Is it a roach? Looks kinda funny (Hamilton, OH)

May or may not have been exploring tunnels (lots of moisture) and stumbled across some funny-looking insects. Looked kinda roach-like, but I’ve never seen any insect quite like these. What are they?

Great Golden Digger Wasp

These beauties make an appearance in my front yard every year. They are pretty chill in my book. I've never been stung, they are very active and I have seen them dragging katydids and grasshoppers into their burrows a few times. Fascinating little creatures and fairly large

Why can I always sense bugs?

Whenever a bug is out in the open in a room, my head always turns to the direction it is crawling/ flying at without fail. It's weird, like my body can sense them and moves my head to alert my brain of their presence. Does anyone know what this is or relate at all?

Dear r/insects. What are these little guys/gals that are invading my house?

I have returned from a work trip to find some squatters have moved in. I have tried Ant and Roach traps, apparently it's not their flavor because they seem to ignore my offering. I'm in Eastern Washington for location. I appreciate the help!

Is this a cockroach?

God I am really hoping this is not a cockroach. My cat found it behind his cat tree. I am so terribly terrified of cockroaches. Anyone know what kind of bug? And if it is a roach what kind? It looks like one but I'm not so sure because it wasn't super fast like roaches are. And I killed it easily. I am in Tennessee if that makes a difference. Sorry I know this picture isn't very good.

Does anyone know what this is?

I was letting my dogs out to use the bathroom and this big boy started flying at me and landed on the wall. I am very scared and not super familiar with insects but he sounded exactly like a June bug when flying but I don't believe it is one. Looks like a beetle type to me but again, very unfamiliar (and scared to google) what it might be.

Wondering what this is, found in hotel bathroom, started running the second I turned on the lights. Sorry about the picture being poor, I only took one before going down to the receptionist and showing them. My fear is that it is a roach.

I am petrified I have fruit flies eggs in my eyes.

Washed my face and my eyes with a face towel in the dark last night. Today when I picked up the towel I saw a bunch of fruit flies coming off of it, they were just chillin on it. (sadly have a little infestation rn because of an overripe banana that was left out before a trip) What are the chances of me accidentally rubbing fruit flies eggs in my eyes? And if I did, can they survive and come to term in my eyes?

Are roaches getting smarter?

Earlier today I went outside and saw a big roach that was trying to get in my slider door. I went to step on it, and it JUMPED and landed about 6 inches away and laid on its back, pretending to dead.

I have never seen that before. Are they getting smarter?
