Never seen these before. They are all over the butterfly weed seed pods but sure aren't butterflies! Also seem to like the pink zinnias nearby.

Orange Six-Legged Bug with B/W Striped Legs

Saw this bug on a hibiscus plant in late August in mid-western Maryland. The body was kind of bulbous and thorny. He liked having his picture taken. Can you identify him?

Hi
This bug has caused damage to my zucchini year after year, thinking it was a ladybug I was to late in treating it--This year I've spotted a few already, Can I get rid of this bug without a heavy pesticide, Thuricide is only good for moth type worms ?

Tiny orange bug (American spider beetle)

What the heck is this????

What the heck is this????

I keep finding these tiny dark orange bugs in my daughters bed and only my daughters bed. I don't think they are bed bugs. At first I thought they were spiders but they are not.
The are very small, the body a little bigger than a pencil tip.
The body is a hard shiney shell.

Any ideas?

Orange and black gila monster like (Lady beetle larva)

by William Gamble
(Eliabethtown, PA )

back

A number of these insects congregated on the brickwork in an area on my house. Black with orange stripes that ran the length of the body and a few yellow dots. The body seemed to have spikes on it and the 6legs are solid black. I live in south central PA. One had it tail against wall and was bobbing up and down another seemed to be either in a web or spinning it I was unable to tell.

Doug says Not sure you can see this well enough Moni - but I'm putting it through 'cuz I think you've already done it before ??

Looks like a bumble bee, but longer and skinnier with a fan shaped black tail and long black antenni. I found it browsing on a butterfly bush and then it moved over to a rose campion plant.

orange pods (Lady Beetle Pupa)

by Laurel
(San Diego CA)

There are these orange podlike things that have attached themselves to the outside of my garden containers (half wine barrels). I hope they are some sort of pre-ladybug beings. Here is a picture.

Orange and long legs ( Milkweed assassin bug)

by Daria Ratliff
(Katy, TX)

This insect has been on our lime tree for 3 months and we sprayed some insect killer bought in a local store for general insects. We had some results for a little while but they're slowly coming back. You can see the insect in the picture very well. Also, the leaves have black spots that look horrible. I hope this insect is a good one and we don't need to exterminate it. Thanks a lot!
