Anyone know what this little guy could be?

I found this guy on his back flailing around and flipped him upright. He actually was more than happy to crawl on my finger and I could hardly convince him to get onto a bush because I had to continue my walk to work. Based on the eyes and general body structure, I’d guess a cicada of some sort. Issue being that I can’t find an exact match for the color of his body nor his eyes. I’m in the Washington area if that helps at all.

Please help me ID this creature in my pond

Upstate NY. Just scooped the 2 inch guy out. I've seen these before. I believe they thrive in the water. Thank you.

Fly bit my dog but I'm not sure what fly. Very worried

EDIT: Case solved!

Hi all! Today I went on a walk with my dog and she had a fly on her face. I got it off immediately (the bite above her eye), and then a couple minutes later another one came and my dog was being very jumpy because it was between her eyes, so I spent about two minutes trying to get that one off. We were home within the next ten minutes and I immediately noticed these huge bumps in the spot the fly was attached. I've compared what I had to charts and diagrams of flies and I can't figure it out. I live in Central Minnesota. It was about the size of a regular housefly.

Is this a grasshopper nymph?

This is in Minnesota. Many of its components resemble a grasshopper. I thought it might be a nymph due to its small size. I'm a little thrown off by that flat, curved, tail like body part at the bottom.

What is this larva?

Found these bugs under the mulch I have. Recently chopped some dill when it flowers as mulch. Then a lavender once it dried back.

Can’t identity this bug, having a difficult time. Any clue?

I need help to identify this cutie.

This morning I was on my way to clean the pool when I found this little girl struggling on the water. As I am an animal lover I felt the need to save her. Now I want to know what kind of bee is (if she is a bee). Thank you!! Foung in Galicia, Spain.

Any ideas? /help

Not sure if this is a cockroach or maybe a cricket? The back legs seem a bit short for a cricket but I heard a thud, looked up, and saw another one on a desk, so maybe it jumps?

I’ve found 2 of these now in 24 hours, gonna deep clean my place, but any suggestions on what it is would be very helpful.

Location: California, United States

What kind of roach is this . USA , south .

I’m wondering what kind of roach is this . Apartment pest control said it was a beetle but it doesn’t look like one . This is the first one I’ve seen since I moved here 7 months ago . It was by my bedroom window wall. It fell on the floor . My cabinets are clean ,no droppings etc and I keep my home pretty neat , leave no dishes over night in sink , sweep & wipe crumbs daily . I do live near playground with mulch and it’s very humid & hot here . Is this the beginning of an infestation ?

Upstate NY stinging insect?

My daughter was sitting at the dining room table when she suddenly started screaming that she was stung. We saw this guy nearby, but no stinger (I am assuming it lost the stinger when it stung). It is on the ground now, struggling to fly. Any idea what this is? It’s about the size of a carpenter ant.
