@indomitablespirits submitted: Who is this little dude I found at work?? Some kind of nymph I assume? About the size of a nail head and the protrusion is his tail end. Found in North Florida.

Yes, looks like a buffalo treehopper nymph! Couldn't say which species, though.

It's a buffalo treehopper, but exact species would depend on where it came from. There are lots of little dudes who look just like this.

Little guy I found walking across the kitchen floor. I don't recognize it, and this is Canada in December, so presumably it came from the head of lettuce I had out on the counter.

out in the yard, I have some old twine tied around the bean support from last year. was out watering today and saw a paper wasp land on the twine and start biting it.

I have seen them do this on actual, y'know, wood support posts and stuff to collect it. but... apparently jute twine is similar enough to work for nest-building. huh.

Too many queer people named Bug. Gotta differentiate everyone in a room if there’s more than one Bug. If you don’t pick one I’ll assign one.

I’m Wasp, Nice to meet you Buffalo Treehopper.

@usb-shtick​ submitted: little fellow i found in the kitchen. flew out of sight shortly after the second picture was taken

my dad says it’s a baby leafbug but i’m not sure

This friend has fully formed wings, so it’s an adult, not a juvenile! They are a buffalo treehopper, probably Stictocephala lutea :)

Misc photos I didn’t feel like making them their own post:

Bald-faced hornet, Dolichovespula maculata

Grass tubeworm moth, Acrolophus sp., possibly mora?

Spotted lanternfly. Found a bunch of these over at a place I was visiting. Killed any I could. It’s a little scary how dominant they seem to be becoming.

Tiger crane fly, Nephrotoma ferruginea

Buffalo treehopper, Stictocephalia bisonia. This silly critter got brought inside by accident when I was collecting leaves for caterpillars. I safely released them the following day.

Bald faced hornet nest.

This one’s not even a bug lmfao

Mourning dove, Zenaida macroura
