He’s not doing so well in this pic, but hopefully enough for y’all’s input. They all hover over the grass flying back and forth but generally don’t eff with me or the kids. This is the only pic that doesn’t look like I took it with a potato.

I have a very serious situation on my hands my home is very extremely infested with dust mites inside and outside as well. Although it's a rare occurrence, they have been going inside of me every since I slept with an open wound on my back. My mattress is encased and they still have been entering my body and head (possibly brain) at a rapid rate. There's a heavy presance in bedroom (mattress), bathroom, kitchen, garage & front of house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to hire an expert in Entomology to help create a educational video about Cimex lectularius (Bed Bugs) and treatments for them. Prefer someone who is not camera shy, has extensive experience with bed bugs and interested in helping us. Thanks

I noticed this on a video of some giant hornets. But, I've also noticed it in other videos. Even ones of other insects. I just never gave it any thought until now.

It looks like a heartbeat, or breathing, but since insects don't have a heart, or lungs, that doesn't check out.

I feel like it's related to circulation of hemolymph. But I don't know enough about that (yet) to say one way or the other.

Found this guy while floating a river today

I got both questions and possible solutions for my problem in this post:

Long story short, i live in countryside and there are a lot of open fields, absolutely no civilization asides for some houses with cultivating fields (like mine) and until 5 years or so ago there were various insects everywhere (i Always loved to collect them), but recently i noticed there arent many left asides for some rare isopods and centipedes...

First of all, does anyone know what could be a possible cause? I mean, we dont even see stinkbugs, cockroaches, moths and beetles around anymore, even when flipping rocks. Not even the Good old mantises and Wolf spiders (we once had tons). Not even ladybugs, almost 0.

And now my real question: would It be possible (and Is It legal) to gather as many insects of One specie i find, breed them and release them in large numbers? Like, could i search for a couple bugs (for example 4 millipedes), raise them in masses and free them once i got a huge colony?

This was a random 5am thought i got btw, It May sound dumb or wanky but im really looking for some advices...

And from what i know, no pesticides have been used recently. They do a single spray to protect the fruits on early october every year and thats It, but i dont think thats enough to annhilate an entire population of insects... I dont even see ants around anymore.

Also as i said, my area Is a huge field, and with huge im talking about the size of a ~10k citiziens Town...

I took an entomology course in college in 2014/2015. I have a collection, and some supplies like a box, pins, etc.

Any recommendations or suggestions on where to donate it? In my current role and stage of life, I don’t foresee myself continuing a collection and now I am at the point of wanting to pass my collection along to someone who will benefit from it. I am not looking to make any money from it but would rather it be going somewhere that it would be put to use.

I appreciate any input!
