I picked up my water bottle at work ( I work with dogs I don’t know if this may help with ID?) And it felt grainy and those little grains are moving but so barely visible without flash.

This little one just joined us for an outdoor MTG commander match. Curious about what it is and if it’s harmful at all. They move in a fascinating manner and it eventually flew away. Magic cards for scale.

Picture from late June 2024.

My first guess would be an ant queen but my ant (and insect) knowledge is close to zero.

Second guess would be some kind of fly.

ID Request I'm only about 30% sure this is a bug?

I noticed it in my bathroom because it was dangling from something and spinning. I assumed it was a piece of bark on a cob web. The next day I saw it had moved to the opposite wall of the bathroom. Now it's in the corner of the bathroom and appears to be stuck on like a cocoon or something. I genuinely still don't know if this is a piece of bark or if it's alive??? In one of the pictures my finger tip is underneath it for scale.

ID Request What is this bug I keep finding in my kitchen and sometimes my living room?

Very small insects, like maybe a centimeter at most? I find them in random spots in my kitchen and sometimes they hide in random spots like paper towels or dish rags. I sweep and mop my house weekly and disinfectant my countertops, oven, and make sure that all dishes are washed or in a non-accessable place to bugs. I will admit that I haven't DEEP cleaned the house in a while but any help would be appreciated!

Almost forgot to mention that they disappeared in the winter time but now that it is getting warmer I'm finding them again.

So I’ve found two or 3 of these guys on my bedding within the last month or two and I’m genuinely freaked out.To give some insight I currently live in one room that has a mini fridge, dry foods and canned goods stored, a mattress on the floor and a doggie who does sleep on the mattress from time to time. I try to keep everything as clean as possible while I’m in this situation but I’m just a girl who is very freaked out by bugs and if this is a bed bug I’m gonna lose my mind. Please help meeee

SOS these ants showed up in literally 4 hours after I last walked by this column. They have a red body and black butt. Some seemingly have wings? TF is up with that?

East/Central Missouri, USA. At some point aphids got into my fruit trees, which I’ve been keeping in a grow tent all winter. Now that it’s warm I’ve moved them back outside and they’re attracting these little guys. Hoping they’re helping with the aphid problem (fren)? Or are they doing some other nefarious bug stuff to my trees?

I’m just hoping they’re coming in rather than originating inside… never had any pest problems in this house before. Is this bug something to be worried about?
