Am I a bee or a wasp?
Can some ID this cutie for me please, I’m thinking a nomad bee Rolf some sort. Found in RSPB Sandy UK July. Heavily cropped as so small.

I could just about see this with my naked eye. Found Royston Hertfordshire England on the 27th of May 2023 if anyone wants to have a go at identifying it.

Ok bumblebee folks, is this a bombus Morrisonii that I spotted in Sunriver, OR a few days ago? It was strikingly yellow. Central Oregon, east of the Cascades, pine forest. #beesky #bumblebee #bombus #insectID

Meant to tag #insectID on this too. Square is 6mm
I found this little cutie on the sill of a restaurant window that was about to be cleaned. Definitely a jumper, maybe a Salticus scenicus? Any one able to confirm? #spider #arachnids

Is this #hoverfly Luniger sp? Don’t think it’s Scaeva — but could be wrong. Couldn’t get better pic. Wings look a bit cloudy. Can #entomology or #diptera person help ID? In Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. @jillwhitelock.bsky.social

Can anyone help me with the ID of this bee? Snapped yesterday in NW Illinois. I am a beginner bumble enthusiast and this one is tripping me up with the seemingly smooth black thorax.

This is a long shot I know, but can anyone help me with whether this thing is animal or vegetable? It's about 2.5 -3 mm long and was stuck on an indoor wall of my house. Looks very odd, and a bit like a pupa but certainly biological

Finding identification of this caterpillar to be harder than anticipated! Thought it'd be a quick job (is there a comprehensive resource that categorises most UK caterpillars by appearance?) but not that quick.
