I decided not to create a new theme. Oblong, brown, about 3 millimeters long. They can jump fast. Most of them were seen in the wall. Very fond of packaging with soap =) What is it and how to deduce it?

Oblong, brown, about 3 millimeters long. They can jump fast.

Of course, it is 100% Oryzaephilus and, most likely, it is O. surinamensis. That's just about the ability of these beetles to jump quickly?! This is something new, if you say it softly, and if you say it harsher - it can't be, because it can never be!

What's this mess? walks backwards and sideways, in the bathroom and toilet! from the front, two pincers, slightly larger than a match head.

It is considered to be a predator

an ogre?

10.03.2009 7:23, Bad Den

an ogre?

No, only collects skulls, these beetles are definitely not capable of jumping, but they are quite capable of flying.

10.03.2009 19:56, Аазя

hello, tell me is this the same bug?


and then I thought that it was because of the dampness, more even in the bathroom than in the kitchen (

10.03.2009 21:06, Аазя

thank you, this is still him, I found the place where I was hiding, now we will pay more attention to the cereals

Try taking a picture. Somehow...

And the description is very similar to some kind of rider. If this is it, then:
1. An adult bug was born from larvae that parasitize the larvae of other insects. And she doesn't jump with her tail, she lays eggs with it )
2. Its larva most likely eats some barn pests (such as a bread grinder or tobacco beetle). Or maybe someone else. First, review your inventory to see if anything has started up.
3. The fact of the presence of ambergris pests is not a very pleasant thing. But because they are exterminated by riders - rejoice!
4. Stupid question. Did you happen to bring a log or a piece of wood into the house? The larvae that gnaw on wood are also parasitized by horsemen, often in large numbers.

In general, you intrigued me. Tell us about the search results!

Well, if there is a cluster of wild rose bushes, then, Elenochka, I beg your pardon!

These are almost certainly not insect parasites, but herbivorous species. There is such a family Torymidae, and it comes across species that develop in fruits, and especially in rose hips.
They will not eat anything else, because females lay eggs only in young ovaries. They'll fly for a day and die. It's bad for them at home!

Regarding underdeveloped mouthparts: this is not uncommon in adult insects. But how did you consider it!?

I've never seen Torymidae before. Lucky you as

13.03.2009 5:11, ElenochkaBekker

Yes, you are right! I found on the Internet an exact copy of mine of this family!


I used to be very interested in biology and everything related to it.

The fact of the matter is that yours are most likely not parasites, but herbivores.
If you are so interested, look for Megastigmus aculeatus Swed. "Roseate long-tailed seed-eater. It will also be similar In them, the females lay eggs in the rosehip ovary, and the larvae feed on seeds.

And in order to determine the type of Such a hymenopteran from a photo , it is necessary to be a major specialist in this particular group, and even have the audacity !
Other Torymidae (if I'm not mistaken, there are more than a thousand species) are really more often parasitic. They parasitize very, very different insects!

Recently, small brown beetles up to 3 mm in length began to appear on the windowsill, on curtains, sometimes on the floor and on the bed... It looks like they can fly, but they do it inactive and in general they are some kind of sluggish, but the neighborhood with them leads my wife to a wild panic

There are beetles at home..creep on the window sill and tulle...approximately 3-4 mm in size... brown color and the head is also brown...still these reptiles can fly..... in the winter they were not...spring had begun and they were climbing...not so long ago, they also had neighbors...the same size...but the shape of a bedbug resembles...with variegated coloring...help who they are and what they need from me ((((

Well tc spring! Anthrenus picturatus in the attached photo.
Brown-probably Attagenus smirnovi again.
We've already written a lot about them.

Somehow I can't do it...
They disgust me!
And I will by any means but survive them!
