  1. Creature Identification help, please

    Can the bug knowledgable fedi-friends identify this for me please? INaturalist has clearly failed utterly here, as it obviously isn't a Ladybird/bug.

  2. Looks like it's the Dielis pilipes, Hairy-footed Scoliid Wasp!

    These bees live in the ground, maybe sorta solitary but in communities? Lots of holes in the dry sandy silt ground where they live. The fly around in patterns around the nests. I thought maybe some sort of cuckoo bee but I'm not sure. They're big, about 25mm long. Some kind of bee, wasp, hornet. More pics in the reply.

  3. Some kind of June beetle? It was on European plum blossom. I went back to collect it later but it was gone.

  4. Some native bees on the flowers. Bombus vagans on a cucumber, a tiny and black bee or wasp on the bee balm, some sort of longhorn bee on rudbeckia, and Bombus vagans again on the hyssop.

  5. I think this might be the same species as the first pic above (this is a reply). Maybe it's just a leafcutter bee leaving the other one with the big head unknown.

    This was on a daylily.

  6. Not sure what these are. sand wasp, weevil wasp, pollen wasp? I thought it was the same insect but I see my first photo was a different one so they pulled a switcheroo.

    They were on the baby's breath, Gypsophila paniculata.

  7. Any #entomologists or #entomology folks can help me pseudo-ID a bug?
    I saw it come into the bathroom from under the baseboards, there's a small gap area.
    Dark colour, possibly 1cm size, small "but a large small", moved fast. It came in, stopped, and went RIGHT back into the same hole.

    Now I'm fearing it's bedbugs but that seems unlikely, I've been in this place a few months now... But what could it have been?? Didn't seem like a cockroach ...
    Thanks!
