Found this beetle while walking on mountain trail near Tbilisi.

After I took it and placed on more open place to take a photo, it curled up and played dead. After several minutes it scuttled away.

Its wings are reduced, so it cannot fly, and abdomen is quite soft on the touch.

I had found Frank (the hammerhead flatworm) while taking soil samples for another experiment, and now we're keeping him as a pet in the lab. He can't get out of his containers, today was the first time I fed him.

Found this fat squishy guy hiding under something in the mountains while visiting my mother’s friends house. She says lots of these come out in the spring or summer and are a vivid blue? Then i see a post today of a blister beetle and its very fat and round and automatically squirting everywhere on this guys hand. This guy was very friendly and i guess sleepy? It moved very slowly.

Spotted in the north Dallas area.

Found this guy here in the kitchen of the chapel I attend to. I hadn't seen one of these in years, and the children loved it!

In Brazil we call them "esperança", which means "hope" in Portuguese

i was in group therapy outside and saw this BEAUTIFUL moth ive never seen before climb under a leaf and take a nap for over an HOUR. i genuinely thought he had passed away knowing some moths just breed then die but when i was trying to collect him he walked! he must be super sleepy lol. if he does pass soon id love to keep him but if hes not there when i come back im happy knowing he passed away under this leaf like he wanted. watching him sleep under this leaf so soundly made me feel really peaceful.

Which one is your favorite?

At first I thought it was a moth and then as I was looking at it I saw the antennae but looking at the picture it looks like that could be a parasite busting out. Even without the antennae I’m at a loss, maybe about the size of a bigger grasshopper

it was suggested to me that i post my creations on this subreddit too :) hope u guys like my funky little guys

Figured you might like to meet her here!

I have just known that there's a National Caterpillar Day, celebrated on September 15!

I missed it this year, so let me celebrate it a month late! 🐛

Here are some caterpillar photos I took last year.

Hello fellow bug lovers I need your help!!

So I've been taking bug pics quite often whenever i can (see pics!!) but as y'all can tell some of them are are quite shaky and not so good, expecially with the camera of my phone, even with macro option on.

I am seeking tips on a good camera that I can get to take better pics, if it exists, maybe an affordable one. I know nothing about cameras and I was wondering if anybody could help out, since for me this is a really nice and relaxing hobby and I enjoy the company of this little critters

Please help! :((

(I dont know if this is in the entomology community rules so sorry in advance)

I thought this was a leaf in one of my fake potted plants, I went to grab it and pull it out when I saw it was this really weird looking insect. Do anyone have any tips or ideas on what it could be?

A broad-headed bark spider (Caerostris sp)

Have you ever seen this guy?

Made a cool find in my yard that that I believe is an imperial moth pupa! Here’s some pictures.

Hi guys, hope ur all doing well!
Unfortunately my baby jumping spider passed away for an unknown reason and I want to preserve him in a ring or necklace of some sort because I loved him a lot. I have no idea how to go about this however so I was hoping for some ideas or tips. It would be super greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance and take care everyone <3
