When I was at my grandpa's garden today I was peeling apart squash vines looking for squash vine borer caterpillars. In the middle of one of these pumpkin vines I found this small brown beetle. In the images I posted the brown beetle is on the left and a small snail is on the right.

I found this insect in the hallway between the house and the garage. It may have came inside due to how cold it is getting outside.

I went into my backyard and I found this early tachinid fly on the flower of a white aster plant. This fly has red eyes, a black and hairy abdomen, and a brown colored thorax so I think it is an early tachinid fly.
