I'm pretty sure that's an Elephant Hawk Moth, they eat flower nectar.

Mak0rz are you strictly a bee expert or do you also know wasps and hornets and yellowjackets? (I don't have a photo or anything, I'm just curious)

Alrighty, it's kind of a long shot but I figure if anyone can figure out what the heck this is, it's you guys:

This little critter was found on the leaf of a wild black cherry tree (sorry it's blurry, all I have is a camera phone) and it's a few millimeters long at best. I'm in Southwestern Ontario.



edit: replaced with a better photo

Using plants native to your area for your plantings is far and above the best way to foster local wildlife, especially pollinators

:hai:

Mom replaced most of her garden with native plants and now she's getting ten kinds of bees or something equally absurd. And so may goddamn wasps. It's a hymenoptera mosh put every time I visit.

I saw a neat bug on a customer's car, they were nice enough to let me photograph it.



Seek says it's a Western Conifer Seed Bug.

Have some bugs:



Tan Jumping Spider



Little Wood Satyr



And this is some some kind of litter moth, probably either a Common Idia Moth or American Idia moth. Look how loving small it is!!!
