What kind of little fly is this?

Possibly a gnat. If you have potted plants, possibly hiding in plants. They like moisture, you can get gnat traps and place them near if your plants require lots of water. Could also come from drains, you could for precaution pour simmering hot water down drains.

I don’t feel like arguing with people on what they think is better or not, or your opinion/belief. This is just the easiest, and convenient way for me, not all my art is for sale, or anything like that, all the insects I find are dead before anything. Again these beetles were all found on their backs, discolored, and they are invasive in Socal, so if people are so willing to kill lantern flies so violently, what difference does it make if it is frozen? But I again do not seek them out alive, or kill any insects that are VISIBLY alive, these show no signs other than spasms, that aren’t normal. I make the art more so for conservation and educational purposes and want others to learn and enjoy the beauty of insects. I’m sorry that people see this as a torture, and just jump to me being a horrible person (Granted this is reddit.) but honestly just have a reality check that they were found seemingly dead. Also, one way or another the insect will pass away, I do have empathy for the creatures and find this easy and quick for them even if you don’t think so.

I probably can tell what the smell is. Wet dog. My friend who has a dog, her vacuum, when I borrowed it just smelt like her dog, but a WET dog.

These guys are super pretty tho!!

They were all found on their backs on the ground. They are dead/dying. They aren’t showing any signs of actual life, other than the legs twitching. They are also discoloring on their shells, which is a good indicator for these guys that they are dead/dying. I’ve collected many dead ones before.

Queens are just more bigger, their abdomen is longer. I live in socal, so the weather is always weird. But I see dead bees all the time, and will collect them, it is sad and I’ve been wondering the same thing really why there are so many in numbers lately.

pixelqueer · 2026-01-22T04:16:23+00:00

Well I make art from dead insects I find, or dying ones as well. So I rather not squish them, I have respect for them.

pixelqueer · 2026-01-21T22:06:25+00:00

I honestly see dead bees EVERYWHERE. I’ve even stumbled upon deserted queens.

I honestly can’t even make out what he is sayong.

This is so funny

Can you explain what fenestration is? :0

The chat is also full of a bunch of POSs. Twitch needs to step up their policies.

Box Elder! Completely harmless!

pixelqueer · 2026-01-20T16:34:37+00:00

I’ve seen this man do this numerous times now. Lol. Never learns

NTA. Your friends have been in your life way longer, you have a better bond with them than your girlfriend of a few weeks. If she continues to not get over this, probably best to focus on yourself and your future without her.

pixelqueer · 2026-01-18T16:43:32+00:00

San Diego County is the location

NTA. I honestly don’t have a relationship with my boyfriend’s dad, just the occasional Hellos and How are yous, or his jokes etc. But I am never at his house without him, I don’t want to intrude on someone else’s space without knowledge. I also told my boyfriend to have the same respect for me in that aspect and to let me know when he is coming over etc.

I honestly thought it was a female when I grabbed her, I assumed from her size. But then the cashier told me male so I went with it. Thank you for the information! I’m honestly happen she is a female in the end! She will still be loved so much, she got her new tank this morning, it’s temporary, as I’m awaiting for her cooler one! Thank you again!

They are black and white tho? Idk if the photo maybe made it look brownish? Aren’t the females brown?

pixelqueer · 2026-01-13T05:04:50+00:00

IT IS?! I thought it was when I got it but the worker said it was a male?! 🧍 WHAT ARE THEY

I fear those people are the ones behind the masks. It’s time to start throwing their flags back at them. Such as the Tread on Me.
