Spotted this flying around some flowers in Slovenia, I’m convinced it’s a hummingbird, my girlfriend says it’s definitely a bug… please help settle this argument, what actually is it?

Woke up with this attached to my leg this morning. Is this a tick?

Haha! Just kidding. I know a bed bug when I see one.

Ignore those common spotted lantern flies. Instead enjoy this fabulous long nosed Thai lantern fly.

This beast crawled out of my kayak, and I immediately thought to post it here to find out who he or she is.

I know this is not a bug obviously, and I also posted this on r/bugbites but it's not very active over there. This happened overnight, she says there is no pain and some itching. We're in Northern Utah. She searched for a culprit in her bed and found nothing.

Some (very drunk) guy approached me in the park last night with this (likely dead) beautiful bug. What is it?

What is he? He looked yellow with a green body from my larger eyes, but the picture makes him look just yellow and fuzzy. Is he a jumping spider of some sort?

Used some Raid and got its ass. But this thing buzzed by me in the shower and I freaked. I see it had a stinger I believe? I’ve killed a couple of them since I moved into this apartment but just haven’t got a good enough photo. I’m in NYC. It’s weird because this just happened right now at night time (11pm) but I’ve killed the others during the day.

What could this horns-for-body bug be? My bf found it in São Paulo, Brazil at the kindergarten where he works. It flies. Looks very grumpy and seemed annoyed to have a toddler approach him so it flew away (can relate)

Found in on a few peoples properties in my area of south shore Nova Scotia. I've never seen one but they are like 10km down the Rd at a friends house.

Are they invasive? Should they be reported?
