@ascendeddragonsage submitted: A couple of more moths coming in from Östergötland, Sweden.

First is a V-pug, a distinct small moth with green tones.

The other I'm less sure of but I think it's a bee moth.

Two cute lil friends! Love the green in the v-pug's wings. You may be right on the second one being a bee moth, or at least another closely related Pyralid.

@darth-moth submitted: Hello, I try not to be affraid of spiders, insects, bugs, etc. so I want to know what species is he from

And I am also curious of what thier is exact names

All photos were taken in [removed] ([removed], remove this please). And thank you.

Hi there! I'm glad you're trying not to be afraid of bugs! I can't promise exact species IDs since I'm not super familiar with the bugs in your location but I'll do my best.

I assume the first two photos are the same spider; looks like a ground spider in the genus Scotophaeus, most likely a mouse spider, Scotophaeus blackwalli.

The moth looks like a pyralid moth, Synaphe moldavica. The next beetle is a scarab beetle, probably in the genus Anisoplia. The beetle after that is a weevil, Pseudocleonus cinereus.

Dunno offhand on the next little moth, but the beetle on the flower in photo 7 is a yellow-legged thick-legged flower beetle, Oedemera flavipes. Yes, that's the real common name. Not sure why they needed to put "legged" in there twice. The two moths following that are geometer moths, but they're not distinct enough for me to say offhand which species they are. And finally the last beetle looks like a blister beetle, Mylabris crocata.

Thanks for sharing!
