Wouldnt get off my jacket without a drink. Seemed tired, but still had the energy to twerk.

What kind of tick is this?

I found this guy on my leg, and I'm thinking I got it from walking through a patch of medium length grass on the way to dollarama. A Google lens search tells me it's likely an American Dog tick or a Gulf Coast tick. I'm located on Hamilton, Ontario Canada if it helps.

These don’t look like mosquitoes?

They have flat wings about the same length as the body. I’ve never seen these before and they’ve been landing on me constantly for the last 20 minutes

What is this guy? He’s HUGE Northwest NJ

This guy was on my storm door trying to get into the house. What is he? My dog wanted to sniff so bad.

Mystery Ninja Sink Bug

I went to clean the drain of my kitchen sink tonight. I put a glove on and reached to remove the sink strainer and something FLUNG towards my bare wrist. I don’t think it flies, but it does jump. I wish it at least went for my gloved hand, homie went straight for skin (altho I don’t think it touched me).

Took about 5 years off my life. It went down the drain and into the garbage disposal (sorry buddy).

Any idea what it is? New England state, USA

What insect is this?

I think it’s a lady bug but a friend said a tick. I found it on my sun hat. I was not hiking, just wore it when walking to my metro strop. I’m in Alexandria, VA.

Scorpion Spider Bug?

Edit: Forgot image! (Noob)

This is the best photo I could get, but worried there may be more and if they are harmless or not. I saw what a pseudo scorpion looks like and it’s not this, as the pseudoscorpion had more of a tick like body and longer arms.

Has small pincers like a scorpion, but moved and had legs like a spider. This one was on my sheets. Please help 😩

Location: United States, Southeast Virginia

Keep finding these as I sit on my backyard patio in KY.

In Northern Kentucky. First time seeing these in my backyard. About a half an inch long.
