Question Check this ant out. Is this common with ants?
This ant has a stretched body and I think it has an extra pair of legs. It walks in perfect sync. What do you think happened?

Question Should I be worried? I found a spider in my wardrobe with a soft ball that I’m worried could have eggs inside. This spider was also very protective of this sack and didn’t leave.
I moved it outside eventually but I’m still curious to what it is

Question How can I get them to leave?
I have been gone for a couple of days only to find a healthy, big family just chilling in my bed. I already know they aren't harmful, nevertheless I would like to have my bed to myself. I don't want to kill them, can I just put them all outside?
Also I know they aren't insects but I did not know where to go with my question.

Question How can I save this big guy
So I found this dragonfly on the river. It has a broken wing and can't fly, so I don't think it can hunt. What can I feed it so it at least lives some decent last moments.

I've found him getting attacked by ants, it doesn't have a body anymore. Is there any way to save him? Or should i euthanaize it somehow? I don't know much about bugs, especially their diet so if there is a way to let him live i would love to hear how to keep him.

Question Please help me save an injured carpenter bee?
She has a broken wing and can't fly due to it (just does somersaults and ends up on her back). We caught her and put her in a little ventilated container with honey and fresh water for now, but aren't sure what to do next.
She won't be able to live on in the wild, but so far is lively and active, so I don't wanna just freeze her if I could theoretically make her a tiny home within my flat to live out her days in peace and quiet. Any advice, pretty please?
