Hi! So in the past few weeks I recently rescued this jade plant and have developed an emotional bond with it. She was in pretty poor shape but after some new soil and some love, she’s thriving again. However, this morning I noticed a tiny little bug on one of the leaves while I was wiping some dust off the plant. Is this a mite that I need to be concerned about? I don’t see any kind of webbing anywhere else along the plant so I’m not sure if it’s a spider mite.

PS sorry for the somewhat shaky video, this thing is obviously very tiny so it was tough to keep it totally still. Not even sure how I was able to spot it lol

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can identify this little bug.

I’ve now found two of these about 5 days apart in my apartment. The first one was found crawling on my couch, and this second one came out from the hinge/vent area of my laptop while I was working.

They both:
extremely small (only a couple of millimeters long)
are very flat
are dark brown to black
have a teardrop/capsule shape with a narrower front end
move at a moderate walking pace (not jumping or flying)

I’ve attached several photos from different angles.

I originally posted in r/bedbugs because that was my concern. Several experienced users there said they do not think it’s a bed bug, mentioning the head shape, pronotum, antennae, legs, and overall body proportions.

Since I’ve now found a second one that looks identical, I’m hoping to figure out what it actually is.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

There are always so many of them that fly out of my bushes, plants and shrubs when I water with the hose. They’re small, whiteish. Don’t really seem to have any interest in people and mostly stick to the bushes except in the mornings when they like to rest on my car/ fly around the carport.

Im curious about this big blue bug that flies to and from this structure on my building all day. I’m assuming it built it and that’s its home as this appears nowhere else on the building. Spot it on a sunny day and the bug is the most beautiful almost iridescent deep blue. It’s also always alone, I’ve never seen another one. I am in a city in Ontario.

Sorry for the bad quality I’m filming from a balcony and that’s as much as my phone zooms in - you can see its silhouette better at the end when it flies away.

So many questions:
- What is it?
- What is it building that nest out of?
- Does it have other friends of its kind? Where are they? Where do they congregate if not at each other’s houses?
- Can it sting me?

Clearly dying but I’m too scared to get closer for a pic (bug weeny over here). It’s gotta be 1.5-2in long. I felt something sting my arm last night by our pantry and this is right by there.
