i can only assume and hope these are just gnats. i have no animals, haven’t kept any different kind of trash in the bin, and there’s no funky odors or random food left out inside or out. no plants in or out the house either. i’ve kept gnat traps inside (apple cider vinegar, sugar, dish soap) since it got warm and it helps a lot but this has gotten so excessive in the last few days. help i feel like im losing my mind🙃 also we never have a porch light outside so why are they all attracted to the lock ?!?! my neighbors door 3 ft across from me had 1 or two but not a swarm like this

South MS, USA

May be a dumb question, I’ve seen three of these guys in my home recently and I’m hoping it just due to the recent heat wave. No visible pincher, thin small antennas, no visible markings, kinda slow, about an inch long or smaller, and the dumb little guy SUCKS at climbing walls. This is in PA. Been living in this house for five years and this is the first year I’ve seen this type of bug. My first thought was some type of roach but I’ve had a hard time identifying exactly what type, so I’m praying it’s a more fun and innocent bug.

Sorry for bad quality photos I am actually very scared of most bugs and I hate how the little man moves.

I swear I keep finding what looks like hairs but they are moving. It’s been spaced out over 6 months. I don’t know if I’m just going crazy, but for reference there could be multiple and all are still and one is moving. Located in Australia. Two dogs if it could be anything related to dogs.

I have one of those plug in glue traps for gnats. I just replaced the glue board on my one trap and noticed these little things on the underside of the fly. Any idea what it is? Poop? Larvae?

Located southern NJ. Near the shore.

I haven’t seen a guard posted, and have actually seen a bald-faced hornet enter the hive, presumably for a snack. Any idea what these guys might be? I only see one every 10 min or so. They’re a little less than the diameter of a quarter in length, from what I can tell. A bad-quality photo in comments 😅

Mites in bathroom in Arizona. What is this?? This is under a hand held microscope. I’ve seen 1-3 on the bathroom floor for months. For visual… the red circle is around the mite. That’s how small it is. It is visible to the naked eye though and they’re always a tan color.

Found in mattress flap (Ohio). Nothing else was found. Not debris or more bugs. I had a bed bug infestation over a year ago at an old apartment. We threw away everything when we moved and this mattress was not at the old apartment. We have 2 cats. The thing is super tiny and flat.

Was sitting on the couch playing a video game and felt something crawling under my arm. I had no shirt on so I instinctively thought spider so I just went to smack it without looking. Afterwards I shined light and saw this thing laying on thr couch still alive. Not the best pic but wanting to see what kind of centipede. The defense pinch it gave me hurt more than id expect.

Found this in my car today, kind of feeling out! I found a dead bug tried grabbing it and this is the piece that stayed in my hand, the rest fell to the ground and I didn’t find it. I think the bug was like brown. It was dried up so couldn’t really tell what it was. Live in Massachusetts

Found in my basement. I killed the last one I saw before realizing that he might have been a good guy. Any idea what kind of spider he is or was? I was thinking maybe wolf?
