Dear colleagues, please help us identify the object in the photo. It was discovered on the conifers of the Crimean pine in Stavropol on December 30. The size of one individual is 1 mm. On conifers, most often this item is localized in pairs.

In the September magazine "Science and Life" they wrote about the American "invader" - the bug Leptoglossus occidentalis with a similar description of its clutch. See the attached photo of the magazine page. By the way, at the end of the article asked to report on the findings of this bug. So you can send a photo there, and they will either confirm or deny it .

This is not Leptoglossus occidentalis, its eggs are cylindrical brown, but here ellipsoid black. Most likely, these are the eggs of the Cinara pinea aphid. It seems that there was already an answer about aphids, but it's gone somewhere.

Midges live for several months. No flowers, no rotten food or vegetables. They fly out at night into the light, circle around the body and immediately fly away, so I try to catch them. I rarely see them, just one at a time. I didn't see any clusters. I found a few corpses on the sink. I suspect that they live in the upper sink drain. I don't know how to get them out of there and get them out. I filled the bottom drain with clog powder - it didn't help. In the upper right corner, the midge is fatter than the rest, white-gray in color with wings. Black midges are very small, resemble mosquitoes. Are they harmful to humans ? Can they bite?
