New-to-me critters this AM! August 2023 Central Texas.

The angle on the bird is not the best. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo?

A fancy green dragonfly. A Green Skimmer?

A mystery member of hymenoptera, bee-shaped and black but for a smooth red abdomen. They're not on a flower & it looks like they might have prey? A male mutilidae wasp? The wings & lack of fuzz on the abdomen seem more bee like than velvet waspish? No idea

this fella was about 4-5cm long, slow-walking, no attempt at flying and sort of ambled dozily towards me every time i tried to take a photo from a different angle 😅 what is it? #entomology #bugID #kanto #japan

Any #entomologists or #entomology folks can help me pseudo-ID a bug?
I saw it come into the bathroom from under the baseboards, there's a small gap area.
Dark colour, possibly 1cm size, small "but a large small", moved fast. It came in, stopped, and went RIGHT back into the same hole.

Now I'm fearing it's bedbugs but that seems unlikely, I've been in this place a few months now... But what could it have been?? Didn't seem like a cockroach ...
Thanks!

Alguien sabe cómo se llaman estos amiguitos?

If you’re trying to get mystery insects/arthropods identified here, you should probably be at iNaturalist instead.

All the same, the hashtag #bugID might call your Q to the attention of the appropriate experts here. #insects #spiders
