Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Necrocephalus, thank you so much for your answer! I pulled out the beetle, and when I examined it, I found a whole bunch of ticks on it! There were 20 of them. At first, I didn't notice them - they were all in a hard-to-reach place, in the cavity between the front and middle limbs(where the "shoulders" are attached to the main body).
I put on rubber gloves and a brush all took off and crushed, I hope he did not lose them in the flower while crawling.

These ticks are not dangerous to humans. Therefore, even if they spread out, they will simply die.

Necrocephalus, thank you for reassuring me. And at least the bug will live, otherwise the scene was like from a horror movie when I discovered them(I realized that these were not grains of sand, but spiders running around the beetle).

Most likely, rhinoceros beetles do not eat anything at all.

maybe they don't eat, BUT in my "terrik" he behaved like a bronze cat and was happy to get out on berries/fruits. the female lived until mid-autumn. Now they have flown, I will catch my son and see again

AGG, can you tell me what "they flew"means? My female, although she has elytra, has never tried to spread them, and in general, it feels like there are no wings themselves under them.

They don't grow right away?

"flew" means 100 years, i.e. each species has a certain time when it crawls/flies, and then, after mating, lays eggs and dies. wings are formed immediately during the formation of the beetle while still in the pupal stage, and a fully formed beetle comes out.
if your rhino is not trying to take off, then something is hindering it. in general, they are not such fans of flying as bronzki, because they do not have such a need for warheads. "where I was born, there I came in handy"

Here's the quality. Please help me determine.

What is the visual difference between Tenebrio molitor and Tenebrio obscurus?

hello! please help me figure out what kind of beetles they are. scoured the entire Internet, everything is not the same(

black / brown, with a hard shell, about 2-2. 5 cm long, 1-1. 5 cm wide. They fly, Fall from the street, through open windows. At the same time, they are sedentary, that is, they fly to the balcony or window and sit either on the floor (where they later die), or on the curtain. This year there are a little less of them, whereas last year there was a whole cemetery of these beetles on the balcony.
They appear for the third year in May-June-July. We live in St. Petersburg, and we don't seem to have heard any complaints from anyone else.

Does anyone know who it is?

https://rutube.ru/video/155b2a4d20dbd70632fca78701ffae00 here is a link to the video with this beetle

Hello. Here is such a contagion to us flies in the evenings in the light. Squeaks like a mosquito, doesn't bite. In the morning, their corpses are everywhere. Who are they and is there any way to deal with them?

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.

It is a burrowing wasp from the genus Pemphredon [Crabronidae].
Makes nests in ready-made holes in wood (it does not gnaw itself, but only slightly clears). Usually these are abandoned passages of some tree beetles or sawflies. Nests in the form of cells arranged one after the other. For larvae, it stores aphids - several dozen in each cell.
That is, the insect is useful for the garden, and it is not necessary to fight with it. But who makes holes in your logs is another question.

Hello. Help identify the insect and how to deal with it. Made repairs in the apartment, the last floor (Stalinka). After moving in, I started noticing these beetles in the kitchen, in the bathroom on the walls. They are very small, about 1 mm, and brown in color. I assume that they can only climb through the ventilation system. I couldn't zoom in better.

finally managed to take a picture of them. look, please, who is it? we live on the 9th floor of a 17-story building, we saw them flying from above today

Hello, dear entomologists!
Please tell me, which micro-bugs smell strongly? Do tiny red mites smell?

I live in the forest zone of the Central Federal District. I found animals on the windowsill, the netting is not a hindrance to them. Size ~0.5 mm, red/brown, body rounded/oval, clearly separated head does not seem to be visible, slow. How many legs I didn't make out exactly: 6 or 8. Blood - sucking creatures or not-I don't know (maybe just red, or maybe they become like this after lunch). I don't know about flying, I don't think you can see the wings. They are generally barely distinguishable by the eye, I find them by smell.
They choke easily and are very tender. The smell is exactly like that of bed beetles (nauseating, sweet and oily). Just one such micro-bug stinks as if the entire windowsill has been doused with something.
I know bedbugs well, and I also know what their nymphs look like in their earliest stages. It's definitely not them.

