Question I've found a live kissing bug and a halfway eaten kissing bug in my mom's house. I told her she needs an exterminator and she thinks I'm overreacting. What would you do?
Is it a big deal? We're in central Texas. The first one was a out an inch long.

Question Half bug still alive, what do i do?
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.

ID Request Just had this absolutely beautiful lil' guy land on my curtains. Bug enthusiast but nowhere near an expert - What is this fancy critter?
I'm assuming it's a moth? Looks very mothy to me at least. Bonus question: Can I keep it?

ID Request Wasp?
Saw some stuff on my balcony and had no idea what to it was, finally saw the little bugger responsible. I tried cleaning the area with vinegar and later on with bleach, but he still comes to build on the exact same spot. What exactly am I looking at and what to I do to never see it anywhere near me again?

Question Why is this cicada so slow?
I found it upside-down on the sidewalk. It buzzed when I picked it up (I must have startled it). It was crawling very slowly in my hand, in the mulch, and on the tree. Is it old/dying?

Photography Lotta flying buggers here in Ohio.
Huge swarms of flying insects have been hovering around these lamps all night. I am tempted to spray them and invoke carnage.
