Location - Assam, India Terrain - On top of a small hill (elevation < 200m from sea level). There were several colonies / concealed hives in this location made in man made structures like wall cracks, open pipes etc.

Technically an arachnid, but look how neat!!! I wonder which species..? :)

This was in Pretoria

These have been appearing in my bathroom for the last few days, seems like they’re coming out of an excesses light fixture.

Are they flying ants? Or god forbid termites?

Found this pupae on the ground near moist mossy soil (and trash I was cleaning). Norway. Little under 2cm long, I don't have better pictures as they are now in a makeshift terrarium.

Some say it is likely a moth? But someone else said beetle? Those seem to have pretty varying needs for their pupae stage so I've tried to make it accommodating for both.

Theres been no sign of movement, unsure if I can/should expect that or not, haven't dealt with pupaes ever.

I will most likely release them after emerging! But I appreciate ID or tips for their temporary terrarium.

looking for book recommendations to learn about fireflies as someone who has never really studied them before but has a general ento background. something not incredibly technical would be cool

Hi everyone! I am from the eastern shore MD and (according to google lens) saw a horned faced mason bee. After watching it do its thing for a few minutes it “peed”. When I looked closer I saw there were orange specks in it. I wasn’t sure if they were poop, pollen, eggs, or something else. I’d appreciate the help! Thanks :-)

Anyone know what insect this is? Trying to figure out if this wasp is dangerous or harmless, I tried taking better shots but it flew away after stuffing a caterpillar it caught earlier inside the nest. So far it hasnt stung anyone even though we got close to it.

It made a nest attached to a small metal statue as seen in the photos.

Color is not showing up well, but the abdomen appeared to have some orange-ish coloration.

I recently received a taxidermy Rhinoceros Beetle preserved in a Sealed Bell jar as a gift and subsequently opened it out of curiosity… Is it vulnerable to decomposition now?

Found this pod while pulling weeds from a garden pot. Looks like a cocoon but it was under a few inches of soil. Any idea what will come out? I live in the US North East.

They've appeared throughout the winter, dead, in a dry drain in the laundry room. Lately, they've now started moving around the floor, very not dead. I also believe they can fly. They are pretty small, maybe 2-3mm

Hi, I’m hoping someone be able to identify this? Found it on my Holly it looks like it’s attached to the leaf with some silk and on the back you can see something has been eating the leaf. Thanks

Giant bee in the garden this morning. Nearly an inch long. London, UK

I'll add the video in the comments if I can figure it out! They're moving around like jumping beans, there's an oak tree and an elm above this spot- in arkansas/Missouri area. It's like 38 degrees outside, rough guess.

Ive never seen these kind of insect near where I live but this buddy showed up in my room, it looks like an early stage but i cant figure out what it is. Im from Barcelona, Spain btw
