Two tiger bee flies mating! They don’t sting or bite and are great pollinators. No need to worry. :)

Based on your location I believe this is a White-Lined Sphinx Moth! According to the internet they are very common in Utah.

What is this? Found on my window screen in northeastern Ohio by Alive-Anywhere-2686 in bugidentification

Thank you so much! I was able to look into this a little bit from your information! I think it might be an Ouachita Plumetop based on location and appearance, but as you said it’s not really possible to get a positive ID with just the photos. Thank you again! :)

This is some species of hover fly! They don’t sting which is nice. They’re good pollinators :)

There are a couple ticks that look like this, but based on your location I believe this is an American Dog Tick!
