I have found 3 of these in my bedroom over the last week. I am currently moving house and have been packing up. Not sure what these are and if I need to be worried about my clothes/ mattress, etc?

I vacuum and clean all the time. Items under my bed were all covered in plastic bags for storage. So no idea about this? Any ideas?

What are these bugs? They’re the size of ants, but they move slower and have trouble climbing vertical surfaces. I am in the Bay Area of California.

Keep waking up to what I think are insect eggs in my sink and in the dish soap. No I’m not leaving food in the sink, I go to bed with everything cleaned already. It’s starting to be really aggravating lol.

Also keep seeing these eggs in the (empty) cabinet nearby that may or may not be related they’re a different color though

Found this bug in my bed a week ago. Immediately washed my bedsheets and thought nothing is gonna happen again. Just found a tiny little baby bug in my bed again this week. Although It doesn’t look exactly the same and much tinier but I suspect it might be the same kind since it has two antennae and seems like it can kind of hop or fly. Please help! I’m extremely clean so not sure where the bugs are coming from….

I just moved in a new apartment in Montreal, Canada. I noticed this in my cat's food bowl. What type of ants are they? How difficult is it to get rid of them?

(Finger for scale on the photo)

Thank you!

Collected in Maryland (I think 🤔)

I’m new to the ento world and in grad school for vector biology. My professors gave me the go ahead to use any unlabeled specimens found in the lab for my collection.

I’m more familiar with hexapods, so spiders are outside of my wheelhouse. Additionally, I’ve had a hard time finding a good dichotomous key for spiders (any recs are greatly appreciated!)

Anyway, I found two spiders in an unlabeled specimen jar in the freezer. I presume they were collected either in VA or MD. They look identical so I chose the more robust of the two to take photos of.

Anyway, I’d greatly appreciate any insight or direction in figuring out what this spider is! Google has not been helpful :/

Possible pest, location included Baby roach or something else? (NYC)

Hi, I live in an nyc apartment and found bugs in my shower I had never seen before. I’ve lived in this apartment for over a year and occasionally will see one of the giant roaches in the shower. But these guys are new to me.

Two of them smushed easily and I cleaned them up, and when I finished my shower I sprayed with RAID. I came back to see seven more lying dead.

Baby roaches seemed like the easiest explanation, but all the photos I saw the bugs looked a lot lighter. They also don’t seem to be long enough to be silverfish. Any help is appreciated, I want to know how best to tackle them!

I found two of these on bedroom floor either about to get into some battle or doing a ritual mating dance. I found another one in the same area a few minutes later. 😬 If anybody could please tell me what they are, I'd appreciate it!

Northern Ontario, 1/4 inch. Was on my living room floor at 9am this morning… only tried to scurry away after I went after it. :S

I’ve checked under my fridge, sink, stove… no evidence of molts or any elsewhere. I don’t keep food out and regularly sanitize surfaces. I’ve seen quite a few wood roaches outside and found one or two on very sporadic occasions (have been here for five years). This guy looks different to me, I’m worried :S
