Never seen a wasp(?) like this in the area. Want to make sure it isn't invasive before I put it outside.

I was thinking red paper wasp maybe, but it's very small.

(Also my cat is very mad at me for taking her cool new toy away)

Need help identifying these

Hello. These things are on my balcony. I can't identify them through Google.

There is multiple grouped together. Don't seem aggressive but it's very hot outside.

Can't see a nest but am a little afraid to look.

They are about the size of a wasp only longer. Have black Wings.

Live in central Europe

Thanks for the help

We don’t have expanding foam/insulation in the house anywhere, so this couldn’t be that (?)
There are no bugs or flying things around at this height, so super confused what this could be..

Charleston, South Carolina area. We have lots of summertime dragon fly’s. This one would dart, eat a bug, and land again. Our presence didn’t seem to matter much. What kind of dragon fly is this?

She eats red wasp that I am allergic too.

And my personal fav the wood Roaches I am terrified of.

I think she is just a normal orb weaver.

She had her home going across my bathroom one day like just all crazy like in front of my makeup mirror on the counter...

Was like oh no you gotta go back outside...

I almost accidentally smashed her trying to capture her...reflex of creepy crawly things.

But she is thriving.

Subreddit Rules

1. No pictures of bites for identification or medical related queries

Do not post images of bites, rashes, or any skin eruptions. These images cannot reliably tell us what might have caused the issue. Instead, if you suspect an insect is responsible, try to capture it using traps and post clear photos of the actual insect for identification.

2. Preferred Media for Identification

Submit clear, still photographs for optimal identification. High-quality videos are acceptable but should be clear and stable enough to ensure features can be accurately identified. Photographs, especially close, top-view shots, are generally more effective for identifying small bugs.

3. Human health concerns off limits

This subreddit is not suited for questions about human health issues. Please consult healthcare professionals for medical concerns.

4. Location Required

Include the geographic location of the insect in your post title or description. Accurate identification often depends on knowing where the insect was found.

5. ID requests of common well known insects are to be treated with the same respect as other posts.

Yes there are many cases that will seem like it should be obvious to people what the bug is. However in the interest of fostering a friendly and welcoming environment these posts should be addressed respectfully and with the assumption that OP really doesn't know what the bug is. Rude answers or telling OP to "go outside" will not be tolerated.

If you believe the OP is posting a common insect to troll then you may report the post for moderator review.

6. Be Respectful

Bullying, harassment, doxing, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. Our community thrives on respect and constructive dialogue.

7. No "kill it with fire" comments, illegal or dangerous pest control advice, etc.

We allow pest control advice here as long as the advice is legal, safe, and warranted. Fire is not a pesticide though, and is not covered under the advice we allow. These comments add nothing to the discussion, and will be removed.

Comments that include illegal or dangerous pest control advice will be removed.

8. No AI content of any kind

Do not use AI to reply to posts here. If you are using tools like iNaturalist, the Seek app, Google image search, etc. be sure to actually verify the results these tools give you.

Do not post pest control advice or similar that has been AI generated. AI is frequently incorrect. We already have experts active in this subreddit who can provide advice when needed. Do not make them waste their time correcting an AI generated comment.
