I have huge bushes out my bedroom window, which faces the setting sun. This time of year, I can only stick the screen in my window for a short time, because I hate waking up with spiders on me, and moths gross me out (I know you folks like them, I just don't). I also have remote control lightbulbs in my room because I like weirdo lighting, so my question is – can bugs see red light more than blue? Is there a color I can use that won't attract insects in my window? If this is a stupid question and you guys want to make fun of me, have at it, but if there's an actual answer, I'd appreciate it.

Hi! My question is in the title. I had the idea of starting an entomology club at my college. The problem is, I don't know where to start, and I go to a widely engineering-based school, with not many resources for biology related subjects. I also do not know if I am qualified to start an entomology club, since my knowledge is currently very limited, as I don't have access to professional education for it. Does anybody have any tips for how I would begin to set one up? Like activities or events I could hold without having access to many live or pinned specimens? I'd love to finally revive my childhood entomology special interest in an educational and engaging way that I can share with others. If anyone has any questions thst would help them answer mine, let me know! Thank you!

Whats this bug crawling on my damn bed Susan

I thought this was a larder beetle, but the markings on its abdomen and head are different. Can anyone identify.

A friendly sales representative wanted to know if I want to switch to Cricket Wireless. (I love puns)

Is that some sort of a wheel bug? Sorry, I don’t have a clearer picture of this. If anyone can tell me. We’ve had one on our porch and my nephew wanted to touch it, but I’m not sure if these things can sting.

This milkweed has a few visiting tarantula hawk wasps. They normally let me get close for a pic, since they are just foraging. They sound louder than a hummingbird 😳

Needed to know if this thing was an ant or a wasp, also cause it dropped dead the morning after I used an efficient mosquito killer machine, and I saw more of its kind (alive) on my window stills. Would really appreciate if someone could tell me if I should be proactive about this, thanks!

Hi all! My boss recently gifted me a freshly passed on dragonfly (green darner by the looks of it). I want to put it in a shadow box display, but never worked on a semi fresh specimen. All the insects I’ve worked on were already dried and ready to go. Is there anything I need to do to this bad boy before I start pinning? Any advice is greatly appreciated!! :-)

Mother found this in our backyard. Unsure if this is some sort of hornet or wasp.

I just want to identify them before I either keep or destroy them, I want to guess squash or stink bug just from a quick google but figured someone would know better than I do. TIA!

My buddy found this is Parker, Arizona. Any ideas what it could be?

Hi everyone, I'm an artist and I sometimes need reference images of bugs and insects for my work. Google works fine most of the time, but sometimes I need specific angles/images and would like to know if there's specific keywords I could be using to better my search? Or good databases/resources that have high quality images? Thanks in advance for any help :)

I'm in memorial park in Rapid City SD and found a marvelous bug near the creek that I couldn't take a photo of. It was a bright silver blue in the sunlight, cicada or triangle shaped with a broader head and smaller "tail" and had two pairs of dark, leaf shaped wings (blackthorn leaf shape). It flew fairly fast and had a hover pattern like a damselfly. Any ideas?

Is there a pet insect you can feed wild bugs to? I know a variety of insects can’t due to pesticides and parasites, but I’m curious.
