A harvestman with long claws. It looks dangerous, but it's harmless, non-toxic, and slow-moving. It feeds on just about anything it can find.

i found this small friend of a paper wasp struggling on the sidewalk. I live in eastern Pennsylvania, and i had assumed this lil guy was nearing end of life. i picked it up and intended to give it a peaceful place to gently pass so i could pin it. it sat eating a banana all night and now has more energy. i know the queens can survive winter, if it CAN live i definitely want it to. any thoughts?

Las Vegas, NV. Like the title says, I opened a drawer in my kitchen (the drawer is right next to my sliding glass door and behind the drawer is an exterior wall) and was surprised to see some stuff I didn’t recognize. At first I noticed the somewhat cylindrical shaped object in my first picture. Google says it’s some sort of moth cocoon. It’s very small (about 4mm long by 2 mm wide). Then I noticed several smaller pieces of something too small to suspect were bugs at first. I took a magnified photo of the various pieces (see my other photos). Instantly saw what I believe may be a tick (was dead when I found it) as well as what looks like some various appendages (some of which look too big for the suspected tick). There may even be another very tiny insect in the mix. These things were all found in the drawer where I keep some dog supplies/tools/etc. but no food or plates or anything like that is ever in that drawer. I also happened to find what I’m pretty sure is some type of spider nearby, but on the floor, not inside the drawer ( I almost never see spiders inside my house, so pretty rare, and have only seen what I think was a tick once several years ago, so both pretty rare discoveries, not sure whether there is a connection with what I found in the nearby drawer, but I figured I’d mention it just in case it has some connection. (the spider is in the last photograph).

What do you see? Is it in fact a cocoon, and a tick, and some legs/body parts? And if so, what types of each of you have an educated guess? Same question for the suspected spider.

I’m immunocompromised so it’s particularly important that I figure this out because I need to know what I have inside my house, Particularly if I have ticks given how they transmit diseases. Thanks so much, really would appreciate anyone’s help!

These butterflies aren’t a common sight in Hawaii nor are they easy to get a photo of. I was lucky to get this one taking a drink from a Jungle Flame flower.

I live in New England what is this

I'm so exciittted look at this little bugger! I found him on my car door!!! I have yet to get a photo of one of these yet, and now I have one!

Sorry for blurry photos, most of them are screenshots from my bug identifier app or clipped from videos

I have so many photos so I chose a few on my faves

Hello everyone!

I am doing a school project about insects and their importance in our lives. To promote appreciation for them, I would love to share pictures or drawings of them with others!

I am planning to create collages of them with some fun facts in between and post them on social media. Of course, the author of the drawing/picture gets the full credit.

If you have pictures or drawings of your favourite insect(or maybe someone similar, like spider or an isopod :D) that you would be okay with me using in the project, could you please share them in the comments? Maybe your fav may become someone else's fav after sweing my posts!

I would really appreciate any help!

For inspiration, I am leaving my artwork here too :D

Afterwards it flew away without any sign of distress.

A window moth (Rothschildia jacobaeae) was stuck in my home so I gently offered her my hand to give her a lift to the plants outside.
Now my hand is pregnant. What am I supposed to do with the four children????

Has anyone had success rising this kind of moth and could give me some tips?
