ID Request Guys this weird bug keeps biting me pls help
Excuse the ugly wall, but what is this bug? They come back every summer and ive only ever seen them in my room. They are like tiny mosquitos, they make no sound when flying and leave no marks on me when bitten. It doesnt even itch its just annoying because there would be a bunch of them biting you the whole night. Please help so i can research how to best get rid of them!

ID Request What is this in my flowers?
I have a pica Bella coneflower in a pot and I pruned off a dying conehead and was pulling it apart and a few of these guys fell out. Initially thought caterpillar but appears to be some kind of larvae as it only has legs on the front half of its body.
iNaturalist/Seek was having trouble getting an ID so if anyone knows that would be sick.
Thanks!!

ID Request What is this bug
I am sorry these photos are so awful this bug is so small and moved so quickly. I felt a very bad stinging sensation on my hand only to see this. I caught it with a kleenex to get a few photos in case I had a reaction. But sadly they arent the greatest. I live in IL if that helps. It looked like a tiny ant mixed with a wasp. All black and its abdomen was pointed downwards like a wasps would. That is my thumb nail at the top corner which gives a bit of size reference.

ID Request Big moth in my wheel well, central Iowa
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
See video. Saw this guy in my wheel well on my lunch break. I actually drove home for lunch and back to work and he managed to stay in there with no damage probably cause the wheel isn’t touching him. I’m home for the day and he was still there when I parked in front of my house. There’ve been these little worms in half formed cocoons hanging from the sycamore trees on the street I live on, so I’m wondering if he’s one of those and just decided to set up his cocoon under my car for whatever reason. He looks like he just got out of it, as he’s been stationary all day and his abdomen is really fat, which means he’s still getting the fluid into his wings, right?

ID Request What is this little guy?
I was randomly sitting on the couch and found this bug sitting on the side, just staring at me. What is this? I can’t find anything on the Internet to properly describe it.
He will be moved outside so far he’s in a cup with some plastic holes so he can breathe.
Many thanks!
Edit: bug is about 1 cm no more has orange on the side. Antennas.
6 legs,
Appears also to have wings, but likes to crawl.
Location is Quebec.

ID Request Roach ID
Hey All. Long Island, NY.
Bought new house 4 months ago. Found one of these alive in the corner of the detached garage by some rotted wood and then a dead one in my unfinished basement. Is this a vermin creepy crawly species I should be worried about or a wood roach that thrive on brush and rotting wood????

ID Request What’s this bug on my lemon basil?
Located in southwest Ohio. Please don’t let it be lantern fly nymphs. I found like 5-6 of them. They’re super tiny, like less than 1/4 in, maybe 6-7 mm? They did not like being disturbed and ran when I shook the plant.

Bought plant in Wisconsin, USA but there’s a chance the plant store bought plant from somewhere else. Fella was probably about 1 inch or 2.5 cm if that helps?
