Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Recently in Moscow I saw a strange insect with a size of 11-12 cm. I thought that such insects exist only in hot countries! Please help me find out what it's called!

Tell me, please, can a kozheed bite?Found a bunch of maggots in an old cotton blanket, cat. it was put away in the sofa, on the floor. we're sleeping. I threw everything out, washed the sofa, and even sprayed it with dichlorvos. From the photos on the Internet, I determined that this is a kozheed, I only saw the beetles themselves a couple of times. Someone bites only the legs at night, then itches very much, and in the morning I find on the bed, in the legs, grains that look like earth, but this is not the earth. I don't understand anything! Help!

These aren't leatherheads. You're the one with the bedbugs.
Here, take a look here. Similar?

Who could it be? Length-4 mm.
I found it on my computer desk.
Thank you.

There are no bedbugs, I was looking, I found only leatherworms, you can find bedbugs, after dichlorvos it became better.

I'm afraid it's a bed bug (Cimex lectularius).

Dear Forumchane,

I am an ordinary person who does not have a professional relationship to insects, I came to your forum after meeting a strange beetle. Please tell me what kind of beetle it was, it was very strange-almost mystical.
Last night, a beetle flew into the apartment through the window, its description:

- black with not very large yellow spots or stripes, I did not really see, about 2 cm long, rounded, black belly and legs.

He flew up to the chandelier a couple of times, maneuvered badly, because he fell from the collision. When it fell the second time , through a narrow crack between the floor lamp and the wall, I decided to catch it and throw it out the window. Since I am afraid of them, I began to pick it out of the crack with a long stick - it suddenly began to make sounds like a rattle, and released a strong smell, unpleasant. In general, I felt a little creepy, I poked it with a stick to get it out of there. And apparently, poor, pursed up. I pulled it out - but then from this beetle began to get out and run in different directions small beetles or spiders, I did not understand - 1 mm in size, light brown-15-20 pieces.

This picture was very strange... I picked up the bug with a piece of paper and threw it out of the window, but the beetles had to be suppressed, they were too fast to run to all corners...

In the Internet, I started looking at information about beetles - I didn't understand much about this beetle, and the fact that a bunch of small beetles began to run out of the beetle - I also didn't find it in the info about beetles.

Tell me, please, what kind of beetle it was and in general, whether it happens what I described... because then I began to think that it was something strange and mystical, especially on the Internet about the reproduction of beetles, I read that they lay larvae in trees... and then, before my eyes, a beetle gave birth to small beetles....

Thank you in advance.... Sorry if my questions are stupid...
But I can't get this bug and its beetles out of my head...

With respect...

Sounds like your guest?

The beetle is not mystical, although it has a rather gloomy name-the gravedigger (Nicrophorus sp.). There are about a dozen species on the ETR.
They develop on carrion, useful in that in a short time they bury and eat the corpses of even fairly large animals. At the same time, the female takes care of the offspring (which is very rare for beetles in general) - she feeds the larvae herself. They can creak, yes. Stink, too ) They are also very often attracted by artificial light, which happened in your case as well. For humans, it is safe in itself, but since it develops on carrion, it would not hurt to wash your hands after contact. And they almost always sit on the nymphs of mites (as in the picture) - parasites of various invertebrates that live in carrion, are not dangerous for humans. They also do not harm the beetle, ticks use it as a transport.

most likely, it was just some kind of parasitic beetles or ticks on it. there is nothing terrible or dangerous about it.

Someone bites the child at night, they went to the dermatologist said that the allergy, but it disappears as soon as the child does not start at home, and today I found under the linoleum small red incomprehensible, they look like a magpie only small, help what is it? and how to output

Most likely, we are talking about the grave digger (Nicrophorus). And Small beetles-ticks traveling on it.

Look, does your beetle look like this one? This gravedigger flew to the light bait, where I photographed it.

Fornax13, Thank you for your information!!
Yes, that's the bug!
Now I'm calm, because I thought I was glitching.... Now I won't worry.
The name is really dark....
I wonder why he flew in on me. Maybe this is a sign of some kind-they say, the old life is over, a new one begins? And the gravedigger came to clean up the old stage of life, so that nothing remained of it? ))

Thank you for your answers!!!

This is the same beetle, now I'm calm about what is in nature, and then I thought that something was wrong with me from the heat-the glitches went ))))
Do you know the esoteric meaning of the arrival of such beetles? Maybe this has its own meaning, a sign...? Like any professional, you entomologists also have your own symbols, signs, and omens.... What the arrival of this beetle in my house might mean - it would be interesting to hear from you...

Thank you again for your reply!

The beetle in the photo is Necrophorus vespillo. As for the esoteric meaning, there is nothing mystical in this, the beetle flew in, attracted by the light.

and please tell me ! what to do I found out that exactly the same camara flies settled in my house and potstoyanno interfere . they sit down. on me especially when I sleep they are dangerous for a person?????

Hello. Please help me identify another bug. Size-about 3 mm, was found in oat flakes.

this is a flour eater or Surinamese or red

Hello, colleagues.

