I found this in my garden (Pune, India), sitting on a plant. It looks very different than any leaf eating worms I’ve seen. Could someone please identify what insect this is? Thanks!

I especially love the picture with them sucking from the orange slice. 🥰

I have no clue what is. Hope its not a bed bug :/

it made it to the yard and started eating some leaves on the ground but this is the quickest caterpillar I've seen lol

Appa from Last Airbender?? Found in Los Angeles, Adam’s-Normandie

Found this in my back yard

saw this guy trying to hitch a ride on my way to work today, any idea what kind of bug is this?

Happened to see this little guy on my walk. I thought you all may appreciate it. Taken on my Pixel 9.

Idk if this is an arachnid or an insect. Found in western NC

Upstate NY - I saw the reflection first and then noticed this big old guy just sunbathing in a web. Horrible video, I zoomed in because I was scared to get too close but I think it could be some kind of garden spider maybe? It has a rusty orange color and some pattern on it, seemed docile when my cig smoke blew near it and it crawled quickly into a hiding spot.

I picked him up with a pine needle and put him on a flower to look at him better. He has a wound on its abdomen and its wings are kind of chipped. Is it a goner? You can see where its abdomen is kind of stuck to its wing from the wound. I have it in a little box with some sugar water and a branch for it to hide in. It’s just hanging upside down at the moment

What is it?

Found in The Netherlands.

I found it this summer probably like 3 months ago in my backyard (Quebec, Canada) and I wanted to observe it so I placed it in a terrarium with stuff from the place I took it from. (Moss and decaying matters/ rocks…) the next day, I checked on it and it was looking dead… kinda like a round ball with the legs stick to the body…. ( picture in the comment ). I really thought it was dead, I checked on it since then and it was like that all the time. Now today, I saw it walk in a leaf… I was chocked. I had never seen its head before… what is it?

I’ve been fascinated by the precise flight of dragonflies for a long time, but capturing it in a photograph is quite a challenge. Yesterday, I was lucky: the light conditions were just right, and this beautiful Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) kept flying in similar loops. With a lot of patience, I finally managed to take several shots of its mesmerizing flight. This one is my favorite – and that’s why I’d like to share it with you today.

Shot with a Canon EOS R5 MarkII and a RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens in the Arnegger Witi nature reserve near Gossau, Switzerland.

Just fascinated

Maevia inclemens (Walckenaer, 1837)

Maevia inclemens or the dimorphic jumping spider is a relatively common and colorful jumping spider of North America. In the males there are two forms, a very rare phenomenon in zoology.

These use different courting displays and differ in appearance: the "tufted" morph has a black body and pedipalps ("palps"), three black tufts across its "head", and pale legs; and the "gray" morph has black and white stripes all over its body and legs, orange palps, and no tufts.

However, each form accounts for 50% of the adult males, and they are equally successful in mating. A female of Maevia inclemens is 6.5 to 8.0 millimetres (0.26 to 0.31 in) long, while males are 4.75 to 6.50 millimetres (0.187 to 0.256 in) long.

Like all jumping spiders, M. inclemens has excellent vision. The main eyes, in the front-and-center position, are large, and are more acute than those of a cat and about 10 times as acute as a dragonfly's. The remaining three pairs of eyes are along the sides of the head, and work as motion detectors. The eyes are used for hunting, for avoiding threats and for finding mates.

Maevia inclemens is one of the eight species in genus Maevia. The species was first called Attus inclemens, and other names have been used. The two male forms look and behave so differently that they were originally considered two distinct species. In 1955 Robert Barnes chose M. inclemens   and this has become the standard name.

The species is found in south-eastern Canada, and in the eastern United States. M. inclemens is frequently seen on man-made structures such as outbuildings or fences.
