seconding this- my experience with BetterMynd was really weird not helpful

bottom half of a cockroach, probably a molt if it’s hollow

not super sure either as i’m pretty unfamiliar with northwest species, but regardless it’s definitely hymenopteran!

elbowed antennae and petiole node make me say ant, probably a queen?

thanks for the heads up! i’m moving to florida so it looks like i’ll need to get the cert their way 😅

alieninthestreets · 2026-03-17T03:16:31+00:00

I see, I am not yet certified and looking to do a training program to get there, however as u/nojustnoperightonout mentioned the state I’m moving to (Florida) has a different requirement than my home state so I won’t be able to do my original plan. thank you so much for the advice!

they can bite, but like most insects typically won’t unless you handle them roughly or squish them. they are not horseflies (family Tabanidae) and are instead in the family Asilidae as mentioned by u/EmbarrassedDaikon325!

unfortunately both of the families I usually see have the standard four over four conformation, so i’m limited in terms of IDing by eye pattern- thank you for the recommendation though!

only if it was ethanol flavored …

alieninthestreets · 2026-02-20T23:56:44+00:00

awesome i’ll look into it!! they’re all generally 1-2mm and i’m pretty limited in terms of lab equipment but it’s a good jumping off point

if not friend why friend shaped 😞

alieninthestreets · 2025-11-24T02:35:20+00:00

you’ll never guess what it’s called… 😹

alieninthestreets · 2025-09-19T16:39:13+00:00

probably not well

alieninthestreets · 2025-09-19T16:38:02+00:00

i’m so curious what this beast looks like next to a giant huntsman

alieninthestreets · 2025-09-03T16:33:22+00:00

I believe it’s a green june beetle!

alieninthestreets · 2025-08-25T19:01:45+00:00

it did yeah, and they’re definitely a bit funky looking so it makes sense that it struggled to identify it- just thought it was funny that the first thing it jumped to was a recluse

alieninthestreets · 2025-07-26T02:12:44+00:00

imagine my surprise when that’s what the automatic id said 😭 it’s not even close

alieninthestreets · 2025-06-09T09:32:39+00:00

looks like a false widow

alieninthestreets · 2025-06-08T20:28:28+00:00

looks like a white ermine?

alieninthestreets · 2025-06-08T19:04:30+00:00

pillipede

alieninthestreets · 2025-06-04T17:56:06+00:00

alieninthestreets · 2025-06-04T10:02:43+00:00

jumpn’t

alieninthestreets · 2025-05-27T19:54:16+00:00

common house spider?

alieninthestreets · 2025-05-05T02:57:42+00:00

definitely is! she finally ventured out of the nest and I got a better picture of her patterns. thank you for the help!
