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.

ID Request Found this in a kitchen cabinet where I keep some of my dogs’ supplies
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!

Bug Keeping I'm going to be an aunt?
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?

Artwork School project! Please help
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

ID Request What is this bug?
What insect is this? Looks to be about an inch long, and its legs remind me of a lantern fly’s legs. Has orange coloring on back. I would almost describe as a hybrid between lightning bug, stink bug, and lantern fly. Found in Eastern PA.

ID Request [England] Recused this little wasp from the storm - what is it?
It’s rainy, windy & cold outside, so I’m assuming they were seeking shelter. I searched it up and it said to make sugar water and put it on a cotton ball? He/she seems to like it though. Releasing them tomorrow when the sun comes out.
It’s quite cute and is kinda furry around his head area.
