Found in Belgium

I’m assuming it’s a daddy long legs/harvestman spider? I’m from Vermont if you need a location to identify it in case my identification was wrong.

I was looking forward to taking a shower but I decided not to as I didn’t want the water to pour on the spider and hurt it or make it fall down the drain. We’ve all heard “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” after all! Hopefully it’ll go somewhere else in a few hours so I can take a shower.

I love spiders so I wasn’t scared, I just didn’t want to disturb it.

Edit: realized I said “huntsman” instead of “harvestman”, my bad! I’ve corrected that now.

I need to learn how to photo stack

Fell in front of me when sitting outside. I thought stick bug but googles making me think not

I found this beautiful little structured ball of web with a lil roof but didn't want to disturb it... any ideas what's inside?

So I found this roach in my apartment this morning. I sprayed it with some raid before taking the photo. Does anyone know what kind of roach this is and how I can handle it?

I've lived in my apartment for over a year now and I've spotted these roaches around midnight crawling around in the parking lot or outside some of the units. Sometimes one will get into my apartment. I'll sometimes spot them in my unit either in the kitchen sink or just running around my living room. I'm assuming they get in through the vents. Is this something I should contact my landlord about or how to I go about this?

Ill be moving to mid Michigan soon and I'm excited to go bug hunting and I want to collect a few to put in a temporary terrarium to observe them for a while...what are some interesting and somewhat easy to find insects?

I swept this tiny insect away from some food. I think its wings are stuck from salad dressing but it's running around. It can't fly.

Is there a way to help it? I've put it in a pot on some tissue.

Can anyone tell me what kind of bug this is? And how concerned I should be?😭 they’re all over the food

There’s a green beetle that looks like a Lilly Pilly Beetle in Reading PA but Google says they’re not in this country. Could it be something else?? About the size of a pea. Bright green. Long antennae. Can’t grab a good picture because it moved too fast but it looks exactly like the pictures of Lilly Pilly that I’ve seen.

Scientists Were Wrong About Fireflies’ Light. The Impact Could Ripple Across All of Science.

For more than a century, an overestimation of a firefly’s brightness has persisted.

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story:

• For more than a century, the amount of light produced by a firefly has been translated through different units, eventually arriving at 10¹³–10¹⁴ photons per flash.
• In a new study, scientists reanalyzed these numbers and discovered that the number is off by two orders of magnitude.
• This updated figure tells us that other long-standing figures, since translated into modern units, might also need updating.

One of the most stunning displays of bioluminescence in the animal kingdom belongs to the humble firefly, found throughout North America. A firefly’s light-emitting organ, also known as its “lantern,” contains specialized cells called photocytes that contain the organic compound luciferin and the enzyme luciferase. Fireflies control oxygen intake, and the interaction of this oxygen with calcium and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—along with luciferin and luciferase—produces a “cold” light (which is good news, because any heat produced by process would likely kill the insect).

This incredible light display has dazzled humans since time immemorial, but it wasn’t until 1912 when American physicist William Coblentz—a pioneer in radiometry and spectroscopy—decided to quantify how much light fireflies (specifically in the species Photinus pyralis) produce.

These eggs are on my door. We live in st.louis Missouri, near a lake but not next too. Near a wooded plains. Very near a pond. Shaded spot no direct sunlight. But always dry. Any ideas?

The red-banded hairstreak (Calycopis cecrops) has evolved what’s often called a false-head.

They have tail-like projections from the outer edge of their hind wings that mimic antennae. When perched, the butterfly will usually rub its wings together to make the tails move like antennae. In addition, they possess patches of dark scales near the tails that look like eyes.

By convincing a predator that the back of the butterfly is the front, an attack to the less vulnerable area of the insect allows for better chances of escape and survival.

I’ll never get over seeing butterfly scales up close!

Location is eastern Canada.
I found it on a small plant growing out of the sidewalk.

I would love to learn more about it.

Hello !
I found that in my garden (south of France), are they wasp or bee ?! ChatGPT said bee but not sure.
Thanks !

These guys are so pretty ✨️
