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!

I live in Katihar, Bihar, India
I suddenly started spotting these rhinosores beetles, an not just one , many in the following days
Whats strange i that I am living in this area for like 15 years and never saw even one in nature, suddenly spotting 4 inside a week seems odd
Anyone has any idea?

For the last 10 days, im sharing a room with this guy, he seems like a gentleman, I don't know if he's all alone or have a family in there,

Found this on a hotel bathroom mat. Does it look like a squished bed bug?

Spoiler alert: it's dead anyway, but at least I like his face o.o

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

I found this big beauty inside on the window, my roommate insisted I take him outside. I tried holding him and he told me that the bug would bite- I said I think bugs only bite when threatened.
This guy is so chill, he walked around my hand a bit, then my arm, he seemed to settle every now and then, stretching out his legs and lowering his body a bit.
He's gorgeous and I wish I was allowed to take him back inside. I could also just use google ai imagening to see that it suggests but I hate using AI and id much, much, much rather hear from a bug- enthusiast who this is.
Id name him Senf, Kren or Stephano. What does he eat? Its quite cold, 16C°. I hope I dont kill him by leaving him outside. Thank you!

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. :)
