I could use some help with identification. At first I had thought this was just a piece of a broken grass seed stem, but now I'm thinking it's an insect. Google lens has not been very helpful with this.

r/whatisthisbug locked a thread on deer ticks because people keep recommending that they save the tick and take it in for testing like rabies

they don’t need to do that, statistics alone can tell us that it’s just safer to start the doxycycline

I keep getting suggestions on Reddit from r/whatisthisbug, and I really want to put shoes on now.

nothing should ease my mom's hotel bedbug anxiety more than me passively becoming an expert in identifying bedbugs from following the whatisthisbug subreddit . literally one in three posts is a bedbug there

Saw one of the prettiest wolf spiders to ever wolf spider, can't quite determine what he is tho

A very long, very leggy wolf spider that's mostly dark brown with a thick, pale grey stripe down the back, closely resembling a European badger A close up. There's much thinner grey lines along the leg seams, and the legs themselves are faintly striped in similar shades of brown Another angle, showing off a few of the eyes and demonstrating how the legs get much paler near the ends. Very badger coded still, very pretty. There's also a tiny little odorous house ant worker approaching the spider's face lol

Starting small with a post of this butterfly I saw during my stay in Singapor. I believe this is the Common Rose butterfly (𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘦), but please let me know if I'm wrong #insect #butterfly #nature #photography #AskAnEntomologist #WhatIsThisBug

During my surgical recovery, I’ve greatly enjoyed the Reddit “WhatIsThisBug?” sub. So many weevils!

R/Mycology is pretty fun, too.

Phiddipus audax, or bolt jumping spider, apparently. Thanks Reddit/r/whatisthisbug!

Anyone know what bug this is?
Found in Belgium, pokey thing on its ass and a tiny retractable mouth can grab my finger and hang on to it. Flat with no obvious legs... I should write biology books lol.

Lens says it's a pickle, I am 87% certain it's not.

New day, new butterfl—wait, not a butterfly? My bad. It’s a moth! 💛
Spotted lots of these vibrant yellow beauties in Vietnam and thought they were butterflies. But nope - Dysphania militaris, the False Tiger Moth. What a twist!
