What is this bug??? 😭

It’s recently been very very humid/stormy in my city (Chicagoland area) and I started noticing more bugs around my windows and now I’m seeing them around my bed (which is by the window). any help identifying and getting rid of them would be greatly appreciate…thank you!!

How do I help this bug?

This is either a moth or a butterfly, i think its a butterfly. It's wings are damaged and I've set up a makeshift house for it with some rags and a shoebox so it doesn't get hurt. It keeps trying to fly but ends up just stumbling and falling over. I have a dish of sugar water but it seems uninterested. I also tried putting it in a tree before I came inside but it just fell. What else can I do? Also should I close the lid to the box or keep it open?

Have never seen this kind of bug before!

It was crawling on the wall at 10pm in Los Angeles, CA. What is it?! So many legs!!

Infestation?

Live in Connecticut and Ive never seen these bugs before, and they are clearly killing this tree. Should I kill them and if so how without causing too much harm.

UPDATE: Confirmed to be invasive, applied Raid to area and killed a bunch of them, trying to dispose of bodies to prevent bird poising, will check daily for more

Dying moth laying eggs— are they done for ?

This poor girl might’ve gotten shocked by my father’s electric trap (I asked him to take it down countless times, but he’s very stubborn) and when I tried to see if I could help her, she started laying eggs. I scooped them up and placed them on a leaf to not lose them since she’s popping them out whatever way she can, but they look so tiny, so I’m half sure this is just her popping them out way too early out of pain and panic…
Sorry for the bad picture, but are they already dead or meant to die ? And if not, how can I take care of them ? She’s been trusting me so much, I need to step in as godmother now 😭🫡

I made this for my sister

I love making creative bug pinnings 😁

Her and her husband enjoy playing pool together so I made them in bug form 😆

I made the table out of foam and felt sheets, the glasses are wire.

I made the pool cues by dipping wire in mod podge until it was thick, and the pool balls are beads I painted and glued to the table.
