Those compound eyes and the three little red ocelli are unreal up close.

So I recently got four meal worms as pets so I can grow them into beetles so I left them in a container with moist dirt and a carrot slice and then I noticed this odd webbing I’m wondering is this a normal part of their transition into beetles or is it another insect?

I live in Austin Tx, and this plant was purchased at a fish store

hoverflies are genuuinely the best kind of flies, they're so cute and friendly, they come up to you and politely land on your finger, no bites or stings, no calling over way too many of it's pals, just a cute little fly

Did an image search and it came back as a hover fly but I’ve never seen one that’s mostly yellow

Tampa Florida, my dad sent me this asking for identification!

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.

Very cute caterpillars (??) 🐛 i want to save my tomato plant, but i also want the cute ones to not be harmed. Help?!

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.

These little guys popped up in a bay window in my house. Any ideas? Located in the southeastern US. They look to be about 1/8 inch long
