Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Hello, I really need help identifying insects and how to get rid of them, of course
We moved into a new apartment, and they run all over the kitchen and food
I will be very grateful for your help

What do you mean, they bred? Do you have aphid colonies in your house?

Aphids have not met)). There are no flowers or plants in the house. I understand that they spent the winter, and then began to climb out into the house into the light, as it got warmer.

However, after the street became more than 10 degrees and vegetation appeared, the golden eyes disappeared from the house.

They, yes, found out) Thank you so much!

Please help me identify them and get rid of them!

I noticed their appearance just yesterday, today there is already a whole colony on the balcony. They crawl everywhere, even seem to drag something. Very small, less than mm, movement on the skin is not felt at all, even between the fingers do not crush, only catch with water. The color is not only dark, small individuals are white, even smaller and generally almost invisible.
The most interesting thing is that yesterday I was washing the balcony and they didn't even meet me, and today here's one for you. It's a shame that yesterday I just dragged boxes with various things to the balcony (repairs are planned), I already saw them running around the boxes. Now we'll have to go through all the boxes before entering the apartment.
I'm afraid that they will get into the house (actually, it's not a tricky thing, there are a lot of holes). And in general, I ask you to help identify them. I don't even know who attacked my abode.

You need at least some macro, otherwise it is problematic to determine approximately. Perhaps it was my imagination, but I saw two types of objects: one with a white rounded body, the other with a gray elongated one. Probably some acariform mites.

Thanks for the answer! Making a macro is extremely problematic: I won't say that the camera on the phone is bad, but it can't catch them - they are too small and constantly move. Caught one with scotch tape, the quality leaves much to be desired. The second one was still photographed. It is pointless to catch whites at all - they are very small (in my opinion, this is the initial stage) and absolutely white.

Yesterday I sprayed the balcony with dichlorvos - the result is partial: all that was in sight died, they became less, but it is obvious that they continue to live there.
One friend said that it looks like aphids, but the problem is that there are no flowers on the balcony, and there are no similar beetles on the windowsill in the room on seedlings.

With a magnifying glass and duct tape, I was able to take another picture. I can't say that it got better, but still

constantly moving..... rested,

If they're dead, they don't move anymore
Your photo shows ticks. Probably birds have settled somewhere near the balcony, so ticks are crawling from them.

Past respites - new ones have crept in)) And there is no point in removing dead ones - they are like black or white grains of sand - you can't make out anything at all.
Thank you for confirming my concerns. I also bet on a bird tick. The situation is as follows: pigeons live under the balcony, and they have been nesting there for several decades, but this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.
So far, I have filled all the cracks with dichlorvos, and then covered them with a sealant. I hope this will stop their invasion.
There are several questions:
1) What harm can such ticks do to humans? And can they?
2) What could have caused this wave of nomadic ticks? Pigeons live there for a huge number of years, I think during this time they have already been infected, what is the reason for ticks to run around the balcony when the food is in another place?
3) Theoretically, how do they reproduce?
Thank you in advance for your answers to the unenlightened me.

now I'll try to transfer it. Thank you very much!

Another photo of my pet ticks.
Please advise us what is the best way to poison them. I don't even know how to deal with them effectively.

concentrate of an emulsion or suspension based on lambda-cyhalothrin. prepare a working solution and spray all areas where ticks walk. then do not wipe the processed places of the month 3.

1. Ticks carry a number of infectious diseases. Type "pigeons ticks infection" in the search engine.
2. "Waves", or sharp increases in numbers - a common phenomenon in insects. I will assume that ticks can also have this. The reasons are the weakening of restraining factors that naturally limit the number of species.
3. They breed on their host animals. In your case, it appears to be pigeons. Thus, if you get rid of pigeons, ticks will disappear on their own.

Good afternoon. Can you tell me who it is? We rented a summer cottage. The house was built last year, log. I've already found six of them. I hear a scraping sound in the wall. Then I find them. Five in one place in the corner under the ceiling or on the curtain, and one on the stairs. I'm very afraid of them and insects in general. How can you fight?

