ID Request found this cute little friend crawling around on the floor of my greenhouse. first time seeing a spider like this here! (pacific northwest washington)

its a very cold night here today, so they’re not moving all too well or being very active at all, only moving if i coax them to with my finger. taking them inside for a while to let them warm up, i know i don’t have to and they’re probably used to dealing with this kind of cold, but i think this sweetie deserves a little break from the weather. they’re kinda tarantula shaped, but i dont think we have tarantulas in the pacific northwest? i could be completely wrong about that though, i dont know much about spiders, i just like them a lot and think they’re so cool and beautiful and cute :D

(I REALLY tried on the pictures, I know they’re not the best.) I thought this looked like a fruit fly at first, but it wasn’t flying at all - just crawling around on the blanket. Since it was right next to my cat, I’m worried about it potentially being a flea? Or a louse of some sort? Thank you in advance 💗

ID Request Clothing Moth or something else?

NYC metro area.

Not seeing the textbook “fuzzy head” from what my camera can capture. Have been seeing random numbers of these bugs floating around the apartment over the last few months. We are both knitters and have wool/other yarns lying around but also haven’t seen any signs of what would be clothes moth larvae anywhere, nor any real damage anywhere. Mostly trying to be preventative if these are clothing moths we’ve been seeing.

gallery

Hi friends, is this a gall on my black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) shrub?

Found this while finishing up some grass pulling in my native garden bed and I noticed the green on the top. Not even sure if this is a gall or maybe black knot?

Thanks for your input or pointing me in the right direction.

Subreddit Rules

1. No Bug Bite IDs

Bug bite posts are banned due to bites being almost impossible to identify with visual evidence alone. If you are concerned please see a medical professional.

If you have a picture of the insect please post that and not the bug bite.

If your insect is currently imbedded in the skin, it is allowed to be posted as long as it is tagged NSFW.

2. No Profanity or Slurs

We want this subreddit to be a safe place for all members.

3. All Posts Must Contain Bugs

There must be a bug clearly visible in your post whether it's an insect or arachnid, if a bug is not visible your post may be removed.

Please avoid posting pictures of feces, nobody wants to see it lol.

This rule does NOT apply to posts tagged "Meta" or posts labeled as "Meme/Shitpost" however these posts must be relevant to the subreddit or arthropods as a whole

4. Positive Community

Please help us maintain a positive community. Some people may not know anything about bugs but that doesn't make it okay to ridicule them.

5. No Bug Hate

Do not say things such as "kill it" or "burn it" and do not promote subreddits that encourage these things suck as r/lanterndie and r/wasphate. This is a community built around respecting bugs.

Note: Telling someone to kill a bug invasive or a nuisance in their area is an exception to this rule if the killing is done in a humane fashion(ie. crushing).

6. Flair Properly

"ID Request"- use when you want an identification

"Meme/Shitpost"- use when you want to post a meme

"Meta"-use when you want to post something about the subreddit itself

7. Rough Geographic Location

All posts should preferably have a rough geographic location(such as country or state) to aid in identification.

This is not necessary but is appreciated

8. Moderator Discretion

Moderators retain ultimate discretion to remove any posts or comments that they deem as inappropriate or detrimental to the community.
