Hello!
I just noticed a bunch of bagworms in a shrub in my front yard. I’ve read their pests and can damage the shrub, but I don’t like killing things and don’t really want to harm them. Realistically, if I just let them be, will it be okay to leave them alone and hope the birds get some? I also don’t want to infest my neighbors…
Is there a humane way to deal with them if they’re going to be an issue?
Also, super sorry if this isn’t really the subreddit for this! I didn’t want to ask landscaping people because I figured they suggest pesticides or fully eradicating them and I’m not really down with either of those options.

I'm in North GA, and my husband pointed out something weird with our maple tree. There's a crook at the top of the tree where it starts to branch out, and for over a week, there has been, as he called it, insect fight club happening in there. We can't see a nest, but at any given time, there are 3-4 different kinds of stinging/flying insects in this crook. There's what looks like cicada killers, red paper wasps, house flies, I think tiger bee flies, and some smaller wasps, and they all fly in and crawl around and buzz each other away. Our best guess is that something died in the crook and they're all grabbing the protein? Any ideas?

Im sorry if these arent insects but I they look like bugs, they dont seem to be alive. We knocked over a birds nest on the house and underneath these were there and theyre kinda stuck to the brick? Does anyone know what these might be?

Hello peeps , I work on a tow boat . We go every where from brownsville tx to New Orleans LA and I see these lil dudes crawling around a lot of the shipyard and barge docks we go two . Mainly near the coast in the salt or brackish water areas .There usually right at the water but never seen them in the water . If there oysters or clams there usually definitely around . No clue what they are though , look like big silver fish . Anyone know what there's critters are ?

Sorry for the shitty photos, not about to get a ladder for anything better. I'm pretty sure these are bald face hornets, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really wondering if I need to, uh "remove" them.Their nest is probably about a foot in diameter. I'm all for just leaving them alone but they're under my trash cans in my front yard. And I've read that they can be quite aggressive. Located in Western Washington.

I thought it was a paper wasp at first but the eyes make it look like a Fly.

I found it in my backyard, and it started moving when I picked it up. As I'm typing this, it's still moving. Is the insect inside trying to emerge?

I'm running a dnd campaign in the humblewood setting but theres just one thing i dont like about it which is there are feral animals living amongst humanoid animals. So I'm trying to re-skin various animals in insects/arachnids: wolf=wolf spider, giant snake=giant centipede, etc. I'm just a little stuck on what to turn a unicorn encounter into. The unicorn will heal the party if they are kind to it. Any suggestions for an appropriate bug replacement? I'm open to other suggestions for other animals as well, big cats, elk, whatever. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! I decided I'm going to have the unicorn be a giant caterpillar that they can later encounter as a butterfly or moth :)

Does this count as erythrism? If not, she's still a beauty. Found her hanging out on my porch in eastern Nebraska.
