In May, we made repairs, moved, everything was fine and suddenly in the sofa under the bedclothes we found small beetles, 1 mm in length, at first we thought that these were caterpillars, there were 20-30 pieces of them, they were all handed over, they began to look in the nursery there, too.
They called the disinfection service, they came sprayed and everything seemed to be fine, but then 1000 and 1000 corpses began to appear, mostly next to the baseboards (plastic), i.e. a week passed and next to the baseboard they saw a flat path as if sand, and after looking closely they recognized their beetles, i.e. chemistry affected them, but there were a lot of them, 2 weeks passed after disinfection, and the corpses are vacuumed every day, some survivors were found again (but only a few).
One was caught and examined with a magnifying glass, which looks like an ant, only 1 mm or less.
Tell me who it is, what would more accurately mean with whom we are dealing.

I shouldn't have created this topic. Already there, nearby: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=339580
Yes, and the photo should be better.
So far, only one thing comes to mind: Pharaoh's Ant IMHO.

I want to find out from enlightened people what kind of insects they are. Both flew into my apartment (not at the same time) in Moscow. I was resting quietly at home and suddenly a lump flies in through the window. I jumped out of bed abruptly and saw this beetle on the floor ,then took a matchbox, covered it and took it to the balcony, then took a picture and let it go. The encounter with the second monster was more unexpected. In the morning I woke up and heard a rustle next to the bed, leaning over in horror was stunned: hornet! I jump up abruptly .I rush to the kitchen, grab a box and follow the same principle.

1) Golden bronze finish
2) Some kind of Horntail

This miracle was met in Kamyshin (Volgograd region) in May. Well, healthy. And it wasn't clear if they were biting.

Bee-carpenter

And it happened today. I opened a pack of salalas (such plants) and found this in them. I understand that the slug, only healthy some, not local. Salal came from Costa Rica ,so the guest is from the same place. If it doesn't even extend to its full length, it will still be longer than a matchbox. Just in case, I didn't throw it away.

I don't know a slug, and it's not an insect.
From myself.
There was no need to create a topic when there have long been two where people ask similar questions:

They started appearing in the apartment about half a year ago.
Over time, it became a lot. I can't find the source.
Tell me those please what kind of animal

Vo, great pictures of butterflies (Psychodidae) /everyone would shoot like that!/, these are such long-whiskered diptera. By themselves, they are completely harmless, but they indicate that somewhere in the apartment it is very damp and decomposing organic matter has accumulated, in which larvae develop (m. b. in the kitchen, in the bathroom or in the toilet with a sewer system), or somewhere something seeps and gets wet under the floor, from the damp and dirty basement for ventilation, etc.).
