Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Everyone knows that this is garbage.

We moved to a new building. New renovation, furniture. In the bathroom, I noticed small insects, first as a dot, noticed by movement. Now I began to notice them periodically. First once a week, now once a day. Mostly on the countertop. The color is transparent yellow or red. They run fast. Who is it? How to get rid of it? They're already driving me crazy! There is a small child in the house! Squeamish and disgusting, I hate insects! Please help me understand!

contact the program "Battle of psychics"

Strange creatures appeared in the parking lot of a residential building. They look like cockroaches, but they are slow and have short whiskers, although maybe they were high.

A cockroach, of course. But it would be nice to show it from the back.

From the back. The house is new, but in the house Pyaterochka.

The first picture was better.
But don't worry, this is some tropical view from the blaberids. They are herbivorous and come to us with imported fruits. They are not able to take root in our conditions - sooner or later they will die themselves.

Thank you, reassured )

The bathroom may have collemboles if there is high humidity somewhere (for example, water leaks or condenses). There can also be hay eaters, if there is mold somewhere. Neither of these nor other hazards to humans do not represent. "Poison" them is not worth it-it is more expensive for yourself, since you can breathe all the chemistry. Well, if they are very annoying, and there is no way to repair drains and taps, just push with any object that comes to hand.
And what is the reason for your "hatred"? If this is a gratuitous phobia, then you should contact other specialists.

Good afternoon!
Please help me identify the insect. Found on the bed. Length 0.5 cm-09cm.

Barbel from the genus Pogonocherus, develops in coniferous meshes. Its appearance hints-throw away the Christmas tree

And the reason for their appearance ? There was a Christmas tree, but it was artificial. There are no other conifers available. The copy on the first photo was found a week ago on the bed in the apartment, on the second photo-just a few days ago.

So something else is available from untreated (or poorly treated) pine wood. There were maggots in it. And now the beetles have hatched.

Good afternoon, dear forumchane! help me, if possible, identify the species of spider that has taken up residence in my house!

At the beginning of January, together with the kalanchoe flower, we bought this small miracle in the store.
It was a pity to throw it away - it would die in the cold. The spider stayed with us to live on the flower. After a while, the spider made a cocoon-they thought they caught a fruit fly, but still came to the conclusion that there would be offspring.

And then, after a month of living with me, the spider suddenly died... We were upset, and the next day we found that a lot of tiny spiders came out of the cocoon!

I don't have a macro camera to take pictures of my mother and offspring, and I don't have a smartphone either. So I made a video (I throw a link to the video), maybe you can identify it from the video.
And interestingly, an adult has front legs like a scorpion (or a praying mantis, I don't understand), only the claw lacks one finger so that you can click and grab something. An interesting spider...

And now I'm worried about the question: what to feed the spiders and whether they can be released into nature with the arrival of deep spring?
PS The video may be blurry at the beginning - the phone didn't always capture the image...

This is the first time I've seen a spider with such a characteristically extended leg segments... hmm...

It seems that the flower was brought with a "passenger" from Asia or Africa. If the spider was from those latitudes, it could be poisonous. But this is just my assumption.

Mamadorogaya, don't scare me like that) The spider is small, together with its legs stretched forward, no more than 5 mm. I hope his poison won't be enough to kill me))))
And yet, when it hangs on a spider web, it stretches its front legs forward and puts them parallel to each other-just as a swimmer stretches his arms forward when diving into water. so it hangs - the front ones are forward, the rear ones are stretched back.
I really hope that the spider is not imported, because there is no way to keep it at home, and if you release a heat-loving brood, they will die in the winter...

PS I just picked up my mother's corpse and looked at it through a big magnifying glass. I wish I hadn't. What I'm not afraid of spiders, and then I already got hysterical - still, even though he's cute, but at the same time very scary at high magnification...

Yes, clearly some kind of non-banal spider. I'll try to repost it on the social network.

If you don't mind, I'd really appreciate it. I searched the entire Internet, but I didn't find anything like this. Ask, except for this Forum, I don't even know who...

The only thing is to find some department of biology, entomology, arachnology or whatever else you can find somewhere...

I now have this brood infested with a kalanchoe bush. I'm afraid they'll spread all over the house. I already have book scorpions - I've seen them a couple of times. But I'm not afraid of them. Yes, and these small ones.
But I'm more afraid of harming them and I'm worried about the question - is it possible to release them into our nature?

An arachnologist friend (my namesake, by the way) identified the species as Uloborus walckenaerius. It is distributed in the Palearctic, namely in: Russia, Western, Southern Europe and parts of Northern Europe, Spain, Portugal, Sardinia, Corsica, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, southern Afghanistan, China, Mongolia, Japan and Cyprus. Sakhalin. So it's all right, it's probably ours.

Oh, thank you so much!!! That is, I can grow them up and release them into the wild, where is it better? Only if they also live in Cyprus... How do they survive in our frosts?...

And yet, as much as I've watched spiders, this is also the first time I've seen such a species. Perhaps one commentator was right (see above), who suggested that it could have been brought along with a potted flower...

Here I found one photo. My spider folded its front legs in the same way. And it's very similar in shape. Only my belly was sandy in color and on top of it a wide brown stripe (or two, I've already forgotten). And on my front paws there was such a thickening, like a scorpion's claw, only without one claw finger. This thickening does not have, probably, another subspecies...

