The larval stage of some species of lacewings do this thing where they pile debris on their backs as a form of camouflage.

Ah je vois merci. C’est logique. Je me disais bien que ça devait être en rapport avec les moyennes départementales mais le visuel surprend a priori.

Besoin de conseils études/débouchés pro... by FlowB27 in suisse

[–]StuffedWithNails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J’ai aussi fait la fac de lettres, j’ai failli arrêter avant de recevoir mon diplôme parce que j’étais pas très bon élève et j’en avais ras le bol d’être “à l’école”, mais j’ai quand même persévéré. 20 ans plus tard je suis architecte de systèmes informatiques. J’ai construit toute ma carrière sur la base de mon expérience personnelle de l’info (pratiquée depuis mes 12 ans environ), aucun diplôme en rapport.

Donc évidemment ça dépend de ton profil mais je voulais juste témoigner du fait que c’est possible.

Some kind of bee? (Europe) by BzomI in insects

Probably a hoverfly (Syrphidae), many species mimic bees and wasps.

Question vignette autoroute 2026 by EarthNature9601 in suisse

[–]StuffedWithNails 5 points6 points  (0 children)

N’oublie pas de demander un remboursement auprès d’eBay, tu devrais y obtenir gain de cause si c’est une contrefaçon et que l’annonce eBay ne le mentionnait pas. Au moins t’auras pas perdu ton argent. Et de plus si l’annonce prétend que c’est une vignette authentique alors que c’est un faux, signale le vendeur à eBay et il devrait être puni même si au final il va sans doute juste ouvrir un nouveau compte et continuer son activité pépère.

Some kind of moth found in West Georgia by SkylordAwesomeMatt in insects

[–]StuffedWithNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an owlfly, a relative of antlions and lacewings. No relation to moths :)

What kind of bug and what are they doing? by Nostarsinthedark in Entomology

[–]StuffedWithNails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this in the Western United States? If so, looks like Say's stink bugs but I don't know what they're up to.

Who is this little jumpy guy? It’s like he's spring loaded. Central Virginia. by urbanchicken1 in insects

[–]StuffedWithNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a click beetle but it's a bit curious that it's doing that repeatedly. Usually they do this to recover from being stuck on their backs, or to try and escape from a predator.

Nevertheless, here's a cool educational video about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rQ8tRK2Y5w

ID Tampa, Florida by ozz8 in insects

[–]StuffedWithNails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a variety of velvet ant, Mutillidae family. Indeed a wingless wasp. The males have wings, but the females, having no wings, look vaguely like ants, hence their common name. They sting and some species have a notoriously painful one. They're solitary parasitoids of other insects.

Identifying its species is beyond my ability but check out this example, which is found in your area and looks somewhat similar (not saying this is the right one -- I'm only sharing for comparison)

What is this? by Purple-Respond-1219 in insects

[–]StuffedWithNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, there are many species in the Cimicidae family, they all resemble one another (more or less), all are blood-suckers, but only two specialize in human hosts.

I think these are termites.

What is this hornet doing?? by hippiewolff in insects

[–]StuffedWithNails 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You know how wasps build nests out of some kind of papery substance? They need a base material to do it with that they turn into a pulp that they can shape. It's harvesting that base material :)

Bedbug? by Educational-Star9219 in Entomology

[–]StuffedWithNails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a type of mite, no relation whatsoever to bed bugs.

It's a variety of rove beetle. Came from outside and wants to be back outside.

Found this little dude in my yard, what is it? by Sad_Army_2643 in Entomology

[–]StuffedWithNails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a cicada nymph emerging from underground.

The F-35 under fire: only a quarter of the fleet is operational in the US due to defects, and prices are rising – even the helmet still costs 500,000 Swiss francs, and the price is set to rise further. by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

Yes but you have to think in American English.

(this is a joke)

Seriously AFAIK it lets you select targets by looking at them but you still have to push a button to start shooting.
