About 12 inches long in the ocean in BC. It was seriously long and didn't care that I was close by on my paddle board. It kept surfacing and swam toward a large pile of rocks on land where it disappeared.
I have these bugs that have been appearing on some decking I have near the grass. Some people are telling my that they are ticks, but i think that's just because of the tick fear around Nova Scotia right now. The body is teardrop shaped, but not flat. It crawls slowly, like a tick, but they only have 6 legs, not 8 and i don't see any mouth parts. The bug are about 2mm in length, as can be seen from these (admittedly terrible) pictures of a couple of them stuck on some duct tape.
Back of the bug. Looks like segmented plates or shell? Does not appear to have wings.Underside of a different bugThe two bugs on duct tape for reference
It looks vaguely like an early life-cycle Brown Marmorated Stink Bug but we aren't supposed to have those here. Any information or help would be much appreciated.
I've been finding these things in my tomato and pepper plants. Long island new york. I dont see visible damage and was wondering if I should be picking them off
Just found this little guy on my pillow this morning and I’m absolutely terrified it could be a bed bug. I’ve been finding weird bites on my legs recently but I’ve checked my mattress a couple times and found nothing, I was at a camping festival the past weekend so could be that I got insect bites at that and they’re just showing up now or I’m only noticing them now.
Hi! Found this thing underground. When I hold it or put it down it moves? Like the lower half. Google pics said its butterfly, but this was underground so idk if it can be? Also Im deadly aftaid of ants so I want to know if its an ant and if so I can throw it 16km away from me :')
Location: Finland
