These little guys are all over my sweet potato vine, eating it up. They look like larvae, and they all have little pieces of dirt attached to their butts that they're using to cover their backs. You can see me holding one by the dirt spec in the photos.
Well. All of my images suck. And I don't know their gender either. So, this baby has two stripes on their wings and two orangey spots a bit above the stripes.
Shitty ms paint recreation of wing colors included!
I really wanna know what to feed them, i currently have a cotton ball soaked in sugar water and a flower i saw another moth snacking on a few weeks ago, as well as a stick for them to perch on (which they have not)
They’re all over on the blanket it’s like a big woolen Blanket. West Coast Canada.
It appeared on my toddler’s bed, before bed time, its by a window in a carpet floor in the city , we have two cats that are indoor.
AI give mixed answers between carpet beetle & woodlouse isopod
We are in an RV in Arizona. We’ve been seeing these bugs for a while. They don’t seem to be doing anything. They love this one specific window though. Our food is above it so we thought maybe they were in there but there was nothing we could find up there. You can see the number of them by this window but there’s none by the others.
Hello, if anyone could ID this bug that would be great. Found in the netherlands under couch cushion. If you could also explain your reasoning that’d be amazing (am wondering if it could be a nimf etc)! Also not sure if the two are related or not. Sorry for the bad picture quality its night right now. Am a bit panicky so any help is greatly appreciated.
ETA: Closest I’m seeing online is two-spotted scoliid wasp? Never heard of these before.
There are two spots in my yard where there are small hordes of these insects flying in circles just above the grass. Occasionally, they stop and sit and usually another one comes along and bumps into it. I’m very curious about what they are and what they’re doing, either feeding or mating I’m guessing. They are totally non-aggressive and completely ignore me when I walk up to them, if anything they sort of avoid me so it was difficult to get pictures.
As you can see, they have a black thorax but half of their abdomen is yellow and orange, which gets concealed at rest by blue/black wings. While flying they mostly look black with flashes of their orange butt if you look closely.
SE PA, USA. TIA!
Found 2 dead bugs when I washed my bed sheets last week. Today, I found one stuck on the wall. I think my apartment has some invasive lady bug issue as I found lots of dead yellow lady bugs when I moved in last year, but I thought the issue was resolved after I stopped finding dead bodies. Perhaps these are earlier life stages of the ladybugs?
Hi I live in NJ and this moth(?) happened to be sitting in my front door, but I am not sure what it is.
found this lil guy on my window and caught it in a glass cup
3-4mm not counting legs
not sure what kind of bug this is, left my cocoa butter on my nightstand opened and when i came back to it, i saw this bug.. it’s a little bit bigger than a fruit fly/gnat but then again im not sure. i have struggled with gnats/fruit flies in my apartment but they look different from this one.. this one has a more elongated body and is a lot more narrow. i also discovered it has wings. included a picture with no zoom for size reference
(sorry for quality, the thing is like a mm small)
