  Take 2: I caught a bug and took a picture.
Tell me who it is and how to fight? And where does this come from?

People, please help me identify them and advise me on what to do.
A month ago, beetles appeared in the bathroom and toilet floor. Then they began to fall from all the cracks (even lamps) and today I found them behind the pipe. They are hard, black, often just lying on the floor or moving slowly. I don't know where they came from, but they've already started crawling out of the rooms. How to deal with this? Should I call the service?
Thank you all!

These are weevils from the subfamily of rotten weevils (you can't determine the exact type from the photo, and not everyone can determine them from the existing beetleyes.gif).
They develop in moist rotten wood. In your case, most likely in wooden floorboards... To fight - you need to make repairs, replacing wooden elements affected by the beetle. So that they don't start up again - there should be no leaks. They develop in WET wood!

Good afternoon, dear experts! This morning I saw such animals at work. I would like to know what kind of insect and what to do with it?

Woodlice is a land cancer. develops in wet places, accidentally crawls into the premises...

I found it in an apartment on the fifth floor, it doesn't look like anything, will it multiply and do I need to disinfect the premises?
Thank you for your answers.

This is the larva of a predatory bug (I forgot the exact name). If you touch it, it can prick noticeably. Not a typical resident of apartments, accidentally got outside.

In principle, ENO answered correctly, except: in a person's home, this predatory bug is not such a random guest. In your picture-the larva of reduvius ryazheny (another Russian name-dirty predator) - Reduvius personatus. Having spread from North Africa throughout Europe and North America, this species has become synanthropic. A predator that feeds on insects, but can also attack young birds in attics and suck blood. However, it has not been detected as a human parasite wink.gif. So, it doesn't pose any danger to you.

Human dwellings are of varying degrees of proximity to the primitive version. But it is in city apartments that I have never met these camouflaged larvae, despite the fact that, outside, on the walls of high-rise buildings, they are full.

The fact that you (or someone else) have not met reduvium larvae (which, by the way, are nocturnal) in "urban" apartments (by the way, the term is also very vague - and in the city there are apartment-to-apartment differences, and not only according to its sanitary condition), does not mean that these beetles are not they are found (and quite often) in a person's home. However, the discussion on this topic is meaningless: the synanthropic lifestyle of Reduvius ryazheny, and, accordingly, his appearance in apartments, especially the upper (adjacent to attics) and lower (adjacent to basements) floors, is a well - known fact that does not require additional evidence.

I don't know about you, but for many years I have known "by sight" all the permanent macroscopic entomophagus of my own apartment, even with daytime activity. even with night, even round the clock. And not a single bug is listed in it. Despite the fact that these reduvias on the exterior walls are quite a lot. By the way, you are mistaken about their exclusively nocturnal lifestyle.

I do not dispute the fact that, in principle, this bug can come across in apartments. Even the example of topikstarter is evidence of this. I'm just saying that this is not a typical representative of the permanent apartment entomofauna (which, for example, are prusak and barn fire), but an occasional guest who does not stay long. Accordingly, there is no need to take any disinsection measures that the vehicle is concerned about.

That's good. I'm happy for you. And for your entomophagy. smile.gif

What's your habit of banging on an open door? Who do we object to, who do we argue with? Did anyone here advise the vehicle to take such measures, or to panic about the reduvium larva found?
TS, thanking everyone for their answers, has long understood everything and did not ask any additional questions.
Just relax. The topic is over.

03.06.2017 10:16, Hierophis

So that's it che umnik.gif
Macroscopic entomophaga eats all the reduvia in the apartment, then penetrates the territory of the apartment, and eats out all the pandoras, swallowtails and scolias with baviuses there, frown.gif weep.gifand only by August the entomophaga is eaten, and finally at least some pandoras appear in the vicinity of Donetsk..

These larvae appear periodically on domestic plants, and also today they were found on windows. They come in white, but today they also found orange. Please help us determine what kind of insect they are and whether they pose any danger.

Guys, who is this? Very similar to an ant with wings... They appear every year for probably the last 3-4 years, for a while and then disappear confused.gifwithout a trace. Thank you in advance mol.gif IMG_20170613_185841.jpg20170613_185219.jpg20170613_185606.jpg20170613_185431.jpg

Yes, there are ant males. But further on such photos can not be determined. Is that right in the apartment years? Don't you get any workers?