The horntail is an insect of the order hymenoptera, family Siricidae. Larvae develop in wood.

How do I attach a photo?

Help!
Which day was strained by crawling motes of dust. I thought it was a glitch! In bed, taking pictures from the body. Ochcheeeen microscopic, it is not even clearly visible, only the feeling of the hairs on the body, and only take immediately crushed, so small. Today I was not too lazy to take a picture on supermacro! Shock! This thing even has eyes... What's it? I reviewed all the ticks and didn't find anything similar, it's small for bedbugs. The room is adjacent to the balcony, where bats live under the cornice, and pigeons live on top. it appeared about three days ago. how they switched to light blankets was not observed before.
I changed everything, vacuumed the mattress and even turned it upside down... what else can you anoint or popshik with?

There are ticks. Gamazovye.

Most likely, they come from there.

And besides, to expel the bats, they are in the file outside the balcony?! Ahhh...... where to run

Thanks! And how can you fight them? Or is it already useless?

Please tell me what kind of midge and how to deal with it? They manage to bite everything during the night. Apparently they're crawling through the mosquito net. They are almost transparent and fly fast.

If I'm not mistaken, these are mosquitoes (Phlebotominae).

Help!!! Here is such a bull wound up in my garden. We live in the Perm Region. It sits on everything: flowers, vegetables, even currants. Whether it eats or not is not yet clear, but even the very fact of the appearance of an unknown insect on your favorite beds is annoying!

this "byaka" is the main savior of your garden, it is the larva of a ladybug before pupation. both larvae and adult beetles feed on aphids

Oh, thank you! Now we will go and cherish our "byakashek"))) Aphids this year really nemeryano!

What is this bug? About a millimeter in size, there are even smaller ones, crawling out of the bathroom vent, biting. Thank you in advance.

Appeared since the beginning of May. There are both brown and black ones. They only crawl out at night. Help me determine it.

It is very hard to see, but the outline resembles a soft-shell (Cantharidae).

Ticks may be the same as these.

Cantharidae? It doesn't look like it. If it reminds you of anyone, it's Tenebrio molitor.

Indeed, they are very similar. And I thought they were bedbugs, too. Tell me, these ticks bit me, but they did not stick, but like mosquitoes or bedbugs, I shook them off easily, but there were itchy blisters on my skin, could they infect me with anything? I am a nursing mother and this question scares me very much.

They should not be sucked in.
Perhaps you have birds ' nests on the roof, so they crawl from there through the ventilation to you.
Bird ticks can infect different infections. Use the search engine for "pigeons, ticks, infection". If you've already been bitten, you probably could have infected it.

Hello! It was found in the car after spending the night (Astrakhan region). For the sake of curiosity, who is it? he's a funny guy.

Goldeneye larva.

Dear Entomology experts,
For the second year in a row, small holes (outside) with a diameter of 3-5 mm and a depth of 50-90 mm appear in a house made of rounded logs. I cover them with a sealant, having previously sprinkled Anti-Beetle there.
This year there are more of them and we have to make daily rounds around the house. All the holes are concentrated on one side that is most exposed to solar radiation and precipitation, the other sides are untouched.
Recently managed to catch this insect, trying to chew through the next move. What is it and how to deal with it? I read that there is a possibility that they benefit (some similar individuals in appearance) by going deeper into the wood infecting some larvae and then something happens to them that I need. Hard to believe)))
If anyone knows, tell me what it is, and then I'll look for ways to fight.

Hello, I found a female rhinoceros beetle in a city near Moscow. I used to think that such people don't live here, and I've never met such people.
I brought it home and put it in a pot with a flower for a while. Then I look - no, and you can hear scratching from the pot. It seems to be buried in the ground, is this normal for beetles? Usually larvae live in the ground, but why should beetles go there?
He (she) will get out of there herself, or will you have to shake out the ground with the flower and get it out? Will it feed on the flower's roots?

Rhinoceros beetles are quite common here, but not mass-produced. During daylight hours, they live in the substrate in which they are buried. Most likely, rhinoceros beetles do not eat anything at all.
