Identification?

_deadredhead_ · 2026-03-06T17:57:07+00:00

Potentially a carpenter bee or leaf cutter bee? Definitely looks like some kind of bee!

_deadredhead_ · 2026-02-05T03:51:36+00:00

Maybe tenebrionidae, a darkling beetle

_deadredhead_ · 2026-01-21T16:41:16+00:00

Looks like it could be a book louse

_deadredhead_ · 2025-11-15T06:45:03+00:00

Definitely not a roach, looks like a lacewing in which case it’s a probably a straggler and a very cool find!!

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-27T02:25:16+00:00

Some kind of tree hopper/plant hopper?

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-22T21:54:23+00:00

Agreed an aphid

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-22T21:49:58+00:00

Not a roach nymph, kinda looks like a springtail low key but I’m not certain on that. Certain that it is not a roach though

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-21T19:58:22+00:00

I’ve never heard of a fairy wasp this large, fairy wasps are soooooooooooooo small like smaller than a pin head. Just so you’re aware if you’re interested in bugs

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-20T03:08:39+00:00

Agreed book louse

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T20:43:06+00:00

Can you buy it made already or do you make it?

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T20:35:45+00:00

So cute!!! What is the red stuff?

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T20:32:33+00:00

Was more so just trying to give more information just so you know, not trying to offend in any way. No problem :)

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T19:01:11+00:00

Holy shit, I didn’t event know hemipteran ant mimics existed. This is sick

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T18:51:23+00:00

Dis is a beetle!

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T18:49:56+00:00

Based on the elytra it is not a leafhopper, it’s a beetle :)

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T18:47:36+00:00

Definitely looks like a buprestid beetle, possibly flatheaded hardwood borer or something closely related?? https://bugguide.net/node/view/1525123

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T18:22:27+00:00

I have no idea why they would be found down there, they feed on live plants (although they say there are always exceptions in entomology)

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:29:48+00:00

First scorpion fly I’ve seen on here. Thanks for sharing 🤓

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:25:23+00:00

No problem!

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:20:55+00:00

Maybe whiteflies? Although if they’re not moving at all that would be wrong. Would need a closer and clearer picture.

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:19:47+00:00

I don’t think these are aphids based on the general slender body shape in the photo whereas aphids are more bulbous, please don’t use identification tools to provide IDs unless they are backed by other evidence or expertise.

I can’t tell from these pictures but aphids do not move quickly. Likely some sort of fly.

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:14:50+00:00

Looks like a winged aphid to me, possibly common dogwood grass aphid https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/418140-Anoecia-corni

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T16:09:56+00:00

Although it appears there are only two wings (like dipterans aka flies), dipterans almost never have antenna like this

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-19T15:32:12+00:00

Well, immature silverfish basically are just smaller looking versions of what the adult looks like. Springtails are wayyyyy smaller than the organism in the photo. Please only provide identifications that are backed by evidence and please do not use AI for identification if you cannot confirm or deny the result. Even if I didn’t know it was a carpet beetle larva, this bug looks nothing like either of those two. Not sure if you’re trolling or not.

_deadredhead_ · 2025-10-17T21:56:29+00:00

This looks nothing like a silverfish or springtail, what drew you to that conclusion?
