Sorry, but this thread reminded me of the anti-evolution book "Atlas of creation" It had some rather humorous insect pictures in it.
Can anyone identify this insect?

Atlas Mayfly according to the image name.

Yes, and image search is cheating and something only I would stoop to
The author of the book was a loony creationist that i am a little jealous of, Well, not now. But he was an odd duck. Do you want to see one that was in his book that @Dan From Smithville will not be able to identify?

Sure

I didn't need to go to image search, when I clicked on it I saw the file name. You should have changed that, rookie error.

I think I've seen it before... does it have some kind of fungus infection? Infection is probably the wrong word.

No, it is another fishing lure. This was also in the creationists book. He "found" an ancient spider that had supposedly had not evolved for many millions of years. There is only one problem. This is another fishing lure. This was a creative one by the maker. Usually he makes very realistic reproductions. This one was from his head. If you look very carefully you will see the hootk.
Supposedly if you look even more carefully, I can't see it, you will see this:

I can see part of the hook if I blow it up a lot

I can see it now too. Some spiders build a web that they carry around and use it to snag insects. That is what you see there. If you look at the backend of the "spider" you can also see where the hook appears to be.
This is the source of those photos, It was written by the maker of those incredible lures:
Fly Fishing lures published in Atlas of Creation as living specimens
This one was in the creationist's book too. He just took the pictures, he never accredited the author. I did not post it because it is the most obvious of the lot:
You can also see how the creationist used the photos in his book.

From the creationist's book:
Ooh, and an edit to add a link to the fly builder's article:

It would hold me then. I might be a smidge more than your 90 kg.
I don't know what that is, but it don't look right.
Looks like something from that old movie Angry Red Planet. I have no idea what that is supposed to be.Yes, and image search is cheating and something only I would stoop to
I thought that was hilarious when that book came out with all the stolen images of fishing lures and what not.
On the other hand, that wacko had good taste in women.

The artist, fly tyer, that made that made it up out of his head. For once he was not trying for reality. But the Turkish creationist still matched it up to a fossil to "prove" that evolution did not work.

I was going to make a joke about the women but finding out that the surgery they underwent was not their choice changed my mind:
Here is why Turkish televangelist wants all his ‘kittens’ to look the same - Türkiye News
I didn't know about that, but I don't really care about him other than he sparks the ignorant into believing false claims. He should get a long sentence just for that.
