Thank you, I did. If it's not difficult, take a look.

Elizar was right: Your beetle is Hoplia parvula.

Hello
I have in my apartment (storage room and adjoining room) appeared strange beetles. They didn't appear long ago. Dark in color. all covered with hairs. 3-4 mm, come out at night, feed on organic matter, in particular wood (bed). They run fast like that. Here are the pictures:





I wrote to mail-questions, and they answered me there. what are these Synanthropes: larvae of the skin-eating beetle.
I didn't find anything useful in the Internet (namely, how to withdraw it). Google is silent.
Actual questions: who it is (if not difficult, then exactly) and how to lime.

Thank you in advance

It looks like there are leatherworm larvae. They eat organic food, but only wood! This is the first time I've heard it.
They just crawl most likely on under the bed. Do you have any photos of an adult beetle?
How to harass kozheedov much has already been written here. Read the forum.

Ehh, that's the rub. We caught a few, but put them in a jar, put shavings there, so they stuck it all over, (photo below. on it, not all of them moved up to the shavings, but after a few days they all stuck to it). Moreover, they feed, in the second photo you can see such small grains. This, sorry, is their discharge after eating. Such grains, only in piles and more, just meet between the bars by the bed. There are also wood blanks (for carving) in the pantry. There are beetles out there, too.

I know that beetles larvae are only afraid of water.
We took everything out of the room, all the cracks were covered with varnish and the floor and bed (on the floor there is plywood soaked in stain and varnish, but the varnish is already worn out in places.)
Can Dichlorvos kill them?
And yet, what is this subspecies specifically, maybe Google will help then. It seems to be a family of Dermestidae, but I don't know for sure myself.

There are no photos of beetles, many people fly in the summer, maybe they have already seen it.

Of course, I understand that people have already written somewhere about how to display them, but still read 50 pages of the forum...
Search on the site for queries + kozheed +destroy and similar does not display anything, can at least give a link to the page=)

Dichlorvos kills them (in your case). And the link is here (true, a new topic and problems of entomologists in it): http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=403353
They also do us a lot of harm .

Good people, please give me some advice!
In the middle of June, a lot of beetles, very similar to the hay eater, were bred in the chicken coop. Small, smaller than a poppy seed, almost transparent with yellowness. They mostly sit on the wooden ceiling made of old floorboards, and when you go into the chicken coop, they fall on your head and scatter. It doesn't seem to bite, but running around is disgusting - it itches. and not immediately crush - very small.
The hens have bare backs, all stripped to the skin. At first I thought it was their rooster trampling like that, but the neighbors have a sexual aggressor no worse, and chickens in feathers. But, like, and not pukhoed. Calmly dispenses with chickens, sits on the ceiling and has already begun an intervention on the wooden gate.
This bastard doesn't give a damn about Dichlafos. Twice I made a smoke haze out of straw and grass. there is no effect. I don't let animals into the chicken coop and I don't know what to do!!!

I think they're mites, like chicken ticks. Rather unpleasant thing

Good day!

we need to identify something.

recently I noticed some insects (on the bookshelf, but only in one place) with a size of approximately 0.4-0.6 mm. White. Something more difficult to say about the structure, because not to consider. yes, and the magnifying glass is unlikely to give anything. therefore, there is no point in taking a picture either. they run around in the light quite calmly. who is slow, who is fast. not too much, you can count it. in one place, about 10 pieces. I didn't notice it before.
the apartment has a lot of humidity (first floor). once again, they are found only in one place. For some reason, I saw them next to the books and the handkerchief. If I can barely see the beetles, I don't think I can see the eggs.
how can this nonsense be etched out? will disinsection help?
Saint Petersburg.

I can catch them, too, but where can I take them to be identified? in the SES? but I personally don't understand what SES is right now. I try to Google it, but it gives me a bunch of organizations, many of which are commercial. how much will it cost in terms of finances?

thank you!

added: maybe I'm just trying to relate events, but around the time these beetles were discovered, I started coughing while I was at home, in this room. most often in the morning and at night. When I'm not in bed, I don't cough much. during the day, on the street, everything is absolutely normal.
+a little itchy. again, either by itself or from these beetles.
maybe, of course, this is completely unrelated.

+ + + found "this" in the other room as well. and if you look closely, there are not 10 of them, but a lot of them. they just run around absent-mindedly.

I have this in my house. Who is this guy?????????????? They sit everywhere on the ceiling on the walls, which is interesting little mobile. They have a curved belly and two relatively long tails at the end. Please identify it, is it dangerous and how to deal with it?????????

These mayflies (order Ephemeroptera) are flying to your light. A pond nearby? Absolutely harmless animals, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow they will die of their own accord.

Good day to all, sorry if something like this has already been discussed, but there really is no time to just scroll through this amount of text. We are moving to another apartment, the house is old, Soviet, wooden floors. They began to make repairs, lifted the old furniture and carpet of the previous owners and found strange creatures that had never been seen before, although they lived in a similar house. We noticed that they hide under the baseboards, although the baseboards are plastic, but the floor is wooden, maybe they crawl there. Post pictures, tell me, pliz, what is it? What are the dangers and are they worth being afraid of? the forum realized that they are most similar to kozheedov, if so, then further it is clear, there is enough information on the forum, but we have doubts, the neighbors brought a box with their own, there they have everything and bedbugs... could it be them?! Thank you all in advance!

yes, it is leatherworms,and the neighbors really also have bedbugs.

