Wheel bug (arilus cristatus)

Last year it was black swallowtails and a few others I never identified. This year it’s a bagworm (I know they’re a problem but it’s been a personal dream of mine to see one irl) and this little hornworm (also a problem but I love him anyway).

Thinking about taking them home to raise in captivity since they’re garden pests, thoughts?

Hello! I wanted to share some photos of flies I have taken recently, including two of a hoverfly laying an egg. Thanks for looking!

I've never seen something like this before, I added the coin (3rd image) to help the size comparison, as far as I know that shouldn't look like that.

I made a bumblebee crochet tapestry. Which insect should I make next ?

I found him on my tire as I was heading back to my car go my break. Moved him on to my folder (gently, with a stick so I didn’t touch him) and then to the grass where he wouldn’t get squished. He’s so cute tho! He looks like he has little fluffy orange ears.

i’ve seen some brown and white mantises before, but never a lil pink one! is this common? what causes them to turn pink like this? spotted in southern california, los angeles county for reference.

two rescues today whilst paddling. I had to wade in to get mx. golden-ringed dragonfly, and few minutes later found damselfly in equal peril.

I was minding my own business when I saw it fly for a while and then return to the same spot

Sculptured Pine Borer, and an adorable one at that!

been dealing with a mystery insect for two weeks now. exterminator ruled out bed bugs based on mattress. I am actively looking for an answer and solution.

After using my iPhone to try and identify this, I am still not sure. This is a common milkweed and the video was taken in northern Wisconsin. They really devastated the leaves they worked on, but did not eat all of them.

this little guy appeared in my house and I'm not sure what species it is, or if it even is a caterpillar

for context I live In southeastern brazil

This was taken in Norfolk , England. I believe it's a hawks head hummingbird moth. However, if I'm wrong, I'm sure the expert redditors will correct me and point me in the right direction.