This summer at the dacha (100 km from Moscow) in a wooden house got strange creatures. Very similar to wasps, but without wings. About 2 cm in size, the head and chest are black, the belly is black-brown striped. It bites painfully, but it doesn't leave a sting (it hasn't yet, at least). Very tenacious. When in danger, it emits a fairly loud squeak. Who is it and where to look for a colony-spraying insecticides in corners and crevices does not bring much benefit, and the number of these insects is growing every day.

Could you take a picture? It is very interesting if the size is specified correctly.

Could you take a picture? It is very interesting if the size is specified correctly.

I'll definitely take a picture this weekend.
By the way! Just today, the wife in the clothes brought from the dacha, found this creature. And! The insect got out of the laundry AFTER an HOUR OF WASHING IN THE TYPEWRITER AT 80 gr. S. The wife trampled her feet and was able to kill her only after she really smeared her on the floor. And again she talked about the loud squeak...
That's it!!!!

Just in case, do not destroy one copy, put it in a jar-just in case something really cool turns out.

Please help me!!! We live on the 2nd floor, next to a cherry tree. A whole horde of small insects (something like aphids) flies from it. How to deal with them?

hello!tell me who knows if possible exactly what the gray or mottled grasshopper eats?unfortunately I don't remember latin

In the bathroom, I found quite a lot of these insects
, the size is no more than 1mm, there is less
Crawling, jumping if they feel the danger of being crushed

What kind of attack is this?

This is a hay eater, Trogium pulsatorium or something like that. They jump on my balcony, too. Nothing terrible, in general.

yesterday there was a mass flight of these butterflies from the kitchen cabinet-source oatmeal.
tell me who it is and whether it is necessary to save (throw out) other products, oatmeal is frozen, the corpse is photographed.

Some beetles appeared in the apartment, no bigger than a ballpoint pen dot in size, they are so tiny that I can't even see them, light in color (about like an alder).First I found them on wooden chopping boards, then in empty pots , in short, they live in kitchen tables.Maybe someone has met these running dots?
On the photo - cutting board

I found a spider on the ceiling today...I'm terribly afraid of them, and he's also such a big Husband caught him in a jar, I've never seen such a thing. Its legs are light brown, its belly is gray, and there are three triangle-shaped spots on its back. Please tell me, who is it here?

Spider-maybe a crosspiece of some kind... Without a photo, it's hard to say anything.

it seems that this is one of the lowest... occult-maxillary ones. I also have them, or rather I had them before. It is possible to pass through.

Today, if they give me the camera, I will definitely take a picture of the spider.

Here it is, the spider

Prchitala a bunch of forums, but about this is not a word. Save us! I can't sleep well anymore, it always feels like someone is crawling over me. And on the bed here are such mustachios we find. Well, of course, not only on the bed, they are also on the windowsills and in the bathroom and even in semolina found. All open products have already been thrown away, but they do not disappear there is a suspicion that they eat wood because there are a lot of them on the windowsills and some other transparent small creatures, and our frames are wooden and do not look like they have been processed.
Please tell me who they are and how to get rid of them. the size is 2-3 mm, it doesn't look like they flew, we find mostly by the piece, although once I crushed a couple in love.
and About the transparent ones I thought that their larvae, but then I doubted finding out that they jump 5-7 cm if they notice the danger, I don't have time to take a picture of them, I'm in a hurry to crush them before they jump.

The beetle-Oryzaephilus surinamensis or mercator-crawls from grain products. On the wooden frames, they're transparent - I think they're hay eaters again.

from what interesting grains it crawls if everything is already in sealed cans, and what kind ... it was spreading all over the apartment... I also found it in children's books, and they are in the room on the windowsill. there's definitely no cereal there. And how massively do they reproduce, otherwise they have a mating season?

Yes, the child is also interested in who has visited our balcony? There was a baby bath there to swim in hot weather and that's how it rained for a couple of days, well, the balcony was closed and the provannu was forgotten, in the sense of pouring water, and as the sun looked out again on the balcony to play, so they found this waterfowl in the bathroom, and it disappeared as incomprehensibly as it appeared, in the evening of that the same day it disappeared, where it is not known: it doesn't seem to have wings, or maybe also where the thread on the balcony got into the crack and started breeding?
The photos certainly didn't turn out very well, the sun was very bright with a shiny bath. The body seems to be scaly, dark gray, and on the sides either legs, or fins. By itself, 5-7mm long is not exactly remember. and it looks like there are fins under those legs, like another pair of legs. The child of course had half a day of fun, it made such turns under the water..

I thought about the hay eaters, it doesn't look like judging by the photos on the forum, their body resembles the body of these brown beetles and noticed that the larger they are, the less they jump and not so far, those that are bigger are not completely transparent and grayish. And hay eaters seem to breed in wet places. and what can be the humidity in the heat on the windowsill, on the sunny side.

from what interesting grains it crawls if everything is already in sealed cans, and what kind ... it was spreading all over the apartment...

From the croup, he does not crawl, but has already crawled out (from the semolina, for example) and "settled" in the apartment. And maybe where the groats/flour woke up in what slot, so it will continue to breed there.
The apartment is crawling - all the insects are trying to settle.
In the bath on the balcony - bed bug-gladysh bug-greblyak. I could fly in at night and leave at night. It has wings.
