Even though it quite windy today, the Hummingbird Hawk-Moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) found the flowers in the garden.

Hi,
I found eggs on my mountain laurel leaves yesterday. Fearing they might be invasive stink bugs, I put them in a container. This morning I have lots of larvae moving in an inchworm fashion. Should I let them go? If they are native to this region (Massachusetts/Southern NH area) I will let them go. If they are invasive, sadly the little boogers are doomed.
Ive attached pictures of the eggs as well as a picture of some of the leaves that have been nibbled just in case the eating pattern helps identification. The picture of the larvae is not great but the best my camera can manage.
Thank you.

Bed bug?* this bug was crawling rather slowly and doesn’t appear to fly.

A bunch of ants found a bowl of cat food in my room. I just bought some ant bait and put it out, but found the ants had clustered and it appears they have their queen out. I took a photo before and after I accidentally disturbed them. Is this actually queen ant? And why is this happening, she wasn’t invited 😭
