 Pretty blue for a fly guy, or whatever the kids say these days.  A bug.  Some sorta weevil, maybe the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis)?  A bumblebee! They're the best!  Scary and ticklish and awesome to have one on your finger.  Look at them hairy legs!  Gave it some agave syrup on my hand because it seemed a bit down, later it flew off merrily when I took it outside. But I forgot to take any photos for identification, this was probably the best one for the markings. Location: Finland. Noticed only when looking at the photos: is that some sort of parasite on its shoulder?

Mak0rz posted:Looks like Bombus pascuorum at a glance but I'm not very familiar with European species. That's what I was leaning towards after a bit of research, so quite likely. Thanks for the other identifications as well, everyone! I like bumble butts and I cannot lie.  A queen ant? Was really big.  A fly.  A hoverfly.

Some Finnish bugs.  A weevil.  A bug.  A spider.  A mosquito trying to pierce my armor.

Falukorv posted:Looks like you found the infamous large pine weevil! Very pretty weevil imo but also considered a pest in forestry as it ring-barks spruce and pine seedlings en masse following clear cuts. Thanks! The name sounded familiar and I noticed I had identified one myself last year, so I guess they're quite common here.

(These are all in Southern Finland if someone enjoys further id'ing.) A green lacewing.  Some sort of solitary bee?  A basic bee.  A bee of the bumbling variety. Bombus terrestris or Bombus lucorum, I presume.  A beetle trying to look like a bee. Trichius fasciatus.  A green rose chafer (Cetonia aurata) hiding in a flower.  Long boi.  A green spider. Araniella cucurbitina?  An orb-weaver, I think, maybe Araneus diadematus.  A hoverfly.  A run-of-the-mill fly.  Tiny fren.  Silhouette.

Chinston Wurchill posted:Neat bee-mimicking beetle! Bee-tle? Thanks, here's another pic with the back showing a bit better.  vaguely posted:You got Araniella right for your green spider, but to go any further than that you need microscope ID - there's a couple of basically identical species which you can only tell apart by comparative hardcore spider pornography Okay, maybe we'll just let them be unknown. I don't wanna bother them too much. quote:I think your hoverfly could be Volucella pellucens the pied hoverfly, a very smart looking boy Cool, thanks! That one appears to be called "wasp guest" in Finnish, because it lays eggs inside a wasp nest so the larvae can feed on debris there. Nature's so weird and cool.

my cat is norris posted:Also here is a spoder trying to be skinny: I think I found its Finnish cousin!  Also a jumping spider!  A tiny greenish beetle.  Celastrina argiolus, perhaps.  A Formica ant with some aphids.  A pseudoscorpion.  A flying bugge.  A basic fly.  I dunno, a hammerhead fly?
