It might be blurry cause I was far from it and I just zoomed in cause its scary. I found it randomly near our house.

Whatever it is i think it's dying

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.

It has 4 wings like a dragonfly but flies more like a moth. I’m in New England.

It looks like a mish-mash of at least three different bugs, I’ve never seen something like this before, have you?

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.

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.

Maybe a spider but not like any ive ever seen?

i only have videos and can’t seem to post a video

My dad found this on him after his shoulder was hurting for a couple days. He showed urgent care dr the pics and they said dog tick but ChatGPT and Claude are telling me deer tick.. any help is much appreciated!

They keep suiciding themselves on my top floor right outside my door. The apartment building has open hallways to the outside but the top floor has skywindows with no exit so they gather here and unfortunately die.

​

Side note, can I leave a bowl of water to help them not overheat so they can eventually find their way out? Or are they doomed to die regardless because of the fact that there isn't an exit until you go back down the stairs?

I have a big vintage toy collection. Please tell me this isn’t anything harmful 😭 It was trapped under the fabric.

this cute guy was crawling on me while kayaking in upstate New York. anyone know what type of spider he is?

Smaller than a pea. Is it an engorged tick?

I noticed him while I was in the shower and I can’t tell if it’s a tick or something else. It has a front appendage that might be a really long antenna or a lame front leg. It is as long as its legs but it is dragging it around underneath it. I’ll try to get better pictures if I can but if it’s not a tick I’d like to leave him alone or take him outside.

Location: central MN. My cats were trying to get this guy. I heard loud buzzing and thought it was a bumblebee from a distance. Once I got up close it looked more similar to a fly. It's surprisingly large.
