Types of bumblebees

I'm trying to identify which types of bumblebees I have here. All of these pictures were taken this week in my yard in Green Bay, WI. I'm really wondering if the third picture is a rusty patched bumblebee. I do see a little brown between the wings. If necessary, I have a few more pics of that one.

Spiderlike thing, but I only see six legs...

This thing was very small, only about a centimeter across. I thought it was a spider, but I only see six legs. Spotted today in Green Bay, WI.

Re: Black Caterpillar ID


Nice to see an actual inquiry about an insect here.
Probably a moth larva, perhaps a Noctuid or Geometrid, assuming I spelled those correctly from memory. Typically, larva don't leave host plants-
(and it may not have been the maple), until they are ready to pupate, hence the dark color ...

Moths

These pictures were taken in Green Bay, WI.