Good day, dear biologists!
Can you tell me who it is? (see photo) and most importantly, what is the harm from it and how to get rid of it?
Periodically, we find it exclusively in the kitchen, and often already dead and upside down, and twice out of four on the gas stove!!! when it was found alive, it didn't show any activity - it didn't even run away.
I would be grateful to get an answer or at least a link

Krushchak flour Tenebrio molitor (I don't know how to get rid of it, probably sort out the flour and cereals or throw them out). But in general, look for a hearth in these.

Of course, this is Tenebrio molitor, but it is unlikely that these beetles develop in your flour products. In the kitchen, you find them, most likely, because adult beetles enter your apartment through the ventilation passages (hood) from the attic. And now Tenebrio molitor is developing in cities, most often in the attics where pigeons nest (in their nests and the remains of their vital activity).

Thanks! I still suspected that it was him, but I didn't find anything suspicious in the flour or cereals, and I also thought that the hood was to blame
About the attic, everything fits together because we have the top floor. Then the question remains whether it is enough to close the hood so that they do not get through, or they could already lay eggs and throw out the flour better?

I will add: it can also fly in the evening through open windows, vents (tighten with gauze).
It flies very well to the light-now I catch it on my balcony at night and it comes in full.

The grid is displayed in the window. I think we can prevent the appearance of new individuals, whether it is necessary to carry out some kind of cleaning, aimed at preventing the reproduction of those who managed to hide in the corners? Throw out all the cereals and flour? so I did not find any larvae there, and I did not see the beetle itself on the shelves...

Well, if everything is tightly closed, then there is nothing to worry about, but if you find it, then pass it on.

I took it to the parasitic lab. They were gamase mites. "Ornythonyssus bacoti". But almost nothing can be found about this subspecies. They said that most likely after the weed rats in the basement did not carry out disinfection. At home, they told me to wash the surfaces with salt water and spray them with regular insect repellent spray.
We called the house administration-they told us that they "carried out disinsection" and half of the apartments on the first floor complain anyway. They said that they will conduct it again. But I don't think they'll do it right if they did it the first time... I did the things prescribed by the laboratory. Is there anything else I can do?" Carry out a disinsection of the basement for your own money? I think it's a lot of money...

Who is it? It flew home and got stuck between the windows. It looks like a fly, but it looks like a striped one. Isn't it guilty of something that bites my friends and me, after which the bite site swells within a radius of 3-5cm?

Horsefly Chrysops. Bites very noticeably, but to 3-5 cm -

3-5 cm of the skin may swell completely - individual sensitivity

Something this year yields on these chrysopsians. I've already been bitten 7 times over the summer! A friend just the day before yesterday, too.

Please tell me what kind of creature it is. Whether it bites people and how dangerous it is (what it can tolerate). Surprisingly, just 2 days ago I did the treatment of an apartment from crawling insects and it remained alive-although it did not run away when I took it in tweezers.

How to poison them?

I showed such interest in it, because three days ago someone bit me so hard that my leg is still swollen.

Clearly a bedbug.But fear not, no bedding.

Clearly a bedbug.But fear not, no bedding.

And which one? I'm very interested in whether it bites people or not. And then this proboscis strongly resembles a syringe with a drop of toxin-it hints to me that yes.

p. s. Geographically Moscow, the first floor on the grid windows, where it came from is unclear.

Many bedbugs are biting.There are a lot of predators among them.I don't think it was his job to bite you.I won't tell you what kind of bug it is.But, most likely, it is passing by-flying.

The bug reminds me of a representative of horseflies (Miridae). They are herbivores. And the fact that he pulled out the proboscis - well, if you grab a person by the legs with tweezers, you can also pull out something else

They are herbivores.

Sorry, but I thought I caught the one who bit me

What to do if you have (as I believe) bed beetles? We have a communal apartment, we have a cat, and the neighbors have three more cats, all the neighbors are not going to poison anything..if we leave, process everything, and come back in a week, will they disappear and never come back? How can we not take them with us to a place where we will temporarily move (for example, with a cat or clothes)?

Do you have a photo of the fiend? Although in any case, the SES here "rules" in my opinion.

Guys, please help
The computer desk and the computer itself stands to the right of the windowsill, when I sit sometimes I feel that something is crawling on my hand .
Fotat did not because just fotik does not take such a small picture
So according to the description, 1 mm is brown, sometimes slightly white, round, well, I also noticed that two antennae
Help out, how to expel them

I work as a cable guy in Balashikha (Moscow region).in the basement of one of the houses came across with a partner on insects very similar to African cave crickets, both in description and appearance.I took them on my phone.it's swarming with them.can they meet here?or can it be their relatives?anyone interested in seeing them here http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?ytsession...kOEJntef8Kd1yPw

Greetings!
the link to likely crickets doesn't work.

Recently moved into a new house. Made repairs. After a while, I noticed that small midges, no larger than 1 mm, were crawling on the walls and shelves in the toilet. They jump like fleas if you try to crush them. I thought they were fleas, but "my" insects have wings. Sometimes I meet them in the bathroom, but there are noticeably fewer of them.

Tell me, please, what kind of insects are these? Where could they have come from? And how to get rid of them? They do not bite and do not interfere much, but still it is not very pleasant to observe them in the house.

I found photos of them on the Internet, taken by some friend who has a similar problem. I couldn't find an answer to my questions. Here is the link to the image: http://diesel.elcat.kg/index.php?act=Attac...=post&id=144392
