My ID app is saying this is a Purple Emperor Chrysalis but that is highly unlikely in Ireland.
If anyone can suggest lookalikes or online resources to look through I'd be very grateful!

I could use some help with identification. At first I had thought this was just a piece of a broken grass seed stem, but now I'm thinking it's an insect. Google lens has not been very helpful with this.

An evil crab looking creature from outer space most likely on a cannabis leaf.

A very overexposed picture of two reddish worm things on the underside of a lily pad
Same worms, darker photo, one's a little longer n fatter but they're both under a lily pad against acrylic (it's an old sea monkey thing)
Another one, kinda blending in with the lily pad stem as its paler face looks around for food
Plagues your timeline with maybe-leeches. Fuck you
Anyways they love algae n lily pads, one had the chance to eat a baby scud and did not, they move like inchworms, and the leading end is pointy while the tail end is like a very strong suction cup

Anyone know what bug this is?
Found in Belgium, pokey thing on its ass and a tiny retractable mouth can grab my finger and hang on to it. Flat with no obvious legs... I should write biology books lol.
Lens says it's a pickle, I am 87% certain it's not.
#whatisthisbug
A very long, very leggy wolf spider that's mostly dark brown with a thick, pale grey stripe down the back, closely resembling a European badger
A close up. There's much thinner grey lines along the leg seams, and the legs themselves are faintly striped in similar shades of brown
Another angle, showing off a few of the eyes and demonstrating how the legs get much paler near the ends. Very badger coded still, very pretty. There's also a tiny little odorous house ant worker approaching the spider's face lol
Saw one of the prettiest wolf spiders to ever wolf spider, can't quite determine what he is tho

Unidentified Chrysalis Ireland Laois co
PictureInsect app is identifying this as a cabbage white butterfly chrysalis but I wasn't sure the reference photo matched. Anybody on #bugsky have a good UK/Ireland resource #WhatIsThisBug
A shrimp ??? Thing with 2 little horn. Antennae. Thingies. It's very very round in the front and it's curled up rn
Elongated. It has little black eye spots near the bottom of its lopsided massive fucking head, and its tail is a bunch of ridged segments
Hey who the fUCk decided to have babies on top of our pool cover and then bring shrimp in too

New day, new butterflβwait, not a butterfly? My bad. Itβs a moth! π
Spotted lots of these vibrant yellow beauties in Vietnam and thought they were butterflies. But nope - Dysphania militaris, the False Tiger Moth. What a twist!

Starting small with a post of this butterfly I saw during my stay in Singapor. I believe this is the Common Rose butterfly (ππ’π€π©ππͺπ°π±π΅π’ π’π³πͺπ΄π΅π°ππ°π€π©πͺπ’π¦), but please let me know if I'm wrong #insect #butterfly #nature #photography #AskAnEntomologist #WhatIsThisBug
Some sort of insect on a window edge. The insect is 18mm long, 12mm of that seems to be a thin tail. It looks like a tiny dragon fly with almost scorpion-like forelimbs. It doesn't look intimidating.
#WhatIsThisBug? I'm in Wales and it's about 18mm long in total, 6mm of which is body.

The underside of a small orbweaver, you can see some of the white on the back and some of the black and orange patterns on the belly due to the angle
A tiny brown spider with a thick dark brown stripe down the back, with what seems to be more of a house web
Forgor til now but anyways. My weirdass kids (orchard orbweaver and smth really really tiny, probably wolf spider spawn)

A dark brownish isopod with tiny, slightly lighter markings. I can't figure out the species for this guy but it sure as hell ain't a common or a nosy pill
The pale brown spider with an orange heart on his belly, bro has absolutely been growing i think cuz his legs are LONG
Some feathers in a teal-ish cleaning liquid, crammed into a narrow jar
The results and also my son (2/2)

Very small greyish spider on a web above a rose of Jericho and some dried rose petals. There's a bright orange spot on their belly.
The same spider, a bit blurrier of a picture but the orange is still visible and the abdomen seems to have a notable curve to it.
The spider again. The ends of the legs get darker, and there's 3 smaller black spots next to the orange, which also connects to the abdomen with 2 lines.
An attempted side view. The back of the spider's abdomen is white compared to the darker tone of the rest of the body.
Spider son. Doing very well in my pickle jar, I think they've been growing a bit too. Anyways seek says they're an orb weaver but it can't get much further than that due to how obscenely tiny the spider is

πͺ° Can an #entomologist help me identify these #flies
I think one is eating the other

An unknown black fly on an unknown pink flower
A third party has entered the chat. #whatisthisbug #insectidentification
A brown crab spider, their patterning and colors almost resembling a wolf spider. They sit on some fern leaves.
Y'all know what this man is, seek is struggling and I've had him for a while now

A tan ish isopod with 2 hard to see white tails and black eyes on a paper towel
The same dude, but a brighter picture and more of a back view. His back end is much darker
Again
PSPSPSPSPS HEY BUGSKY I found this tired lil dude on his back in the bathroom at my work, what flavor of isopod is he
#isopod #bugs #bugsky #inverts #invertsky #whatisthisbug
A tiny yellow bug with clear, black-veined wings and black patterning on its head and abdomen. Its front legs seem to be held up a little.
And also this lad, I'm pretty sure this one's an aphid but the colors were very bright and pretty and I have no clue if it was actually an aphid
#bugs #bugsky #inverts #invertsky #whatisthisbug
A vertically short, small brown spider with a lighter beige stripe on its abdomen and a white stripe on its darker head
A long black spider with a white stripe sits inside a fold of orange fabric. Better pics of this lad to come
A red/black jumping spider, hard to see cuz the sun is bright. He looks like an ant
The previous dude but on wood and facing the camera. Again hard to see at first, but he stared at me while taking the picture and I'm so happy about it
Today's spider finds. I have no clue what any of them are, I just know the one in the fabric tunnel is doing amazing, and the one that looks like an ant is a very skittish and sweet jumping spider

Is anyone able to identify this butterfly I pinned for my sister earlier this month?
#bugsky #whatisthisinsect #whatisthisbug #entomology
Brown beetle w white markings on the wing casings and very spindly black legs/antenna
Another bug. This man was fast, did try to bite me when I tried to grab em w my hand, and the underbelly is GREEN
#bugsky #bug #inverts #invertsky #whatisthisbug #beetle
My best guess is some sort of fly or true bug, though I'm likely pretty far off. Another good tag to ask is #whatisthisbug, they're a huge help
Yo inhabitants of #whatisthisbug and #bugsky, what do y'all think these are? The first one seems like a baby dragonfly or damselfly - likely dragon seeing as i haven't really seen any damsels this year - and the second seems like either a burrower or a stinkbug.
Yoooo can someone tell me wtf kind of bug this is??? I found it again but the carpet kinda makes it hard to see itβs legs, so I made a quick sketch back when I first saw it :0
What is it!? Itβs like across between a daddy long leg and centipede

Everything says this is a green stinkbug, is it tho? He's hella elaborate, esp for a stinkbug
