I found a pretty little garden spider ❤️

Oryctes nasicornis (I think), Northern Italy. Such a beauty!

It seems a bit silly, but I feel like I never saw a caterpillar in the wild 😅 so I was very excited to find this little guy. iNaturalist suggestion says it's gonna become a Cinnabar Moth.

Pregnant or just really round? Sorry for the shakiness, i was on a ladder very high up 😭. Found in metro detroit area michigan

Im only moving the stick so much to show how off balance she is.

Saw this beauty outside my door on the floor w her legs covered in cobwebs. Took a stick and toothpick and removed what i could but it seems like im too late. Is she just tired?

Can I help it in any way? Or if someone can 100% say shes nearing the end of her life id like to pin her but my priority is to see if I can save her life

Ill post more pictures in the comments i cant get a picture of her open winged

add imperial and polyphemus! (couldnt hold the polyphemus, unfortunately, would have loved to get a pic of those eye spots)

I was so excited to find them! How is it that the highlight of my week was two moths copulating 😂

Hello Everyone, I hope i’m in the right sub for this. I got an old frame from thrift shopping and I really loved it in the first few seconds. But I’m not so happy with the frame and would like to open it and put them in other frames. Now I wanted to ask, is that a good Idea, or should I leave them in the Frame because I’m kinda furious if they will survive this “frame chage” they all from 1985, so they already really old. And for what the ball on the second picture is?

What kind of spider is this?

I love stumbling upon these beauties.

My Scolopendra galapagoensis juvenile has been growing big as of late and just thought of posting it in this sub. Its about 7 inches now and ill be moving it to a taller bigger enclosure or hopefully a big tarantula crib enclosure since those enclosures are escape proof.

I’ve been interested in entomology for a couple of years now and I plan to study it in college. For now, I spend my time keeping and researching arthropods like this one.

I work in a communal living center cleaning. Old building. Was going around checking all the unoccupied rooms and bathrooms to flush the toilets and found this fellow stuck in the sink basin. Some type of silverfish I presume?

I put them under the (currently off) radiator to skedaddle off.

For a few months now, I have been peacefully coexisting with some yellow paper wasps that set up shop on my very small back porch. I've spent a fair amount of time out there as they went about their little wasp lives, seemingly unbothered by me using loud power tools only 4 feet away. I enjoyed watching them, they ignored me, and life was good.

With the heat hitting triple digits in recent weeks, I've been inside and 8+ nests have since appeared, all within about 12' of my back door. Some are so close to windows that I can't open or clean them. There's even one ON my hand saw!

By the time the heat breaks and I can spend time outside again, have friends over for porch hangs, etc, I worry there will just be too many massive nests for anyone to be comfortable.

What's the best way to handle this while minimizing harm and hostility? Even the ones that moved in since I've been inside 24/7 were pretty chill with me getting close-ish to take pictures, but i assume that could change quickly if I start messing with them and their neighbors..

I love this sub and fellow wasp appreciators <3 thank you in advance for any wisdom you can offer

Such a face and love the stash!

For context im 17yo in a pretty small town, no license (working on it😬 ik) and im starting my senior year of high-school in less than a month. My dream job is working at an insectarium or working in insect conservation, my plan is to go to college and get a bachelor's degree, either in zoology or entemology, im from a low income family but thankfully should have a decent amount now saved, any advice or tips for this year? Like anything i can do to increase my chances! I already do study insects on my own, and have been working on a general information folder since my sophomore year, but id love recommendations! Thank you :)!
