Bug identification

last modified: 7 months ago

What type of bug is this? I live in Florida. I believe it was in a package I received. I opened the package and took the dress out and laid it on a table. It was wrapped in paper and when I picked up the dress, the bug was underneath between the paper and the table. Picts are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLmHfg2VKLvWTYS9kLckeg7yQAzLEl_m/view? and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MP7XQnGxL0JyBtb1c_WXmOPlg-p0eXiN/view?usp=drivesdkusp=drivesdk

I find those kinds of insects hard to identify. Much depends on whether it has one or two pairs of wings. Could be a fly (Diptera) of some kind if it has one pair of wings.

In this case, it is more important where the package was from, than where you are.

It looks like a fat, sassy, assassin bug to me. Can tell by the 'nose.' Wonder if that bug is a female, fat with eggs.

Neither picture is clear enough to determine what they are. Pretty sure that the top one is a fly of some sort but really haven't much of a clue with any certainty. Any chance of some better images?

Pretty sure a Carpenter ant queen.

Head and antennae of the hazjai insect images are unlike those of carpenter ants queens.

They bear some resemblance to the capenter ant winged males.