Oh, and Ukraine is not listed... There is Russia, but Russia is big and the climate there is diverse... What do you think, and in Ukraine they live - the eastern part, bordering the Belgorod region?... maybe we should go across the border to Belgorod and release them there?

Probably a stupid question, but still... It's a pity for the "tummies"...

I understand that the species Uloborus walckenaerius is a generalization, but what kind of this species is my spider-we need to clarify now. Could you please clarify if you don't mind?....

Julia, biology uses a binary classification. Uloborus walckenaerius. Genus and species. In other words, this is the most accurate information about the spider in the species classification. If I had just written Uloborus, then yes, you would have thought: "What kind does it belong to?" - and so everything is extremely accurate.
Whether to let go or not, you can decide for yourself. Actually, they should survive, but I'd leave a couple of them to guard the house from insects.
A simple example: I was overcome by cockroaches in my dorm, so I got a couple of house spiders and one flycatcher. So they live and thrive, and I haven't seen a cockroach in a month and a half.

Oh, and Ukraine is not listed...

Ukraine is eastern Europe. And Europe is on the list)

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a large number of information sites for technical reasons, but in one article I found that " Uloborids are very rare and generally not typical for the middle zone." And now I think, maybe they should be given to the zoo due to the rarity of the species? It is unlikely that we in the city have fans of spiders in general, and this kind in particular...

Thanks a lot, but I'm not thinking straight anymore, I'm so worried about the spiders... I read that "Uloborids are very rare and generally not typical for the middle zone" so I'm worried about what to do with them now...

Great idea! You can do just that! If they accept, of course...
If I was there, I would take it to myself, but it's too far)

Thank you for your answers!
In my kitchen in the back cupboards (here I am a bad hostess )huge black spiders live-they spin webs and catch midges. Sometimes someone crawls out. Then I periodically take them out to the corridor (only when it's warm, let them walk on the 16th floors). If I leave these ones, they are small-they will be suppressed by cats who love to catch them very much, or we will crush them ourselves. It's a pity. I'd give it to a zoo or a collection...

I haven't found out how long Uloborus walckenaerius spiders live anywhere. Everywhere infa as a carbon copy-general data. But it is technically difficult to search in an extended way, because we block a lot of sites...

They are really growing by leaps and bounds! You can already see them without a magnifying glass and they are the sea... I've already found one child's corpse under a flower pot. Why did he leave so early?(((

Google the name of the family-Uloboridae. There are quite a lot of photos of different types.
On the front legs there is no thickening, but a tuft of thick hairs.

Thanks for the tip. I have already seen so many photos that I become an arachnophobe and am glad that I am not a fly))))
In all the pictures that I saw-the legs without these thickenings, only in my video they are completely clearly visible.
I will now search until victory, perhaps I will be lucky, and there is a photo on which a bunch of thick hairs is clearly visible. it is very interesting to look at these hairs)))

And in general, on the Internet I was not lucky enough to find detailed material about Uloborus walckenaerius. Everywhere just like a carbon copy of brief information and about the halo of habitat. And everything. Well, I found a job again: "N.Y.Polchaninov
Annotated List of Spiders (Araneae) Kharkiv region (Ukraine)" - very interesting, my personal Uloborida is also mentioned there. And so that specifically the structure of the spider, reproduction, life time-I did not find anything. Already surprisingly, with such a huge availability of information on the World Wide Web-I did not find the info. Maybe I'm looking the wrong way?..

For some reason, you are stuck on one view, although its definition was given presumably. But there are other species in the genus Uloborus. So, " seek and ye shall find."
As for the bristles on the legs, it is not for nothing that these spiders are also called "featherleg spiders". But the bristles can only be seen at high magnification. They look something like this:

Well, I looked at a lot of pictures and it was Uloborus walckenaerius that seemed to me the most similar to my spider. I, of course, can be mistaken and different spiders may look exactly the same to me, although even some tiny dot on the spider's body may be a sign of a different species ... Eh...
Thank you for the photos - absolutely wonderful shaggy paws - I did not find such photos!..

Can I take photos of them? Huge, black, and weaving at the same time. You didn't breed Karakurts in your home?

I'll do it as soon as someone crawls out. I'm afraid to go near them myself. Especially after several days of looking at different spiders in magnification. I've never been afraid of them, and now I feel uneasy))))
Unfortunately, my camera, which made amazing macro photography, is dead forever. I won't buy a new normal one in the near future, and it's very difficult to take pictures on your phone so that there are decent pictures. But I'll try...

And my bunches have crawled somewhere from the flower (((Now I'm afraid to do the cleaning and dust off - I can tell everyone who knows where they crawled away...(((((

PS Still climbed into a deep, deep closet - the kingdom of spiders - and was scared numb: one web, mountains of corpses of flies and other numerous spiders (red, small and shrunken) and no signs of healthy, fat, black spiders! Now I'm afraid to go to bed. One hope is that they went behind the cabinet through the holes in the back wall, and do not crawl all over the apartment(((.
On one of the shelves I found only a small spider, it is three times smaller than those. Just in case, I took a picture, but the quality on the phone is terrible(((
