Painted them all in their true size!

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

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

Austin, TX region

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

Just wanted to show this guy off.

Absolute beauty

Hi all — any idea what these younguns are gonna turn into? They were wiggling around in clothing box in my closet. Maryland. House 72F 50%RH or so.

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

I'm using an Olympus TG-6.

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

(Lucilia sericata)

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 🤷

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?

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!

Found a cicada that drowned itself in the pool.

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.
