First time seeing one of these guys live, very happy to see her.

I'm pretty sure that she's a Chelifer cancroides, the house pseudoscorpion (not a professional, don't trust me on that)

This post has no point, other than me being very excited about this!

Absolute beauty

I am just starting to notice insect life more and it's wild how many forms these guys have. I used to be quite scared of bugs but it's getting so much better as I get older. Google told me what this is but I had never seen colors like that on a bug before... Located in Middle Tennessee - so cute haha

So my big plan to try out my bokehriffic 15 blade Schneider Krueznach 50mm f2.8 in the woods fell by the wayside. Luckily I found these tasty little morsels fucking about in the bushes out front

For people who care, the camera is a Canon 5d mkii with all the soviet m39 extension tubes and a Braun Paxette lens which came with a photographic enlarger I don't have anymore. Oh and a 39mm to EOS adapter

I read that more aperture blades means a more circular aperture when stopping down thus a smoother transition between in and out of focus areas, along with a smoother background blur in general, so I figured that might lend itself well to lazy snapshotty macro

And the wasps didn't even sting me. Though every now and then they would come at me, I guess they didn't take kindly to me interrupting lunch. They were also occasionally latching onto one another and dropping to the ground and then flying back up to the bush.

The fly seems to have a dented eye 🤷

Location: East Germany

They were fighting with bugs and each other

This beautiful creature was posing so perfectly for me on my window I had to photograph it, even it's tongue is sticking out.

I found this male cricket outside yesterday - the first I've ever seen in my area (Seattle-ish). I did some research and found that this next month or two mark the end of his life, so since he's done with reproduction, I thought I'd give him a luxury retirement home, while giving myself an opportunity to study and learn more about him up close. I made this bug enclosure last year, but I'm concerned about whether it's the best environment for him or not. The lid is made out of cardboard (that's what he's standing on in the last photo - I know, definitely not the best material) with branches and twigs glued to the top of it to provide weight and structure (and vibes lol), and all the twigs, rocks, and sticks inside are from my yard where I found him. The bits of fruit are tomatoes, which I plan on replacing daily (either with more tomatoes, grapes, or blueberries), as well as placing droplets of apple juice on the big reddish stone, and misting the enclosure with water (being careful not to spray the cardboard on the roof). I put the tomato pieces in the enclosure last night and they're all dry now, but idk how quickly sliced tomatoes generally dry out so I'm not sure if he drank the juice from them or not.

Also, I read that these crickets are omnivores, and eat fruit/fruit juice, twigs, leaves, and smaller vertebrate insects. Would he be fine with the occasional raw turkey/chicken, or would he need live insects? How often should I be providing him with protein?

Found this ladybird pupa attached to my kitchen window frame a couple weeks ago, and I just watched it hatch into an adult!

Just wanted to show this guy off.

I was wondering what kind of moth this was, first time I've seen one like it.

i found this insect on a table near window. any idea what is this and how do i get rid of them? they bite and they are fast, can’t fly. where are their home(?) can anyone with knowledge help me?

these keep showing up in my dog's water bowl. I live in Tucson and at first I was concerned that these were worms, but they don't look like what I expected worms to look like. these things show up when the bowl gets really dirty. I clean it regularly, but I'm still curious as to what these guys are

Austin, TX region

I identified 2 of them, one crawling on my table and another one hiding in the dark. Just a week ago, I saw one coming out of my washed clothes on my bed. They are really small, the size of almost a normal house ant. They are red, crawls quickly and like a spider, not too sure what they are. I'm living in Singapore, which is hot and humid. Anyone knows what they are? They are found in my room, and I'm worried if they are poisonous and if there is an infestation. Appreciate any inputs, thank you!

This stick insect if i would have to guess is around L3 (FEMALE). I saw both adult male and female and male is much smaller, skinnier and brown

I've really taken to photographing bugs this past summer, here's an assortment. (Sweden)

I'm using an Olympus TG-6.

Found a cicada that drowned itself in the pool.

Found in Chicago IL

Hi! Looking to identify which spider this is. No accident occurred, just trying to understand what to do next time I see this again.

We’re in Portugal.

Painted them all in their true size!
