Any ideas on what kind of moth this is?

Found in Oklahoma, about 1 cm long

We've had some Honorary Essential Employees in the store I work at in the past few days.

This was my favorite, just today. Found him sitting in the parking lot when we were taking the trash out. I thought it was a rock until I noticed a long tail. Juvenile snapping turtle. Two days previous one of the other managers found a large fully grown snapper wandering onto our sidewalk. Odd since we're about a quarter mile away from any water that isn't a crummy drainage ditch. She managed to track down someone that deals with turtles that came to pick up the visitor to be relocated to the river. So we contacted the same people to come give the baby a ride to the same location.

My wife recused this Red Eared Slider hatchling from the outdoor cats, so it got a photoshoot before being placed a little further away from the house.

Caught this puppy in my house and released outside. It chilled out in the glass for a while before departing. Im looking at a page of insects in my area (northern VA) and I see some that look very similar, like the four toothed mason wasp, but no exact matches. I'm not sure how much color can vary. Any ideas?

How about different Mason Wasp, Ancistrocerus campestris?

Got there from here.

A huge spindly spider has adopted my back door area where the bugs get in when i put the dogs out at night and he's only got 6 legs so at first I wrote him off as a faker but now he's got a whole collection of earwig trophies dangling there around the worst, dumbest web ive ever seen and frankly I'm still not convinced this isn't some kind of insect humor at my expense but if this weird dumb insect identifies as a spider I'll do my best to respect its wishes as long as it stays in one spot and continues to defend the homestead against invaders

Cool. Does it look like this?

Hmm, they're not THAT big, as far as hawks go...maybe it's a juvie?

I was looking at more pictures and thinking I might have spoken too soon. And thinking the pictures of juveniles did look a lot like yours.

This is one that lives in our woods from earlier in the year, poufed up for the cold, but still seeming longer of body.

Does anyone know what this is? I'm in central alabama, was just chilling on a wall. I can usually track these down but i can't figure out what it is. It's a moth of some sort, right?

Pandorus Sphinx Moth, I think.

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

I think it's a planthopper or leafhopper nymph.

What type of bug is this? My backyard was swarming with them. I squished a yellow jacket on the edge of my lawn and literally thousands of them poured out of that footstep. They are barely bigger than ants, maybe 2 mm on average. I am thinking false chinch bug based on google searching? In the SF bay area if that helps.

I'd say you're right. That one is a juvenile.

Found this pretty... uh, I think it's a boy? Anyway, found it on my bedroom wall just now.

I have absolutely no idea what I am looking at here, but it's very pretty. Just look at that pattern! I couldn't even tell until the photo came out, that was a very pleasant surprise.

It's a spitting spider! Pretty much everything about them is interesting.

Judging from the map here https://www.hummingbirdcentral.com/hummingbird-migration-spring-2020-map.htm they do make it up there so you could give it a shot next year.

Bug sighting, on tomato plant:

never seen one like this before!

I think it's a Big-Legged Plant Bug nymph, Acanthocephala terminalis.

Hey, I have a little question for you good people. Today I found this little Opilionid on my home's outside wall and it's not anything special except for the fact that, uh...

...it seems to have pincers. I have absolutely no idea what the gently caress is up with that, because Harvestmen do not have pincers. They just don't. Can someone explain?

Fork-palped Harvestman?

Sometimes the critters come to you. This lil buddy figured they'd stay the day in my apartment. (It was ejected gently out the window after I took the photo.)
It's.... a norwegian moth of some kind, but I couldn't find a sure ID on the site I looked up. The spots are fairly distinctive. (~3-4cm or so long.)
(South-eastern Norway.)

Maybe a Svensson's Copper Underwing, Amphipyra berbera.

This thing is hanging around on my ceiling. Presumably been hibernating - there's still snow outside (Norway).

Looks like some kind of green lacewing

Finally got my girlfriends garden slug stuff under control, but her button bush was still getting munched up like crazy. We found this guy under a leaf, but I can't really identify it. Some kind of sawfly maybe? Inaturalist wasn't much help and lord knows with bugs and their instars.

Cropping and rotating got seek/inaturalist to come up with typical sawflies.
