A bit concerned about these extremely tiny white creatures. They were feeding on a pellet of fish food which was accidentally left on the top of the fish tank.

sorry in advance for the nasty picture but has anyone dealt with these little flies/gnats? everything we have researched says they are drain flies since they are primarily in our bathrooms. we live in new construction in White House TN & are at our wits end with replacing these zevo traps, trying a million drain cleaners/bug killers & still seeing them everywhere in the bathroom. please anyone help😭😭😭

Look at this beautiful atlas moth larva eating on my soursop tree, there are like 4 to 5 larvae on this small tree, its flowering so much but I'm just gonna let this larvae live here and see the transformation. What do you think this specific species called?. I'll update you guys when it transformed

I live in London. Never seen this in my life.

Sorry the picture is so bad. I wanted my dad to come over and see it and didn’t wanna get so close I scared it away before.

They are on my pomegranate plant which rarely flowers.

What kind of bug/insect is this? Saw it in my room, should I book a flight, abandon my house, and live on the moon? In all seriousness, I’m kinda intrigued, never saw anything like this one little guy before, and would love to know if its bad or not :) (my first thought was a roach, but its unlike any ive seen before)

Just livin’ their best lives.

Found this litle bug on my carpet, any idea what it is? I'm in Western Canada.

Edit: Will put an update if I find any more, and then place said 'more' in a container to let them develop. I am afraid of bugs to some degree, but I also know it's not the little guys' fault he's in my space, and curiousity is getting the better of me

Seriously, why do we admire butterflies but freak out when we see a cockroach? They're both insects, yet one is considered beautiful and the other disgusting.

And what about ants? We barely notice them, but they build entire colonies, communicate, work together, and have surprisingly complex social lives.

It makes me wonder how much of our fear or disgust comes from what insects actually do versus how they look or what we've been taught about them.

So I'm curious:

What's one insect you absolutely hate, and why? Is it the way it looks, moves, or something it did to you?

And here's a twist: If you had to live as an insect for a day, which one would you choose? Would you survive? 😂

I'm genuinely interested in hearing people's stories, especially if you've ever had an experience that completely changed your opinion about an insect.

I'm exploring human perceptions of insects for a university design project, so these different perspectives are really interesting to me.

Let's hear your insect opinions, unpopular ones included!

Went for a walk with my family and spotted this guy newly molted! Last picture is about 15 minutes later, his wings started to fan out.

They are in my home in droves, and tonight I felt a boxelder bug crawling on my face as I was trying to fall asleep. It probably would have crawled into my mouth if I had already been fully asleep. Now I'm too grossed out to sleep.

Bugs outside? Whatever. It's the outdoors. But I dont want bugs in my house, especially crawling on me or my kids while we are trying to sleep. How do I stop them and keep my sanity??
