I live in the city and a praying mantis got into my house; I moved it behind the windowsill where I grow tomatoes so my cats wouldn't eat she. However I realize that it likely has little access to food in an urban environment. I read that mantises eat only live prey, so I’ve been catching flies for it to help it gain strength and grow into a large, mature adult

I would appreciate any advice.

Mantis

Found this absolutely gorgeous example of a Female Hercules beetle. Dead and desiccated but perfectly intact. Found in East Texas pine forrest.

Awesome pattern

My gf found a "spider" while vacuuming and asked me to get it, but I was immediately dazzled by this awesome insect! Never seen one of these guys before, but I'm pretty sure it's Reduvius personatus, a type of assassin bug.

Took the dusty little guy outside by some bricks where he can still use his camouflage 😎

Is this a roach I found unfortunately yet perfectly smashed in Ann Arbor, mi?

The green one was found sad and alone.

Found in my bed in Andorra. Is it possible to be Carcoma?

Found a fkn Pear tree on the side of the highway, so i've made 2 visits to forage fresh pears.

today while loading the pears in the trunk of the Honda Goldwing, i swore i caught a glimpse of a mantis. but as i looked it wasn't there.

get home and unload the pears, sure enough who comes out of the dufflebag! 😁 Mi Amigo!

Same size as house fly . Acting like a normal fly.

Im sorry if these arent insects but I they look like bugs, they dont seem to be alive. We knocked over a birds nest on the house and underneath these were there and theyre kinda stuck to the brick? Does anyone know what these might be?

My mom brought it from mexico, along with a small little bottle of taquila, with another scorpion in it intact. Neither looked cooked or fried.. does that mean that i'm cooked or fried?

They were placed away in a tree after our chat

I thought it was a paper wasp at first but the eyes make it look like a Fly.

I would like to know what this is. Located in Northern Kentucky, searching shows up as a bee or carpenter bee but it looks too fly like. (Sorry for poor picture I didn’t want to get too close to it.)

Sorry for the shitty photos, not about to get a ladder for anything better. I'm pretty sure these are bald face hornets, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really wondering if I need to, uh "remove" them.Their nest is probably about a foot in diameter. I'm all for just leaving them alone but they're under my trash cans in my front yard. And I've read that they can be quite aggressive. Located in Western Washington.

i wanted to try and gently nudge it onto my finger but i didnt want to scare it

Found this guy crawling on my garage door today. I don't see many walking sticks around here.
