"Hook flies", perhaps, refers to the Bibio marci pachyderm?

their larvae look like this:

They couldn't eat too many flowers, because they feed on nectar.

The gray-black larvae are probably soft-bodied larvae (Cantharidae), they are now leaving for the winter:

If you take a photo, you can tell more accurately.

The fly is similar, but the larva is not. So these aren't their nests. I guessed this only by comparing the number of flies flying-literally clouds-and the number of larvae. Here is a soft-bodied larva similar, and what, they nest like this in 100-200 pieces??? Horror... If I can go and find the nest, I'll take a picture.

Dear entomologists,

Please help me identify the creature found in the Moscow apartment.
We saw three such fast-running "centipedes" on a spring mattress with a wooden frame, which, in turn, lies on a carpet made of natural sheep wool on a laminate floor.
When the mattress was lifted, several dozen more living and dead creatures of various sizes were found on the carpet. In the photo - one of the largest. The height of the letters on a piece of paper is about 2.5 mm.
The more we know about these "guests", the better.
Thank you so much to everyone who can tell me something!

It looks like the larva of some kind of beetle from the family of leatherworms (Dermestidae). In your case, this is an unpleasant neighborhood (eats skins, etc.). Measure of control: Naphthalene.

Hello!
In the summer, a strange creature was discovered in the village. (500 km from Moscow)
Externally, it is very similar to a calibri, small with very fast wings, and a tail.
At first I thought it was just a small bird of a rare species.
She flew to the flowers near the house and hovered over the flowers, could freeze in one place, and she had a proboscis.
But birds do not have proboscis, they are different in butterflies, but butterflies do not have tails... What's it?
There is only a video, I couldn't take a picture because the "bird" is very fast.
Never seen anything like this in this area before!
If someone is interested, write, ICQ-

I myself am very interested in what it is =)) that's why I leave my contacts.

And this butterfly is a hawk moth.

Small insects in the bathroom 1-3 mm long grayish color in the form of "droplets" what kind of resident is this? It turns out more often at night, turning on the light, they freeze as if dead. Who are they and what kind of species? And how to distance them from such popular folk places=) .
Thank you.

Note: they are wingless and run quite fast on different surfaces.

it looks like "sugar flake" only there are no big antennae

I think they're woodlice, at least that's what we call them. There are also relatively large ones, about 1 cm. Quite harmless creatures, the same age as dinosaurs. In the bathroom, because it is damp, they always strive for water. As I noticed, they also pick up some garbage, or midges. At least they don't bother

me, and they hardly do me any harm.
Much more disgusting is such a multi-legged red muck with horns, 2-8 cm in size, which also starts up in dampness, for example, under pipes in the bathroom or in the country under damp boards.

Hello! On the floor below, the neighbors are dysfunctional: we can't get rid of cockroaches. And then I found bites on the body, like from bedbugs. I shook the whole bed, found no one. A day later I caught a bug, but only one. And there were no more bites. Then there was itching and prickly bites, but no one is visible. The house cat is itching all over! There are no fleas. I began to change the bed linen, in the pillow I found small insects up to 1 mm pale yellow, they run fast. I threw out the pillows, change the linen every day, boil it. I watered the room and the bed "Clean House". It was enough to sleep quietly for two nights after a day of airing. And yesterday I found them on the wall in the kitchen. Who are they and how to destroy them?

Hi, everybody… who can recognize what kind of goosebumps are found in the kitchen while I haven't seen them anywhere else, crawling on the tile, on the table on the windowsill. Yellowish color size 0.5-1 mm, crawl on their paws, jump 5 – 10 cm when touched. The apartment is new renovated recently ... new furniture. I've never seen anything like this before. Can this animal live in laminate, I have suspicions that these beetles appeared after the laminate was put on the floor... although it is put in all rooms.. Help us get rid of them..

hay eater. Sorry, the previous page doesn't show that you've already received a response.
