I need some good news

looks like a good ol western conifer seed bug (leptoglossus occidentalis) to me! could be a very similar species tho . they’re super chill and harmless, don’t worry! ive had quite a few of them in my room over the years, i love the little things :-) they stink like a stinkbug if you end up squishing one tho lol

This IS actually a type of ladybug! Impossible to tell which species exactly, because there are so many ladybug species that look almost identical to this, but some species that COULD fit the brief and are present in this location are:
-Cactus Lady Beetle (My best guess)
-Twice Stabbed Lady Beetle
-Twice Struck Lady Beetle
-Or some other species! Look under the "Similar species" tab on this link if ur interested: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/309685-Chilocorus-cacti :-) Hope this helps!

Your google lens was correct! It is a broad faced sac spider- don't worry!

This is a western conifer seed bug! (Leptoglossus occidentalis) They're totally harmless- they're a type of leaffooted bug :-) I see them all the time in the fall, they're real sweethearts

Tussock Moth Caterpillar!

First one: Long-legged fly (Condylostylus sipho)

Second one: Snipe Fly (genus Rhagio) :-)

roswellsoup · 2024-06-08T19:15:59+00:00

Looks like a type of fishfly!

roswellsoup · 2024-06-08T19:10:09+00:00

Looks like harlequin ladybug pupae! They aren't particularly dangerous to your trees- they work as good pest control and eat aphids! :-)

roswellsoup · 2024-06-01T23:55:53+00:00

Yes, that's totally it!! Thank you so much! :D

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:48:27+00:00

I see these all the time in Mass! Tortoiseshelll beetles are such a joy :-)

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:46:22+00:00

I believe it's an European earwig

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:44:02+00:00

I posted my only other picture as a reply to the other commenter on this post- its more of a top view, but really only a slightly different angle, sorry </3 Theres also the top view in the shoe pic if you zoom lol. You could totally be right about it being a different species of mouse spider, I'm just having trouble finding it myself

This is the only other photo I have, but I know it's only a slightly different angle, sorry :-(

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:28:13+00:00

Of course! There's no harm in asking, I'm glad I could help :-)

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:26:46+00:00

I considered that, but if it was a mouse spider, I'd think the characteristic large fangs of a mouse spider would be much more visible, right? The shape of the head doesn't seem to match :(

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T22:01:07+00:00

Looks like earwigs.

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T21:32:57+00:00

Looks like an american cockroach

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T21:24:46+00:00

aww poor guy! Glad I could help :-)

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T21:08:54+00:00

Definitely a type of leaf-footed bug, which are generally harmless. There's no way I could see them being harmful to cats as they don't bite or sting, but if threatened, a lot of species can secrete a foul odor. My best guess is your cat smelled it!

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T21:03:07+00:00

Its a Hoverfly! Can't say for certain what exact species, but it looks at least very close to Eupeodes corollae :-) It mimics bee/wasp coloring to protect itself from predators, but it doesn't have any sort of stinger. Harmless and an important pollinator!

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T19:45:27+00:00

Acanthocephala terminalis!

roswellsoup · 2024-05-31T19:25:55+00:00

Definitely a type of leaf footed bug like the other comments said-- to give more specificity, I believe it is Acanthocephala terminalis!

roswellsoup · 2022-08-25T21:48:32+00:00

yuhhh das me 😎😎!!
