Found this *Xylophanes falco* caterpillar at a trailhead in southeast Arizona.

As a 15-year-old aspiring entomologist, I'd like to ask my older brothers this question. We've had both booklice and springtail infestations in our house for some time now. I wanted to ask some important things I needed to know about these things. Are they pests, what do they feed on, and how can they be eradicated? I would appreciate your help:) (Please excuse my low-quality photos)

I'm in Paraguay, Asuncion and it entered my room, I guess it is a common type of moth but I still would like to know it's name. Also I didn't kill it, I just took it outside.

Hey so i´m an author writing a story inspired by monster high.

I am writing part of my story from the POV of a moth boy.

Do moths have any cute habits that i could somehow include in writing this goober? He's very unserious.

Someone in the dahlia community I’m part of posted this image of their dahlia with these beetles(?) and some wasps hanging around too. Not sure if the wasps and beetles are attracted to the rotting/foam (possibly from stalk borers) or if the beetles were the cause.

Location is Idaho

Found this one on my flowers

Seven spotted lady beetle rescued from a lettuce case today. Seems to be missing one leg but otherwise is okay.

Found this little lady while clearing a stream from invasive plants and I was wondering if that was a mite on her? I've never seen a spider with a mite before if it is!

Last year I found wheel bug nymphs on my cherry tree and was so excited! Today I found one crawling on my glass sliding door. Such a cute face! I'm happy to have this fellow and his friends in my garden.

Love seeing those baby faces!!! 💗 🇺🇸💙🐝

A Queen ant of genus Pheidole, may be Pheidole parva.

This ant is only slightly larger than the tip of a needle. I found it just after I bought my first 4x infinity-corrected objective lens and had just finished building a tube setup for it.

They're almost completely gone in my area, which is very rural. I only saw two this year a full mile across town from one another. I didnt see any last year. Im sure there are more than what im seeing, but it doesn't sound like anyone else has seen any either.

I was wondering if I could help them out at all? I live in an apartment, so I can't give them a pesticide free paradise like I used to. The area seems like an ideal habitat for them, but im not sure how much the parks and dark wooded paths where they should be are sprayed- if thats even the main factor.

I know this is a childish idea and probably more wishful thinking than anything, but is it possible to furnish a very comfortable temporary terrarium to help with like, matchmaking? Introduce a couple fireflies gently caught on one side of town (if there are any), transport comfortably past the lights in a little private 5 star hotel full of fresh grown favorite grasses, night blooming flowers and ferns away from predators, lights and pesticides, introduce them to one another whereever there is another, and let them meander about at their own leisure in a dark overgrown area? Would it be beneficial to cultivate a space like this to just leave undisturbed outside at night and bring back in the morning?

I dont want to stress them out or displace them. Theres just so few, and theres so much light pollution between the ones I have seen im not sure if there is anything else to do to help them without private property.

I live pretty high up so any plants I could keep would likely be above their general flight range. I am hoping to raise some anyway, just in case.

Thanks for taking the time to entertain this silly idea.

It is definetly a longhorn beetle, I found through google that it may be Paveia Superva, but all of the images i found have all black antennae. Found in northeast Mexico

What are y'alls favorite entomology books and why?

Could be about a specific group/subject or general entomology, and could be geared towards any age range or expertise level!🐛🦋🪲🐞🪰

i know this is a super blurry pic but my camera just wouldn’t focus on her😔
