ID Request Is this a rare or never-before-seen pattern on an asian lady beetle???? It has irregular lines and splotches of black in its patterns, rather than the typical symmetrical spots! (Video in comments)
I've never seen this before and couldnt find anything similar on Google! At first I thought it was just the rain droplets on its back making the patterns look warped, but no those are the actual patterns it has! Sorry I couldn't keep the camera still with how much I had to zoom in. I'll put some still pictures in the comments (would've put the pics in the post itself but then i wouldn't have been able to include the video). Is this rare??? Regardless, its absolutely beautiful!!!
You'd think that in a species that has a LARGE variety of patterns (all of which consisting of symmetrical spots, splotches, or no patterns) that if there had been one species found that has irregular _lines_ and splotches, that would be pretty easy to find as online. Like if this has been seen before, you'd think it would have gone viral for being so unique, and yet I cant find anything similar anywhere online. Like imagine someone found a rosy maple moth with spots instead of lines, that'd likely go viral and you could easily search "rosy maple moth with spots" and immediately get results (not a perfect analogy but hopefully u get my point).

ID Request What kind of caterpillar is this?
Found this guy on my front porch, what caterpillar is it and what will it turn into? Hes pretty big compared to other caterpillars i’ve seen. Fyi this is in Australia so it most likely won’t be an american species. <3

ID Request Met this devilish looking fella. México
Can't find anything like it on the internet. Fell off and landed next to me. Didn't move for a while, then I had to yank him out when it slowly started to move its legs and those three yellow thingies started to come out of its back (3rd photo).

ID Request Termite or Ant? Ontario, Canada
I was moving a pothos plant and the bamboo rod that held it up snapped and disintegrated into dust. I found two of these on the window near the plant twenty minutes later. A winged insect, really tiny (like the head was smaller than a pin head, the whole thing was maybe a centimetre long). What do you think? Termite? Carpenter ant? (Sorry for the horribly blurry pictures!)

ID Request ~1/2" Roach (?) dead on windowsill in Central Maine
Found this Corpse on my windowsill inside. My guess is a Spotted Mediterranean Roach, but double checking. I squashed a fella earlier today that looked to be maybe a nymph version? Light brown & roach-like with some spots on its body. No double line that designates the German so I'm hoping it's nothing too frustrating, but thought I'd check to make sure.