I searched the Internet, like they look like small red ticks (like birds) or their nymphs. But nowhere does anything say about the smell, and it is here defining.
Who could it be?

P.S. My " dog " nose also picks up this smell on the street in the summer. Sometimes "brazenly smells" right in the open window ))) I know how funny this sounds ))

I tried to take photos. What's in the circles is captured by a mobile phone in the eyepiece of a child's microscope. One instance is intact in a drop of water (where the double circle is the border of the drop)
The second flea-like specimen is just a squashed thing, sorry.
(I know fleas too, it's not them)

P.P.S.
There is a suspicion of these companions: Bourletiella hortensis
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/2370473...iella-hortensis

Or some other collembolus, like Sminthurides aquaticus, thousands of them...

But one question: do these creatures have an odorous secret, secreted at rest or when they die?

The photos show absolutely nothing, but it's almost certainly some kind of Dienerella. They regularly come across in apartments, in development they are associated with mold fungi. So look for a place where they can live with you. Yes, and what kind of city though?

Good afternoon. I managed to get a better photo. Is this Dienerella? From where they climb, so far and not found. This is the Volgograd region, Volzhsky city. I also found a couple of them on the couch. And so mostly in the bathroom a lot. Repairs were completed only a month ago. I don't even know where the mold might be or how to remove it.

These are some kind of ticks. I can't say anything about the smell.

Yes, this is Dienerella. One of... It's a pity that it wasn't, otherwise I wouldn't have given up on a dozen of these animals ) Well, then somewhere in the bathroom and it is worth looking, in those places where it is not ventilated.

Thank you very much. ))

What an unusual forum )) the other day at the dacha in pastels I found a bug that crawled and tickled -black, round, slightly larger than an ant. Crushed - blood. We examined everyone who was sleeping in the bed. It seems only mosquito bites. What if it was a tick? Was it pumped and fell off? Or what else could it be?

A bed bug?

Hello, dear experts!
I found this thing in the couch today. I can't tell if it's some kind of parasite, or if it's crawled in from the street. It was moving slowly. I caught it in a jar to take a picture of it. The image is clickable.

A bed bug?

Oh, that would be great. But do they happen to be one thing at a time? After that, we slept in this bed, no one and no bites like.
Mb is this a male tick? He-like quickly eat up. Do they also tolerate sores like females?

Leatherworm larva.

Thanks! Identified - half the job is done! I will now search for the rest and get rid of

Continuation of the story about smelly micro-bugs (beginning on page 101, from 03.07.2016 00: 21)

The creatures grew up and got a better look at them.

Tiny smelly beetles climb through the window (Central Federal District, house in the forest, 1st floor) in warm weather. They are not afraid of light and feel great on a sunny hot day. At first they move, but for some reason they quickly die on their own. Size from 0.3-0.5 mm to 1-1. 5 mm. Those that are larger (up to 1.5 mm), look drier and darker, the young growth is more "juicy" or something.
There are no wings. Legs 6, legs and antennae black. The body is reddish; the older ones have a black head and neck joint. They smell like bedbugs (a nasty sweet-buttery smell) - both at rest and when they die. They choke easily (babies are generally like dust motes, and also stink), smeared with red. I sometimes notice the same smell on the street (probably from their accumulations somewhere in the trees or in the grass?)

I have lived in this house for 15 years, and always opened the windows in the summer. But I noticed these creatures for the first time this summer. Who is it? Do they bite? How do I protect my apartment? (the grid on the window is not a barrier, they are much smaller) They smell really strong (

The bug in the photo is 1 mm in size.

The larvae of some bedbugs. They'll probably die of starvation.

What are the supposed bedbugs? What do they eat? Can they bite people or cats (cats like to sit on windowsills)?
Or should I contact the bug branch instead?

A month after the move, such animals appeared. Mostly on the ceiling in the kitchen. They often fall into food.

Who are they and how to prepare them better?



Thank You
