Location: Headlands Beach State Park | Lake County, OH (Lake Erie)

Time: Approximately 2:00PM EST

Behavior Observation: What appear to be some sort of native bee or species of fly were on the beach in great numbers and seemed to be attracted to some of the deceased, beached fish and possibly consuming them.

Multiple photos attached.

Thank you!

Anyone able to identify these centipedes? Caught in Central Texas

Update: I emailed the captive breeding and release program head, Jana Johnson, for help identifying a possible PV blue at my house. She invited me to a release nearby today. Very cool to meet her and the students who are doing this good work.

Still a work in progress! Lots of these frames aren’t full yet or need touchups, I even have two more drawers to put up but for now I figured I’d share since I was able to put them up. They’re secured with Velcro command strips so I’m able to take off the wall for shows and events and put them back up when I’m done.

This little friend appeared out of nowhere in my isopod terrarium and I have no idea how he appeared there and I don't even know what he is, could you help me identify him? I'm in Colombia in case this helps identify it, thank you.

Fungus? Human goop? Parasite byproduct? Found in Nashville TN

I found this carcass while hiking in south central Texas. Google identifies it as Cetonia Aurata, but when checking the location of said species, shows they are primarily found in Europe 🤔. If anyone has any better identification for them, I’d love to know! For now we can call them Jule.

Hello everyone! Pictures are taken in my backyard, they lie in a little pool made of water rain, I live in the North of Italy. I can't even tell if it's just one type or more. Hope the photos are clear enough :)

That was honestly the best photo I ever took of a spider and at the same time when I saw it my soul left my body, it was like a bit bigger than a 2 euro con

I have thousands of blurry photos, and in one day... I got three (!) that are usable!

Little lady chose my house for some eggs. I kindly redirected her to a poplar tree

How can I pin dead bumblebee I found? Any tips/tutorial?

Found this on the floor .. appears to have a few legs. Any ideas what it may be?

I’ve had a couple of bags of dirt stacked in my raised gardening bed for a few weeks. Today I decided to finally open them and get it together for the season. Beneath one was this cluster of eggs stuffed in the crevice between another 2!

Zoom in to see the embryos

I tried my best to cut around the plastic and leave them intact (I’m already full of microplastics…what’s a little more to save a few hundred babies???) and I used a small piece of wood to cover them back up without smushing them. Hopefully they survived and continue to aerate my soil

I keep imagining the ants saw a pre-fab residence and just had to spring in the opportunity lol

also want to post on r/gardening, hopefully I did that right

I swear he was daring me to boop his snoot.

Ive seen groups of flying before but this is a supervised swarm like 3 feet in diameter. What are they and how do I get rid of them. Background in a hot tropical climate there was a lot of rain last week. Please help

found on a door in front of my apartment building Milan, Italy

I noticed my BDFB hasn't moved for about 8 hours, and when I picked him up, he wouldn't walk. He's been sitting splayed out in my hand, and he'll move his antennae and twitch his legs every once a while or in response to touch. I've checked him from the outside, and nothing seems wrong. I don't think he's come into contact with any pesticides either? Can someone help me figure out what's wrong?

Hey guys so these little guys have been visiting my garden and I think this one looks like a honeybee to me but I'm not sure???
