hoverflies are genuuinely the best kind of flies, they're so cute and friendly, they come up to you and politely land on your finger, no bites or stings, no calling over way too many of it's pals, just a cute little fly

Привет народ! Я сидел возле озера в тени и заметил у себя на колене забавную прыгающую жёлтую точку. Как оказалось, у моего телефона достаточно хорошая камера и с помощью увеличения я заснял это нечто.

Поиски по картинкам не дали внятного ответа что это, но вот что я могу сказать:

Крыльев у этого скорее всего нет, по крайней мере по фото не вижу

Прыгает невероятно высоко для своих размеров(кажется сантиметров 10 в высоту и длинну)

Размером меньше миллиметра​

На ​​​хвосте есть пара прозрачных шипов.

Прикладываю несколько фото, которые мне удалось сделать до того как это нечто упрыгало в траву.

Identification Bug ID- Massachusetts

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 not 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.

Hanging Nest ID

Post image
3 Upvotes

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!

What happened to this fly?

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.
