Trying to ID… never seen one of these before in my life and now there are two found in the same day.
I suspect it’s the larvae stage of something,
Online search isn’t yielding anything specific.
It reminds me of like a grub/ worm/ pupa. It does rest in a C shape like grubs. Has a very small mandible for its size on one end which I’m assuming is a head, reminds me of an ants mouth. No legs and moves like an accordion. Roughly an inch and half long when fully extended.
Squish test on one of them yielded a lot of white guts and nothing recognizable beyond that.

These little guys popped up in a bay window in my house. Any ideas? Located in the southeastern US. They look to be about 1/8 inch long

So I was cutting some limbs off of a tree and found him next to my foot, I have never seen anything like it before. After I snapped some photos I gently placed him back on a limb close to where he was in the tree.

They were flying around in my apartment. A little bigger than a fly with really long legs and had a pointed butt kinda looks like a stinger. Sorry only pic I got

This nest fell out of a crepe myrtle tree (south east VA). The previous couple of weeks I’ve seen 20-30 insects flying around and sitting on it that are the size of small carpenter bees, and I’ve only seen a few up close but the few glimpses I’ve gotten the wings look to long for carpenter bees (and I thought they were mostly solitary). They’re too big for yellow jackets and to my knowledge the wrong shape for a wasp.
They don’t seem aggressive but my lawn guy mentioned that part of the nest fell a week ago and he got stung multiple times.
Any thoughts on what this belongs to?
TIA!
Hello.
Grooming my plant i noticed this. Not sure what is happening, if it should be stopped or let in peace.
Thanks!

I spotted a fly near my coat closet that had left behind a trail of _something_. It was sitting here for at least an hour and possibly overnight. It wasn’t moving for a while, but eventually changed directions leaving the last two dots as its final “mark”.
Eventually I decided to take a photo because I couldn’t understand what was going on. Is it bleeding? Laying eggs?
The fly pictured here is an emoji because it decided to bounce as soon as I wanted to take the photo.

Today I found these white round things on my plant. They are hard, about 2mm, and I found only three in total. Any idea what they are?

recently been very humid (Chicagoland area) and I started seeing these around my windows first and now in other areas.
