real life BUG WATCH! If you find a fun insect, report it here!

[zj]

Hey y'all! 

Today I went to the bug watch thread - and I got so excited! Not because I love computer errors, but because I thought the thread was about interesting looking insects! The realization made me a bit sad, until I remembered I can make my own thread!

So, post any interesting looking bugs here :) I'll start:

This adorable lil guy is a rosy maple moth!


You don't need to find it personally irl, my example is from the web :)

Nice thread idea! The rosy maple moth is charming indeed.

I'm a bug fan myself, though not really a bug expert. Here is a little guy who decided to land on me before I got in my car a few weeks ago. He had fun crawling all over my hand during the car ride. Not sure what kind of beetle he is, but he was super cute, I loved watching his little legs running around. And what a handsome face!

I love buuuugs!
we currently have a ladybug in our kitchen. Saw him again yesterday.
I assume its an asian ladybug. I pretty much only see these guys around, the classic red ladybug is rare D: I used to see so many.

I also have isopods wandering around in my room on occasion.. although I am a bit unsure where they're coming from. I don't have open cracks, a net in front of the windows and closed doors. who knows.. I don't mind them though! I collect them in my plant terrarium, they seem to like it there. I have about 4 or 5 in there now. :'D last addition was 2 days a go.

I took this picture quite some time ago of a very large katydid! (Or maybe it's regular sized, I hadn't really ever seen one before so I didn't know they got this big around where we live)
It's one of those bugs you can hear all the time but unless you're actively looking for them probably don't see nearly as often!

And if you're wondering what they sound like:
