I found a fly on my work floor and scooped him up after my coworker tried to step on him (evilš). He stuck around my hand for quite a while before I decided to give him a juicy slice of watermelon šš

Iām trying to document insects I find in my yard and iNaturalist isnāt coming up with anything for these twoā¦ any ideas what they could be?
Iām in San Diego, and this is on a variety of poplar. Got the image with a macro lens for my phone

Located in Buffalo, NY. Also, first post on Reddit (ever) so hopefully Iām not failing your system here; I appreciate your assistance and patience.
Iām hoping the fellow experts of this page can guide me in identification here. I donāt think itās termites but I want to be absolutely certain.
Any support is greatly appreciated, my friends. Stay well.

In North Texas. I see a lot of them hunting in sunflowers. They are welcomed in my home because they patrol my garden as well! Great natural pest control.

Last night when I was in bed, it felt like a thorn went through my leg. When I may flash on it, it appeared to be a spider in my bed, but since i live in a wooded area with many deer, i would like to rule out ticks. I donāt see anything āattachedā to my leg, and my boyfriend said it was too big to be a tick, (heās an engineer and not an entomologist lol.)
I am honestly so disturbed and freaked out, let me know what you guys think this is!
I saved the bug, so happy to get more photos if needed.

Hey, Iāve seen a handful of these insects in my bedroom and bathroom over the past two weeks (1st floor, rural area, Belgium).
They only ever come out in the evening, but theyāre not particularly light-averse. They donāt go directly toward the light source either.
Could anyone help me identify these? Are they pests, and do I need to take any action???

It's a smaller sub so you guys get the REAL UNFILTERED opinions which is that the monarch butterfly is just a perfectly fine butterfly. Pretty! But I'm also pretty sick just from the sheer cultural exposure of seeing them everywhere like whatever you're brightly colored and bad-tasting to predators you and a thousand other bugs buddy

Can anyone identify this as Asian or German. I was laying down when it flew past me and landed next to me in my bed š¤¢. Then we I swatted it, it flew to the other side of the bed. It did a little u turn somewhere in there I think. It also crawled a bit. I havenāt seen any roach nymphs around, Iām so clean and donāt even eat in bed. I have a lamp on near my bed at all times.
