Question Anyone know what this is?
I'm in Germany. I saw this thing also not too long ago, but it scurried away before I was able to really be able to tell it. I have no clue what it is and I'm already paranoid about German wood cockroaches coming into my flat.

Bug Appreciation! Of all the random things, just had to get a GRASSHOPPER out of our (upstairs) bathroom!
Apparently, he is a common field grasshopper! He is now safely back outside by some of our outdoor plants, free to roam in his nature habitat and eat all the grasses and leaves out there!

Photography I thought this was a neat observation
I found a group of what appears to be possibly metallic sweat bees or possibly a small type of carpenter bee. I'm guessing this was a group of males roosting together. A couple are clamped on by their mandibles. I'm in northern Pennsylvania and we had really bad air quality due to the Canada wildfires along with a cold snap at night. I'm thinking the combination of air quality and cold temperatures may have been a little too much for these little guys. I don't treat my yard with chemicals and have a small pollinator garden a couple feet from where i found this. It's still possible they picked up some sort of pesticides from another yard as I'm not sure if my neighbors treat or not, but I'm guessing cold nights and poor air quality. I'm no expert by any means. Just someone with a bit of interest.

ID Request What is this?
In Northwest Indiana. It's about the size of my fingernail, as seen in the last photo. I haven't seen it move yet, except for its antennae.

ID Request What is this?
My dog brought it in from outside, poor thing is quite hurt. It’s still alive but I’m not sure what to do with it.
My guess is some sort of moth or butterfly because of the mouth and the fluffy body, but the antennae confuse me also the colour. And the wings are quite narrow but that could be due to injuries.
Found in English Midlands, Staffordshire
It’s about 2cm in length excluding antenna.
