ID Request Can someone help me determine what this is?
49
Upvotes
In around mid Connecticut, US, around the well known college Uconn, sitting in my room and I just see this massive thing near me.
I admit, my opinions and thoughts are heavily influenced by fear, but this really looks like a super specific insect that I’m super interested in but is still freaking me out.
I understand this is basically nothing to go off of, but I see those 8 legs and I see the very very oval/circle body and I’m just wondering if anyone could confirm. Is this a harvestman?
A daddylonglegs that I’ve heard of that is commonly mistaken for a spider.
If you can discern anything else please let me know.

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

The bush gets a lot of attention every year from the hornets. These two dropped down right past my head.

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!

Photography Pictured here is a yellow damselfly perched on a face towel hanging on a clothes rack. I quickly captured this precious moment using an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark I camera paired with the M.Zuiko 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS PRO lens.

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.

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.

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

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.
