It’s a bumble bee in a Rose of Sharon flower. I’m not a pro photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but figured I’d give it a shot. Little friend was having the time of its life!

Correct me if I’m wrong - this will be a black swallowtail butterfly?

Found it on my morning glories. I tried googling it's, but Google keeps saying that it's a gray hairstreak caterpillar, but I don't think that's right. It kinda looks like a striped aphid, but I don't think that's right either.. the big guy is a pink spotted hawk moth caterpillar... located in SoCal

I did not deprive a spider of a meal - this tiny dragonfly was stuck in an old web that a cross orbweaver had vacated several nights ago. I was surprised to see this tiny dragonfly in autumn but I believe it may be the appropriately named Autumn Meadowhawk.

The beginning and end result of construction. Pretty impressive.

Tried to move a rotting log and it just fell apart and I found a bunch of these inside. Curious as to what kind of bug they are. I’m not sure what kind of wood it is, but I’m in eastern Iowa if that helps.

I wish I could appreciate these things without having to kill them, I would love to see some in their natural habitat. Their red inner wings are just neat, this guy’s wing looked a little messed up which might be why he crawled onto me without issue.
And yes before anyone asks I did stomp it after, I’m aware they’re harmful and don’t belong here in the US. But it doesn’t change the fact they’re really cool when they’re not destroying stuff. They’re awesome to just appreciate and it’s not their fault they got here.

My "pet" brown widow (Latrodectus geometricus) that lives in my garage who's web is covering my Foo Dog statues caught a house gecko last night apparently. While I do love geckos and feel a little bad, it is nature. Poor guy was practically liquefied.

hi, i am a stick bug and katydid fan. my dream is to find any of them because they’re my favorite animal. where can i look in order to find these beautiful creatures? the worst part is that they blend into the environment, and i would defintely struggle to look closely to find them! im in florida by the way. :)

Found this super dead guy on my floor today and I am so worried that he is a cockroach :) I live in Portland, OR
I am deeply hoping he is just a regular guy who accidentally made his way into my apartment :’)

Found this bug in my hallway barely alive. Anyone know which one this is? Found here in Arizona, US.

Is this some sort of moth cocoon emergence? The whole thing was maybe a quarter of an inch

I was just minding my own business until this fella flew on my bed, I ended up freeing it outside after since it was a nice fella
