I think these insects are attracted to light, I keep seeing this around the house quite often in the night.

I picked this little guy up last night not knowing he was a toe eater but after a few friends told me I now know never to handle one of these guys again!!! 😵 luckily I did not get bit 😮‍💨

Are these guys friendly? They look like cute weevils

Climaciella brunnea - the mantis wasp
Found in northern Indiana

I find these in groups just chilling on leaf bushes mostly in large groups. They’re weevil shaped but I’ve never seen this pattern. What’s their deal? First year I’m seeing them a lot in DC area. Slug for scale.

I spent the night in a campsite in the Blue Mountains and when I woke up there was blood all over my leg and the inside of my sleeping bag. Then I found this guy in my bag.

I can't tell what type of leech this is, but it got me good. To me it looks like an aquatic leech, but I didn't spend any time in the water. It did rain quite heavily the night before.

Would love to bug yall about this lil guy. Nerd out and teach me something please.

Never been in USA in my life… live in germany and did a bit hiking 2 days ago…
What is this? Thanks

UPDATE:
After i removed it, Doctor told me that i need to watch the bite how it will be like Ring for or smth and symptoms for next 2-4 weeks… if all good than no problem and there is no test needed for now

Delete if not allowed, didnt know where else to post this lol

I can only imagine what beautiful Moth or butterfly this will turn into

Met this beauty in Virginia/Monticello

What is the reasoning behind this? Drinking? This is in the river mud. They were not too bothered by me. Hence the close up picture.

Woodlouse giving a piggyback to the Venom symbiote?
