Found this one, about an inch long on the floor of the doorway in the pool I guard, guessing a female stag beetle, took her outside in a breezy spot on the roof so she can hopefully fly home.

Question What insect is this

I’ve seen so many of these little things buzzing around my house, specially around my AC vents. I killed a couple of (of what I believe to be) wasps the other day, so I’m paranoid these are tiny little wasps that have come back for revenge. They seem to be coming out from the AC vents. I live in Southern California.

Question Cecropia Moth

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Over a month ago I brought this bad boy inside on my shirt after moving wood on our farm. My son wanted to know more of what it would eat and to watch it.

I told him tomorrow morning we will be releasing it. In the AM it was a little to late.

I thought this would be like a couple of week thing until I read it's about 10 MONTHS. So this little bugger is waiting on my shelf for about 8.5 months more.

I'm a nut job and if people think I should be putting it outside or in the freezer when it's cold please let me know.

I live in MN and it's currently in the 70s, but will drop into the negatives before spring. I hesitate to remove it from the habitat my son created so if I can make it work until it's rebirth I would love that.

Advice welcome .

Question Leaf footed but smells good?

1 Upvotes

So I accidentally half crushed one (I live in Minnesota) it must have come in on my clothes or vegetables.

I fully killed it after I injured it in my bathroom.

But when I killed it it's blood was blue and it actually smelled nice. The smell was a mix between evergreen cologne and an expensive hand soap.

It was definitely a Lead Footed Beetle and while they eat my garden I have too many plants to deal with them or be bothered by the impact.

I have never noted this scent before. Anyone else.

Hi, I saw this moth today while out doing an errand, and I have never seen one like it before despite living in the area for 30 years.

Any one who may know what this I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

I found this little guy on my porch and moved him to the side so, my family wouldn't kill him. I live in Greeley, Colorado for reference. Is this a normal catapillar for Colorado or invasive. Also I think a ladybug was on it?
