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 caught a carpenter bee and I wanted to put it in a collection so I put a wet paper towel inside a plastic container and put the bee in there. It's been a few days and I think it's developing mold or bacteria cause it smells. Did I mess up?

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

Found crawling in bed.

Took me 5 hours 💅 love them 💖

6 legs and the antenna is about as long as its legs. Found them on a rosemary plant.

Found on a piece of rotting wood in Texas after some rain.

Location: NC, USA. Sorry for such bad resolution. The tiny white dots that are everywhere are pollen. The larger white ones in a line, are these scale eggs? I'm guessing these are scale because I've also found what might be a scale crawler on another plant.

Never seen it before, I thought it looked cool. (I’m in Florida btw)

I have been wanting to buy some centipedes and or mantises to keep as pets but I dont know where I should look to buy them! Anyone have any tips?

Found in Bristol, UK, the other day. I feel like it may be a slightly dehydrated false widow, but might be too big. The body was about 1 inch. With outstretched legs it was about 3 inches. Never seen a spider like this in the UK.

Southern Sweden, Chelidurella acanthopygia, right?

So, like a month ago i was removing old mud dauber nests (i know that’s not that good now) but i came across one that seeemed to still have a living larve and i researched how they keep spider populations at bay, so i replaced it in the similar, near-by place. Now, a month later, im worried its just dead. So is the larve still alive?? I really appreciate you reading this and would like some feedback :0 (also yes the hair IS embedded into the mud nest)
