Bug fedipeople,

Edit: pretty sure it's a conifer seed beetle. No need for id I guess unless you know different.
Please can someone help id this bug for me?

INaturalist says it's a Leptoglossus and that several species are of economic importance, and one species, L. chilensis, has been reported to bite humans.
I hope your Sunday is a peaceful one.

anybody able to identify these? hundreds of them in one of meats' houseplants. just the one, though. i can't tell if they're insects or arachnids at this size, and this is as good as my phone can do

edit: consensus seems to be aphids! further research suggests they may be root aphids. they do kinda look like soil mites, too, though… meats sprayed em with neem so if it's a problem it prob won't be for long

Was watering my very dry balcony plants when this little guy popped up out of the soil and started flailing about. not a clue what it is. it moves like a caterpillar, but its head is pointy...? anyone any idea if it's a good bug or a bad bug?

The mysterious insect eggs I found in my garden hatched! Very likely they are Giant leaf-footed bugs.

Anyone have an idea what laid these eggs on my native Mountain Mint? I've never seen anything like them.
