There was about 400 pages of beetle pictures on bug guide.net... Anyone know what this is?

Never mind, did some harder searching and it's a DeKays brown snake :)

Found in Eastern US, about six or seven inches long. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! I will definitely look into it.

I'm not sure if there is already a thread like this one, but I'm curious about uncommon jobs that one can do as an entomologist. For example, would it be possible to become certified as an entomologist or biologist and visit public places like schools and talk about an animal and/or its...

European starlings and finches are huge invasive species here in the US. They destroy bluebird nests, and they are legal to kill (though I don't kill them myself). I think they are both beautiful birds, though, especially the bright spots on starlings. All of these birds are so gorgeous! I...

Little white things crawling around, if they are mites how would I go about clearing them out? Picture will be up in a moment. Thank you!

Found two of these in a pile of fire wood, I thought they might be blister beetles but the thorax has a strange shape. Thanks!

Thank you!

Hello! This winter has been very mild for where I am and I have been seeing a lot of spiders. This big (probably 3 cm or so) guy/gal was on my doorstep, and its orange color caught my eye. It looks like a wolf spider to me but it could be something else (I need to study more). Photo was taken...

(sorry, the pictures are probably really blurry) In the summer I like scouring my pond for hemipterids. I have found multiple toe biter naiads and this water scorpion in the genus ranatra- I have also found a monarch butterfly with a wing that was deformed in the crysallis- And, on a...

Wow! I guess Asher is now Ashley. Thanks so much!

Sorry, as I said, new to sexing. It's a Tliltocatl albopilosum, and the entire molted abdomen is about 3 cm long and the shown part is about 2 cm wide.

I know, terrible quality and I ripped the molt. First sexing :) Is this decipherable?

Hello, all! Recently I put a piece of bark that I had sterilized in the freezer into one of my hissing cockroach tanks. I checked on them today and noticed new tunnels that had been burrowed into the bark. A bunch of grainy stuff, probably poop or chewed material, fell out. I also saw one tiny...

Moving it around a lot might have stressed him/her, but the setup looks good. A bare spot just means they've been flicking hairs (probably just onto the ground) and is not unnatural. I also have a B albo and he is always in that position, so no worries. I'd say just let your T settle in for a...

Thanks, I've always been interested in macro photography but the only camera I have is my phone :)

Outstanding! What lens do you use?

Thank you so much for answering my questions :) I'll stop now. Thanks again!
