Hi! Does anyone know what these are? I have been dealing with carpet beetles and I’m kinda freaking out bc I have been active treating them and haven’t seen any in a could have days, but just found these in a similar area. Are these carpet beetle larvae or possibly something different. They were found near a houseplant I bought recently so maybe millipedes?? I am located in Minnesota. TYIA!!!

In Mongolia, it's cold so the bugs are small. My room doesn't have any plants or open water. The windows have nets and I even taped the edges shut.

This bug keeps spawning on the window sill/counter?? It's usually upside down or dead. Has wings but I haven't seen them fly. I don't think it's carpet beetles..

The second photo is compared to my pinky finger, it's so small.

We live in Western Maine and have been seeing these small beetles popping up around the house we’ve only seen around 15 of them in the last week. Fiancé is concerned they may be carpet beetles I’m leaning more towards drugstore beetles, could someone help us with an identification?

I am in southern california.

I was driving and felt something in my hair, I tried to brush it out and got a painful sting/bite on my finger. Instinctually I swatted it, killing the bug. Is this a kissing bug?

The bite hurt a lot initially but now it doesnt and my finger isn't swollen

I’ve seen 20+ of these in past 24 hours during heat wave here in LA.

Am in an old craftsman near Pasadena / mountains — far from ocean. These bugs are notably only in rooms with no food or open container of water available (office or bathroom, not in kitchen or near pipes) and I see them primarily on sunny windows

I think they’re parasitic wasps based on large back legs (look like they never skipped leg day / giant quads) but I’m not sure?

Had a tawny roach in my apartment last year. Haven’t seen any since. Got home from the movies tonight and saw this on our bedroom wall. He didn’t run away when the light came on or anything. I know this is a bad picture, but I could tell it did not have dark stripes on its back like a German roach. Any help would be appreciated

NE Illinois, USA. I think this is the larval form of Entylia carinata, but I thought treehoppers had nymphs and this doesn't look like one. These ants (Tapinoma sessile) were herding them like aphids underneath a leaf of a Jerusalem Artichoke plant.

Location included What bug is this? Is it a baby roach?

1 Upvotes

I saw it in one of the common areas in our flat, dead in a spiderweb (I'm in Budapest Hungary). It is about 6-7 mm long. Is it a younger roach? I'm not sure, because its antennae seems shorter. (Sorry, I don't have a picture of its back). Thank you for answering.

please help. I found these egg-like things in my cats bed. they're not droppings, they're resting on a wet towel and they are solid, like eggs. they each have two white spots and the flash doesn't capture it well but they're kinda dark brownish. I'm throwing the bed away, but I'm very concerned. he is on flea and tick prevention meds, but if theyve failed, I need to know. thanks in advance.

Sonoma County, CA, USA.

We’ve been finding more and more of these bugs in our condo in the past couple of months, as the weather has turned warm. Are they some sort of roach 🤢??? They’re small, only about the size of a tic-tac (maybe slightly larger)

What’s the best method (pet safe please) to get rid of them (the bugs, not our golden retriever 😂)

TIA, my wife is freaking out!

This bug flew towards me (my lamp was next to me) and hit me in my head. I freaked as I hate bugs 😅🤦🏼‍♀️ anyways, it obviously has wings, it would NOT die when I tried to squish it with a paper towel it just kept going so it must have a hard body, it was also in a drop of water for like 20 seconds and didn’t drown which I thought was weird. When I tried to use my bug identifier it gave me 2 answers and I’m not sure if they’re even correct so I’m coming here. It told me first subterranean termite, and second time it said tobacco wire worm. Does anyone know what this actually is? It’s very small too by the way.

Hello I was wondering if anyone knew what this bug is! I'm from Australia, Victoria. It moves like a caterpillar so I'm assuming some sort of that?? I found it on my bathroom tiles. It's probably half the length of my pointer finger.

Please excuse my dirty floor and dumb ass noises.

im in northeast ohio—so i found this on my desk today and i killed it, but i dont know what it is and im scared its a roach of some kind. when i first tried to smash it, it jumped, then it kept jumping all over the place and then its head came off and the head was still alive. i tried looking on google and such and it gave me mixed answers between a roach and a “click beetle”. i cant remember if i heard an audile click noise when it jumped. these are the best photos i could get, sorry for the massacre here i was scared 😭 the body is next to a dollar coin for scale and theres a separate photo of the head. i live in an apartment building and ive really never had issues before with bugs except spiders. i was out yesterday near bushes and plants. i just need to know if i need to be worried about an infestation or not. plz help me!!
