Reddish brown large ant or bee like. It appears to be using a dying Eastern Redbud as a host. It has bright yellow stripes on its back. Lots of them are mating right now. They are anywhere from 1/4" to 1" long.

Small about 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch, some have wings. Slow moving. We live on a boat in St. Petersburg, Fl. They show up in the evening when it is darker inside. We do not have any plants on board, or pets. I have sprayed malathion in some areas of the boat but I cannot seem to find where they are coming from. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

We cannot identify this black grub/bug/larvae we found in April on the ground near our garden. It just sits there until you grasp it or put any pressure on its body - then the smaller end (on the right in this photo) rotates like it is trying to tunnel.

Is this a fruit fly? I found it on a blade of grass in a field in upstate NY. I can't seem to find a picture of it anywhere and would like to know the name of it.
Thank you MONI

Found on screen door about 7:15 a.m. July 9th in Gaines, Pennsylvania. He is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long. Long narrow neck and head with what looks like pinchers a the top of his head. First thought he was a praying mantus but he does not have the correct stance. Can you identify him?

small brown bug
This might be a totally vanilla insect, but nobody here knew what it was or had seen one before. This bug did not fly and was sitting on my patio chair, which is a similar brown color to the bug. I live in Anaheim, California. I took the photo with my phone but tried to enhance the contrast to show the details so hopefully it'll be good enough for you to tell what it is. Thanks!

The picture was taken on the tennis court, mid September in Toronto Canada...so the temperatures were low 70 F at the time...the insect is about 2 inches long, appears to have four legs and two long pincers...since we are unaccustomed to large insects we were wondering what it was! Thanks for your help!

This insect had a large body, it looks like wings that were fairly transparent, like a dragon flies, with mandibles. It was about an inch to two inchs long. It's antenea were fairly long and had fine hairs(?) on them. I saved it from a spiders web.

Destructive beetle
Very destructive beetle, about 1cm long. Hordes of them found in the Herb Garden of our local Museum gardens this spring (June/10). Location West of Ottawa, ON. There are hundreds of them mating and seem to prefer prefer eating wide leaf plants such as Comfrey, Elecampine and Echinacea. On the Asparagus in the same area, they don't munch it, just hang upside down in mating pairs. Orange secretion when squished (Eww!). We sure would appreciate your expertise in identifying this pest. Thanks a million!

I found this in my pool skimmer. It has wings like a dragonfly, but has 2 pairs of long "horns" that are almost 1" long and very stiff. It is nearly 5" long. The abdomen is also like a dragonfly. But the head and "horns" are more like some sort of beetle. I would love to know what it is and so far....can't find anyone with a clue. Please help. I am a nature freak and love all God's creatures.

Swarming in multiple columns over the vinyl siding, around 5pm. Masses dissappeared after a few hours, leaving only a few stragglers such as the one pictured. No wings apparent.
Observed several brown-ringed holes in the siding; not certain if they were there before.

Non exoskeleton?
I have no idea what this is. It kind of looks like a super mini centipede/milipede, but I really don't know. It curls into a circle if it is stimulated. I've just found a handful of them randomly in dark places - mostly in my closet. They leave exoskeletons. I have a photo of a lighter colored one - which I believe is the exoskeleton.

They are like a long & thin beetle (my mother thought they may be young june bugs).

Found walking in the kitchen of a house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Almost three inches long not counting tail and pinchers, if that is what they are.
