Please don’t say house centipede I’m not an idiot. This doesn’t look like the Japanese species which is supposedly the largest and information on house centipedes is painfully limited

This thing fell out of my bbq grill cover. Google says it's a Woolly Bear caterpillar. Never seen one before.

Their body shape is interesting, the pincers are cool and the colouration is neat. Had to 10x zoom to get the little details. Found in the desert

Smallest moths I’ve ever seen but super cute. Caught them in a hospital bathroom. If they are drain flies they are 5x the size I’m used to.

Hiked yesterday (New England) and found this bug on my head this morning. Driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is. 5mm length. Thanks in advance for any help!

yes, i am aware that it was a cow killer. i didnt touch it and stayed away, but i was absolutely mind-blown that i saw one in person!! they’re so much cooler than i thought :D

Laying eggs? Dont they keep their eggs in their homes?

Maybe half the length of my finger nail, never seen a bug like this before, seen in the state of São Paulo Brazil

I found this weird tiny thing on the floor of my parents house in DFW

I’ve had this little guy in my office for the last few days. I’m in Canberra, Aus and I think he’s a baby praying mantis but unsure

Thanks in advance.

Found in Australia

does anyone know what kind of Scorpion this is?

Found it outside and never seen a roach (?) like this before !

Hello everyone!

I am not sure if its the right place but i dont know where to ask and I am very curious, google search didnt help much.

An hour or so ago, I felt a buzz by my hair, reflexively I brushed with my hand only to have something to buzz and I panicked a lot and slapped whatever it was away. I am new to getting used to insects and I got caught by surprise. I feel really bad, whether it was a bee or wasp, I am not a “smash it” type of person, I usually “remove” myself off their way when I am afraid of bugs…

Only a little after i felt a burning feeling in my ear, then i found a this on my sleeve. When I slapped it away something yellow flew away so I assume it was a bee or wasp. I was wondering if it is possible to identify it from the pictures.

It is not for treatment purposes of course. Just curiosity. I am also not asking if it is a bite or anything. I got a few pictures. I live in Germany/Bavaria, if it helps.

Thank you in advance 🫶🏻

This happened in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. I have not given my dog one of these treats in a couple weeks. I'm hoping I would have noticed the webs or larvae before reaching in and feeding him one.

Central ohio. Surprise friends in our land snail tank.

Sorry for the terrible photos. Tiny (3-4mm) wasp showed up on my bathroom mirror this morning in Tucson, AZ, USA. I think it's the reflection that's more in focus in both images. Yellowish brown legs, dark body and ovipositor, couldn't see what color antennae were. Ovipositor makes up about 25% of body length. She seemed to be engaged in searching behavior, with flight that moved forward slowly but zig-zagged rapidly side to side. Am I correct in thinking this is probably a parasitoid species with such a proportionally long ovipositor? If so, is her host species likely to be a household pest?

I'm located in NW Oregon state. I think these are coming out of our compost spinner thing after a good rain. About an inch long.

During the summer I also kept seeing large (also about an inch long), black flying insects, perhaps flying ants, or type of wasp..? I don't have a photo unfortunately, but maybe that's helpful for ID if they are different stages of the same bug?

Thanks in advance! :)

We have red ants and stuff but I just saw this on my wall and it looks like it has a stinger or something. The two things at the bottom were further apart before I… protected myself. Mainly worried cause I have 3 cats so lmk if I should be worried or not, thanks guys!!

Any ideas? How worried should I be I already called pest control.

Found this fella in September chilling in a hedge, UK
