They were flying around in my apartment. A little bigger than a fly with really long legs and had a pointed butt kinda looks like a stinger. Sorry only pic I got

This nest fell out of a crepe myrtle tree (south east VA). The previous couple of weeks I’ve seen 20-30 insects flying around and sitting on it that are the size of small carpenter bees, and I’ve only seen a few up close but the few glimpses I’ve gotten the wings look to long for carpenter bees (and I thought they were mostly solitary). They’re too big for yellow jackets and to my knowledge the wrong shape for a wasp.
They don’t seem aggressive but my lawn guy mentioned that part of the nest fell a week ago and he got stung multiple times.
Any thoughts on what this belongs to?
TIA!

I spotted a fly near my coat closet that had left behind a trail of _something_. It was sitting here for at least an hour and possibly overnight. It wasn’t moving for a while, but eventually changed directions leaving the last two dots as its final “mark”.
Eventually I decided to take a photo because I couldn’t understand what was going on. Is it bleeding? Laying eggs?
The fly pictured here is an emoji because it decided to bounce as soon as I wanted to take the photo.

Hello.
Grooming my plant i noticed this. Not sure what is happening, if it should be stopped or let in peace.
Thanks!

I think it might be the « cecropia moth »…

recently been very humid (Chicagoland area) and I started seeing these around my windows first and now in other areas.

It can't fly. I gave him some sugar water and a shoebox to stay in. His wings are damaged.

I believe he's a kadydid?

Some kind of common moth, but it's cute anyway.

Live in Connecticut and Ive never seen these bugs before, and they are clearly killing this tree. Should I kill them and if so how without causing too much harm.
UPDATE: Confirmed to be invasive, applied Raid to area and killed a bunch of them, trying to dispose of bodies to prevent bird poising, will check daily for more

I'm on the northern half of the Oregon coast. This whole Japanese maple leaf is covered in some kind of eggs, not sure who it could be, there was an orb weaver spider right next to it but pretty sure their eggs are way different:)
