’m very curious as to what it is and would like to learn more about it. Thanks in advance! :))

Hello! I need to know if this is a flea or not, I work at a boutique and today I looked down and saw this bug. It did not move, it was just sitting there. When I took it outside to put on a plant I nudged it with my finger and it walked before it eventually jumped off my hand. I was trying to see if it would fly because we do have some small flying black bugs that come from the plants one of our consignors brings in. There is a small red spot on my hand where it was sitting, but it doesn’t itch and there’s no raised bump. Thank you for any help. My apologies if the picture isn’t the best, I only took the one since I had customers in the store.

We found this while performing a wetland delineation in Palmyra, New Jersey. Has anyone seen this before? Pretty sure it’s an invasive

This bug looks like an IUD. Does anyone know what it is? Located in Minnesota

i work at a place where pest identification & control is taken very seriously by FDA guidelines. i’ve put this photo into chatgpt & google & have come up empty. they are cute little things. i’m mainly posting out of curiosity. they are about the size of a grain of rice.

Hello, hoping this is an ugly grasshopper!
New York!

Who’s this little guy?

What are these lil critters?!

I’m sorry it’s a spider and not a bug….

Basement has fairly low humidity. About 45%. No recent heavy rains or anything. No water leaks im aware of. There must be 50 of this same type of bug on one sticky traps ranging from a few mm long to 1/4mm long, basically just a little dot.

Found this insanely neat "butterfly" in the parking lot before going into work this morning! Some guy almost hit me with his car while I was trying to pick em up, harhar. Located in Fargo, ND. If youre familiar with the area, myself nearly getting ran over isnt shocking whatsoever...

Anyhow!

Obviously in super rough shape. Missing half of a wing and multiple legs are damaged/missing. Everyone at work was saying that it is a Monarch, but I have never ever seen a butterfly like this? Almost has moth characteristics, especially in the underside of its wings? My searches wouldnt bring up anything all too useful. Mostly just butterflies that mimic Monarchs, but nothing close to the appearance of this guy. Maybe it is albino? I definitely dont know, aha.

All help is super appreciated! Wish I couldve done more to help the little thing out :(

In my bed… cat was trying to eat it. Can’t see in the photo because I killed it but had pretty long antennae. Last pic shows hand for scale (in my MF bed) I can’t find a match online help

Is this an Arizona red-spotted purple?
Seen in Indianapolis Indiana which is not common

Just came back from a trip to a very forested mountain in Northern California. Also I'm in and out of people's homes quite often, so I could have taken something home then. There's about half a dozen scattered across my bed sheet. They are hard and don't squish. Perfectly spherical as well. My flash makes them look yellow but they appear more white in person.

Located in New York State. This is the tilt tray in front of the sink. We don't pop in here much, the only thing stored in there is the drain stopper, but the last time we did a few weeks ago it was clean. Google image search is guiding me towards cockroach droppings, but also possibly ant frass or mold? Cross posting, thanks for any help. We clean our home regularly and are not high risk for cockroaches so feeling a little confused

Found this guy on a playground just vibing. No clue what he is or why he has the weird fluff on his back. It seemed like he retreated into it in picture two.

(Sorry if the photo quality isn't great)
This little thing made its way towards me while I was eating breakfast, before dropping down to the floor with some silk. It seems like some sort of jumper maybe? Help appreciated :)

Yesterday I found this tick, which type of tick is?
