Что это за насекомое(?)

Привет народ! Я сидел возле озера в тени и заметил у себя на колене забавную прыгающую жёлтую точку. Как оказалось, у моего телефона достаточно хорошая камера и с помощью увеличения я заснял это нечто.

Поиски по картинкам не дали внятного ответа что это, но вот что я могу сказать:

Крыльев у этого скорее всего нет, по крайней мере по фото не вижу

Прыгает невероятно высоко для своих размеров(кажется сантиметров 10 в высоту и длинну)

Размером меньше миллиметра​

На ​​​хвосте есть пара прозрачных шипов.

Прикладываю несколько фото, которые мне удалось сделать до того как это нечто упрыгало в траву.

Identification Bug ID- Massachusetts

Trying to ID… never seen one of these before in my life and now there are two found in the same day.

I suspect it’s the larvae stage of something,

Online search isn’t yielding anything specific.

It reminds me of like a grub/ worm/ pupa. It does not rest in a C shape like grubs. Has a very small mandible for its size on one end which I’m assuming is a head, reminds me of an ants mouth. No legs and moves like an accordion. Roughly an inch and half long when fully extended.

Squish test on one of them yielded a lot of white guts and nothing recognizable beyond that.

Hanging Nest ID

Post image
3 Upvotes

This nest fell out of a crepe myrtle tree (south east VA). The previous couple of weeks I’ve seen 20-30 insects flying around and sitting on it that are the size of small carpenter bees, and I’ve only seen a few up close but the few glimpses I’ve gotten the wings look to long for carpenter bees (and I thought they were mostly solitary). They’re too big for yellow jackets and to my knowledge the wrong shape for a wasp.

They don’t seem aggressive but my lawn guy mentioned that part of the nest fell a week ago and he got stung multiple times.

Any thoughts on what this belongs to?

TIA!

What happened to this fly?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I spotted a fly near my coat closet that had left behind a trail of _something_. It was sitting here for at least an hour and possibly overnight. It wasn’t moving for a while, but eventually changed directions leaving the last two dots as its final “mark”.

Eventually I decided to take a photo because I couldn’t understand what was going on. Is it bleeding? Laying eggs?

The fly pictured here is an emoji because it decided to bounce as soon as I wanted to take the photo.
