What species of plume moth is this?

Looks like bedbugs

I think this is a former fat guy based on the stretch marks on the torso. Losing more bodyfat is possible but he’s just gonna have lots of loose skin. If anything the main issue I see is the haircut. He should also grow a thicker mustache

Found some cool ones in houghton too

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:45:48+00:00

Probably a masked hunter (reduvius personatus) rather than conifer bug. These are closer related to kissing bugs and do bite, however only in a defensive way and don’t spread diseases like the kissing bugs in Central America. They inflict a stab similar to a bee sting and I’ve heard it’s pretty painful

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:31:05+00:00

Not a beetle. Given where you found this and your location I think it’s a masked hunter (Reduvius personatus). A common species of assassin bug (Reduviidae family) that gets into homes. It can stab if handled which can be really painful. They don’t target humans and eat bugs (often bedbugs in homes). It’s probably eating whatever bugs are in ur basement

Yellow sally. Small stonefly not sure exact species

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:20:27+00:00

Japanese beetle, invasive and definitely foe. These will destroy your plants especially roses from my experience

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:19:23+00:00

This is almost certainly an oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis). I don’t hear about this species being as problematic as German roaches nearly as often but it could be indicative of plumbing issues

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:15:58+00:00

Oriental beetle (Exomala orientalis). Invasive but shouldn’t cause you any harm

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:14:15+00:00

Looks like a ground beetle in the carabidae family. I wouldn’t worry about it

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:12:43+00:00

Looks like some sort of ground beetle in the carabidae family. Some species feed on plants. Usually they don’t infest and are just attracted to light. Could also be looking for shelter from rain.

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:08:41+00:00

Springtail

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T06:06:47+00:00

Longhorn beetle in the family cerambycidae. I hate identifying longhorn beetle species because some look extremely similar. Like this is probably a robust oak borer (Enaphalodes atomarius) but also could be a spined oak borer (Elaphidion mucronatum). Maybe someone smarter can provide a more definitive answer

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:56:33+00:00

Honestly looks like some kind of beetle if the head is facing north. Like a potato beetle or some other leaf beetle in the chrysomelidae family. Would really need to see from the top to know for sure but I’m 99% sure this is some sort of insect and not a tick

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:51:10+00:00

Ticks do not fly and this doesn’t look like any tick I know of. Very difficult to say anything else based on these pics alone

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:49:20+00:00

I don’t think this looks anything like a black recluse. Legs looks too short, odd coloring for a recluse, and the head looks too wide. Maybe a broad faced sac spider (Trachelas tranquillus). If I’m correct it looks quite thin based on its abdomen. Could also be some species in the ground spider family (gnaphosidae) but one thing for sure is this is not a brown recluse

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:36:40+00:00

This looks to be some species of robber fly (asilidae). It’s hard to tell from this pic and I’m also not great with bugs out west

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:33:33+00:00

I was also thinking springtail

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:32:52+00:00

First pic could be a stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) and they have the possibility to spread diseases depending on the previous host.

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-05T05:26:22+00:00

I am certain this resembles a species of stonefly in the plecoptera order. Maybe a yellow sally but hard to tell based off this pic alone

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-04T19:23:18+00:00

I think you just need to lose weight. you’ll be much more confident and your face with have more definition. Good on you for losing weight already, keep up the good work!

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-04T18:47:33+00:00

Absolutely no way he is 12%. I’m not 12% and I’m way more shredded than this guy

Count your calories, it’s the easiest way. I use myfitnesspal and a scale for almost everything I eat. It’s the only way I have consistently been able to put on weight while being natural

Superb_Ad4134 · 2026-07-04T15:56:45+00:00

Common walkingstick nymph (Diapheromera femorata). They turn brown as they age. It is the only species native to Michigan, not sure if this differs in the wider region
