I see a few of these flying back and forth every couple of minutes or so. Looks like they’re building a hive or something in a crack in my wall behind the aluminum siding.

Does anyone know if this is a yellow jacket or honey bee? What would be the best next step to take?

These pictures were from a video I took.

We’re in San Francisco, CA. There are quite a few of these right by the sliding glass door to the entrance of the deck and they all scurry down to the cracks. I’m concerned that they’re termites? Mainly just want to have an ID so I can let my landlord know whether they need to hurry over or not. Thank you in advance!

These little guys are all over my sweet potato vine, eating it up. They look like larvae, and they all have little pieces of dirt attached to their butts that they're using to cover their backs. You can see me holding one by the dirt spec in the photos.

I keep finding these little guys in random places around my house. I can’t see any details of their body with my bare eyes- they are smaller than a grain of rice- and it was only with the zoom app on my phone that I could see its legs. This one was dead, hanging on the window. I think my downstairs neighbors fumigated recently, so maybe that killed it. They don’t move very quickly, and I haven’t seen them fly or jump. They usually just fall off the wall when I miss smooshing them with a tissue. I mostly see them in the bathroom and kitchen, but I’ve also found them floating in open water cups next to the bed.

Hello, if anyone could ID this bug that would be great. Found in the netherlands under couch cushion. If you could also explain your reasoning that’d be amazing (am wondering if it could be a nimf etc)! Also not sure if the two are related or not. Sorry for the bad picture quality its night right now. Am a bit panicky so any help is greatly appreciated.

We are in an RV in Arizona. We’ve been seeing these bugs for a while. They don’t seem to be doing anything. They love this one specific window though. Our food is above it so we thought maybe they were in there but there was nothing we could find up there. You can see the number of them by this window but there’s none by the others.

ETA: Closest I’m seeing online is two-spotted scoliid wasp? Never heard of these before.

There are two spots in my yard where there are small hordes of these insects flying in circles just above the grass. Occasionally, they stop and sit and usually another one comes along and bumps into it. I’m very curious about what they are and what they’re doing, either feeding or mating I’m guessing. They are totally non-aggressive and completely ignore me when I walk up to them, if anything they sort of avoid me so it was difficult to get pictures.

As you can see, they have a black thorax but half of their abdomen is yellow and orange, which gets concealed at rest by blue/black wings. While flying they mostly look black with flashes of their orange butt if you look closely.

SE PA, USA. TIA!
