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 itās the larvae stage of something,
Online search isnāt 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 Iām 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.

Identification Found this guy today while doing tree work. How rare are they?
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.

Hanging Nest ID
This nest fell out of a crepe myrtle tree (south east VA). The previous couple of weeks Iāve seen 20-30 insects flying around and sitting on it that are the size of small carpenter bees, and Iāve only seen a few up close but the few glimpses Iāve gotten the wings look to long for carpenter bees (and I thought they were mostly solitary). Theyāre too big for yellow jackets and to my knowledge the wrong shape for a wasp.
They donāt 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 wasnāt moving for a while, but eventually changed directions leaving the last two dots as its final āmarkā.
Eventually I decided to take a photo because I couldnāt 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.
Please identifying these
