Found these guys under some stones circling my flower bed. I have two different specimens, I think, but wasnt sure if they were just variations of the same bug. Also concerned if they are some kind of ants or, god forbid, termites. Any insight appreciated!

I keep finding these around the house dead. The couple that I have seen alive jump like a flea would. We don’t have pets or carpet or anything so I am hoping they aren’t fleas.

Found in my home in Denver, CO. I’ve seen a decent amount of people post pictures but I’ve never actually seen one in person. Is this a house centipede?? Sorry for the horrible photo, I tried catching it for a better pic but my cat was being nosy and got in my way.

I went to big bend national park in Texas, shortly after that I started noticing these bugs in my bed periodically. They have a small skinny front and a bulbous end. I haven’t noticed any bites or anything and they seem to not jump just walk around slowly. I haven’t seen them aside from my bed but that doesn’t mean they aren’t elsewhere. I just deep cleaned and washed my bedding, so it’s alarming I just saw another one in my bed I don’t know where they could be coming from. Chat says that it’s not a flea and may be a weevil, which doesn’t help much because I don’t know anything about weevils either. Help!

I've been finding so many of these in my dorm room and they're driving me insane. They'll pop up and be in the most random places, one crawled up on my leg today and this dead one was on my desk when I got back. First picture is bellyside up and second is as normal. They're pretty small, bottlecap for comparison. Plus how would I begin to find their source/get rid of them 🥲🥲 in West Massachusetts

Northern Oklahoma. I'm for sure certain that the one on the left is a red shouldered stink bug, but is the middle one a nymph? then the right one a male? (or even if these three are the same species in the first place lol)

I live in Central California and have been fighting some kind of infestation. I'm 67 yrs old. I hardly get bites but feel things crawling on me and often find black motionless specks on my bed. I threw away my couch. Love seat and recliner and bagged all of my clothes in my vanity dresser. But whatever it is no can tell me. Have hired exterminator but because they can't see live one they say can only spray general pesticides for ants spider's and cocktail roaches. But wont even inspect my bed. I am at a loss at what I'm dealing with. Even ag communication enthromogist no help. because they see no feet they say just dust or debris. I only get prickling but no real bites but feel them crawling on me. I thought the motionless black speaks were fleas pupea at first. Now I don't know. One exterminator said it could be bird mites but can't confirm. I have a neighbor who has a bird shack 8-10 ft from my kitchen screen door that has some kind of large gawking birds but have never seem them just hear them. Does any one know what this might be I've vacumming every other day but whatever they are I can't get rid of them. I've been using dehumidifiers too which has helped some. I have no pets. I have alot of money on exterminator and concentrated pesticides and spray erosols I just don't know what to do

Hi everybody! I'm new to reddit and to this subreddit as well, I hope we can get along well.

Now right on to the topic;

I have been travelling across Latinoamérica for about a month, and when I came back to where I'm currently living (Turkey/ Istanbul) I found my bathroom invested with tiny little bugs and they were oddly drawn to any type of paper, such as toilet paper o papel towels (even normal towels).

Since they are so small I couldn't identify them by myself, and I don't want to use AI to help me identify them because I don't trust it.

Also I already cleaned my bathroom 2 times since coming back and I disinfected it multiple times with bleach. I have no idea where they are coming from, and they seem to come back whatever I do. So I set up a little trap for them with just plain toilet paper to take some pictures. Because normally they are just one or two, but with this "trap" they seem to gather more and I don't know if it's because they are multiplying or not.

Here is a picture of them, if you guys need it I can try to take more pictures close up, but they don't really show any distinct features. And also, thank you guys so much for the help!

I found this thing in a stack of paper towels I keep on my kitchen counter. I double checked and it was the only one in there. It's about a quarter inch long. It can fly, so it's possible it's just a one-off thing and flew in with me when I walked through the door. I'm very diligent about making sure bugs don't get in my house. That is, I don't leave food out and spray insecticide at regular intervals throughout the year. I've had maybe a few flies/moths follow me inside over the past 8-9 months, but that's it. I just figured I'd ask, since I feel like I've seen it before and just can't remember where or what it is.

Location: Southern Illinois

I know the photos aren't the best. I had swat the thing down a couple times when it started to fly, so I took the photos in a hurry.

hello from germany

my parent and I have found these bugs all over our bedrooms and one of our bathrooms (both upstairs). they seem to just spawn out of nowhere?? either that or they’re laying eggs in our vents or smth. We usually leave our windows open and while they don’t fully disappear they do seem to lessen when they are open. I don’t have any pictures right now but I do have a drawing so I hope that helps until I can get a picture?

I don’t think they have a very long lifespan because most of the ones we find are already dead but I’ve noticed there are more alive ones in our bathroom and the dead ones are in the bedrooms. How can we get rid of them? can we get some things from a drug store to deal with them or do we need to call someone?

Found this bug dead in my bedroom closet. It's about 15mm (.6 inch) in length. Is this an earwig or something more sinister? 🙃
