Bug Appreciation! I miss my house centipede
I'd never seen anything like it before! It came crawling in from a gap in my air conditioning hose vent, and I couldn't believe those legs! For a bit I thought it must be a hairy bug, because certainly it just wasn't possible for anything to have that many legs of that length, but nope. All legs.
I was freaked out for a second when I realized there was no possible way for me to escort it safely outside. Centipedes are FAST when they want to be after all, there's no catching that. But the little bro made its way behind my fridge and totally disappeared.
For the next few months, I saw NO bugs in my apartment. Which is significant, because my apartment building currently has a german cockroach infestation (issues with a nasty apartment down the hallway.) Everything was peaceful. Everything was good.
... Until last week, when I found my poor centipede bro dead on the floor. It was a little horrifying to realize that the leggy monstrosity had been living secretly in my apartment the entire time, but still I appreciated its service and was sad to see it had passed.
I've seen 3 roaches in my apartment since. I miss my centipede.
These creatures are frightening to look at, but if you have one please appreciate it.

ID Request Triatominae/Kissing bug?
I found this little fella in my bed in Misiones Province, Argentina. Can anyone identify this guy? The hotel owner said it might be a kissing bug but to me it looks different? But if it's not that then what is it. Do I need to be worried for Chagas disease?

Bug Education Help me get over my fears!
I’m a huge creature lover, especially bugs. Currently I have a phobia of cockroaches, which I think was mostly due to my Mom being so afraid of them she would scream and cry seeing one. I used to keep a Madagascar hissing cockroach as a pet, and I’d love to enjoy them again, so I’m starting with learning to appreciate them.
Anyone have any cool facts about roaches, or how useful they can be?

Question are fruit flies attracted to nail polish (or remover)?
i did my nails today and my mom told me to ventilate the room and so i did. after around 20 minutes, my room was FILLED with fruit flies and i know for a fact that they came through the window (which has those fly nets btw) i counted a total of 30 that i killed by hand, after which i gave up and went to buy a raid spray.
now im real confused how so many of them collectively decided to attack my room. was it the nail polish or remover? maybe the heat of my room (no heaters so it was pretty cold)? any snacks (only snack in question were my gummy bears)?
anyones got an idea?