These are definitely not larvae, but moth eggs, and the larvae have already got out of there. I do not know whose eggs they are, but they are unlikely to pose any danger.

1. Well, not an apartment, but a private house... It probably doesn't change anything, though... By the hours of 4-6 pm, they climb out and so on up to the point that they can fly at least at night if there is a light source, there is silence during the day, there is no one there, except for a couple of corpses on the windowsill.
2. I didn't understand much about the workers. If you're talking about guys without wings, then they don't exist at all.

Yes, search better. Just not on the window, of course, but in other places of the room.

I saw that they like to make nests in the insulation. Try searching in this direction.

Who is it? Found in the children's beds! I took a picture, tried to pin it down, and IT jumped - I still didn't understand where. Can IT bite people?
Before that, they found bites similar to mosquitoes, which then turned blue and looked like an allergic reaction from a midge bite. Help! Baby last sleeping in his own bed(((

Hello dear forumchane. Today I found several identical insects of different sizes under the carpet in different corners of the room, all dead, similar to bedbugs, but some silvery and kind of like with a tail. Help me recognize plizz.

And it's not fate to make a photo and post it?
Guessing is a thankless task, but if they are silvery and have a tail, then aren't they sugar scales? Cclinks: https://www.google.ru/search?q=сахарная+чеш...iw=1680&bih=940

Insects, in principle, are harmless. True, they don't look like bedbugs at all wink.gif.

Hello, a week ago someone started feeding heavily on my blood. My skin is blotchy and itchy. As the dermatologist said, this is a reaction to insect bites. In the sofa I found one twitching little animal, and the next day - another, but no longer stirring. You are welcome!!!! Help us identify who it is and how to deal with it.

Hello. There are strange beetles in the apartment... Externally similar to staphylinid (like correctly written). There are some with wings, some without. Black, or sooooo dark. They move quickly, like to raise their belly-tail up. And there are a lot of them! Tell us if they are dangerous and how to get rid of them confused.gifIn the house of children and two cats...

Species of the Bisnius parcus group are related in their development to pigeon nests (thanks to Fornax13 for the precise definition). We had to deal with a similar case at a food processing plant. A huge number of these beetles poured into the rooms through the ventilation passages. After destroying the pigeon nests in the attic, baring the ventilation windows and a couple of treatments in the attic, everything went well. Demand that the housing office destroy pigeons in the attic! And preventing their settlement in the future. Otherwise, other measures of struggle will be useless.

The upper photo shows the skin of a skin-eating larva. You can't see the insect on the bottom one. The bites are similar to those of a mosquito.

26.06.2017 18:31, Зимона

Necrocephalus, will you tell me? If yes, then we live in a semi-detached house, we have our own yard. Birds don't nest here - cats have discouraged flying even close to the fence... And our management company is not responsible for anything, which is why we were forced to refuse their services (because what should they pay for then?).

26.06.2017 18:34, Зимона

Yes, and pigeons have not been in our city for a long time (even strange). By the way, we live in a small town in Yakutia

26.06.2017 18:50, Necrocephalus

Yes, then it turns out to be interesting. Are you sure there aren't any nests in the attic? Does the house have a basement? How many beetles do you find every day? Is there no poultry in the yard?

26.06.2017 19:15, Зимона

There are no poultry, no nests, I find 10 beetles every day... Taking into account that I only go home in the evenings

26.06.2017 19:15, Зимона

We do not have a basement, but an underground one, it is always closed

26.06.2017 19:19, Necrocephalus

Ah, well, that's not much. Maybe a rat (cat, dog, underline) just died somewhere and they're hanging out on this carrion...

Hello! Please tell me, what is the name of this type of tick? Three times I noticed it only on the phone screen, as it is easier to notice it in the light. And also on the computer screen while writing this message. So they're crawling around the room somewhere. I will also add that pigeons live next to the balcony, does this tick belong to pigeons or is it a different species?Size 1 mm. Please help me determine it.

the main thing is not to eat them.
