Look at black vine weevils.

Spotting commented on by Heather R Maharashtra, India7 years ago

Yes, moths also visit puddles.

Unknown spotting commented on by Heather R Florida, USA7 years ago

Definitely a millipede, probably in the Narceus genus based on the location.

Stink bug eggs commented on by Heather R Michigan, USA7 years ago

They may be stink bug eggs. Newly-laid brown marmorated stink bug eggs are blue-green.

Click Beetle commented on by Heather R Pennsylvania, USA7 years ago

Family Elateridae (click beetles)

Unknown spotting commented on by Heather R New York, USA7 years ago

It's definitely a wolf spider (Family Lycosidae). Ventral (belly) pics, eye pics and size would probably help narrow it down.

Ground Beetle commented on by Heather R Pennsylvania, USA7 years ago

In this case, an i.d. down to species cannot be confirmed with just the one photo. There are at least 2 species that are black with orange legs and possess very wide pronotums with flattened pronotal bases.

A robber fly, but I cannot tell you the species.

Carolina wolf spider commented on by Heather R Hohenwald, Tennessee, USA7 years ago

Ohmygosh I almost spit out soda. Your descriptions were too funny! Awesome pics, by the way.

Spider Wasp commented on by Heather R Texas, USA7 years ago

RE: my ID suggestion -
there is also a subspecies (A. mellipes ssp. mellipes),
so it could be this one instead.
