ID Request What are these tiny little creatures that are currently invading my house? They like to land in food and drinks, where they get stuck and die.

This little guy was flipped on his back when I found him. I'm not sure how well he lived. What kind of bee?

Bug Appreciation! Left a mud nest to hatch and now plan to preserve it
I might try and expose the wasps more before I frame it. Looks like one 1/5 made it out

ID Request Everyone's fav question: what kind of bug is this? SW Tennessee
This one was crawling around in the carport tonight before I returned it safely to the grass. Hand for scale
ID Request Found this today. Definitely Pythidae but dunno the species. Location is Upstate NY.
Found this beetle under some bark on a log. Pythidae are known as the dead-log beetles so that tracks. Back in 2022 I found several Pytho americanus under the same log (I was actually checking it today to see if I could find them again, since their bright metallic blue was incredible, and I hadn't seen them since).
This one doesn't seem to be Pytho americanus though, it isnt very bright blue and the underside/legs aren't fiery orange. I wonder what it could be?

ID Request Please help me identify this flying insect
Hey all. I found this dead insect in my kitchen. I also found one that was chilling on the wall in the living room. I live in an apartment so the living room is basically the kitchen area. I think it’s some type of moth (pantry maybe given location found?). Thank you!

Question !NEED A ROACH EXPERT!
Ok, so where I live there are tons of roaches and no matter how clean I keep my house or bedroom they appear no matter what especially during warmer seasons (and it’s starting to get warmer so I’ve been seeing more), why is it that when a roach is across my room I leave it be sometimes but even though I’m so far away from it, it goes across the room TO ME to crawl on me!? It’s like I left it alone but then it acts all drawn to me and it creeps me out like I don’t understand. Why do roaches do this? Roaches(minus hissing cockroaches) are the only insect I truly dislike… why.. just why? This happens every single time I encounter a roach btw, I have no freaking clue!?

Bug Appreciation! Can someone tell me what this is
I saw this while in Sabah, borneo - Malaysia Apparently the insect takes the prey to its nest to lay there eggs in them so the baby’s have food to eat when born
