Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

hello.
Please tell me how to deal with these flying things, appeared after repairs, live mainly in the toilet. Isn't it called the butterfly house?
Thank you in advance

Yes, these are real butterflies, you don't need to fight them, they are harmless and will disappear by themselves if the humidity drops.

Thank you very much. So dichlorvos won't help...

It will help, of course, but is it worth poisoning yourself?

Happy holidays to all!

A midge suddenly appeared in the house in the middle of winter. Actively reproduces, interferes strongly: then he dives into a cup of tea, then starts running around on his hand. Near the window every day a new cemetery of these insects. Everything has been checked and cleaned, but it is not getting any smaller. Fruits are all in the refrigerator, there are no onions in them, tea and cereals are securely closed.

Please tell me what it is and how to deal with it?

It's hard to see, but drosophila in my opinion. In flower pots, they can still be.

well, yes, these are some fruit flies, but they are not very similar to the fruit flies themselves (although I may be mistaken).

of the flowers - only geraniums. and where it stands - they are almost nonexistent. yes, it seems that they are not big fans of geraniums.

I also think not drosophila, other some.

In my opinion, after all, one of their types or something close.

Check the trash can. Very much these organisms love this place, especially when it (the bucket) is not taken out of the house for a long time...

inspect indoor flowers-pests may have settled on them

They appear to be humpback flies (Phoridae). Here is the Wiki quote (original style and errors preserved):

"The lifestyle of humpbacks is very diverse. Larvae of many species are specialized predators, some eat the eggs of sawflies, caddis flies, spiders, root aphids, larvae of fruit mosquitoes, gall-forming aphids. Many are parasites or symbiotes of social insects, particularly termites and ants, as well as bees, wasps, and millipedes. Larvae of some humpback species feed on plants or live fungi. There are also a large number of species whose larvae eat rotting material, some of which develop only on fungi or dead shellfish. Among humpbacks, there are many polyphages, for example, the species Megaselia scalaris and Dohrniphora cornuta, which are able to feed on both living and dead vegetation, detritus (including corpses), manure, milk, dead insects, in the intestinal and urinary tracts of humans, in bee colonies. They are parasites of ants that attack and lay eggs under their skin.Adult flies feed most often on plant juices. "

there are practically no flowers at home. there are a few geraniums in the room where they (midges) are not.
we seal the garbage in a bag and throw it away every day.

appeared (which is amazing!) at the end of November.

is there anything you can do to poison them?"

You can, but you need to find a habitat for the larvae. With adult flies, you can try to fight with mosquito plates, but I doubt the result. More effective means, such as spraying dichlorvos, I do not recommend-flies do not harm you personally, but your personal health will decrease.

About six months ago, a squadron of these creatures started up in the room:

Please tell me what it is, what it is, and how to get rid of it?

I forgot to add that they are slightly smaller than a match head and don't seem to be interested in people yet.

These are small diptera, from one of the families of fungal mosquitoes, most likely Mycetophilidae. Usually in homes, they are bred in pots with indoor plants, where their larvae feed in rotting plant remains-especially if there is wet and rotting deciduous earth in the earth mixture. Or the roots are rotting. Provokes their appearance and excessive watering. Neither adults nor larvae are dangerous for an earthling. If they are just tired (circling in a crowd), you can either transplant plants with the removal of rot, or, after drying, shed a lump of insecticide (non-smelly). If you don't have any plants, look for rotting plant remains.

No, these are their close relatives-Sciaridae. Almost certainly from pots with indoor plants, it happens that the purchased land (soil) is already infected with them.

Ah, the sciarids... The English also call them "fungus gnats". Can mycetophilides be used in pots? Andrey, how did you distinguish from this photo sciarida mycetophilida-and then I'm not a specialist in long sawyers...?

I don't know much about diptera, especially since I deal with their parasitoids, but I have a specialist nearby. Sciarids have quite a characteristic wing venation - this" parabolic " fork Rs, well, the whole habitus speaks for them, I had to see enough of them in training camps with Malaise traps. Sciarid larvae feed on the mycelium of fungi, while there are quite a few mycetophilid species that develop in the fruit bodies of fungi. In my opinion, both of them are combined now in Sciaroidea

Yes, Sciaroidea.

Isn't this one of these by any chance?

No, he is much closer - a fellow dipterologist is sitting in the same room with me at work, a specialist in Mycetophilidae

I find them in bed, under the carpet, and under the baseboard.
They crawl slightly wriggling. What are they called?

leatherworm larvae

thank you

Help!

I found whole herds of some insects at home.
Ramer from an incredibly small point (you can notice if you bend almost nose-first to the floor and blink without moving) to 1-1. 5 mm. They move quickly, even those that are the size of a dot.
The larger the darker, the largest individuals are light brown in color.
The smaller the more transparent.
Very easy to crush, just touch it.
Large individuals can jump 1-2 cm at the approach of a finger.
Found under the kitchen, under and near wooden baseboards.
They have already been found in almost all rooms, but only in places associated with open untreated wood (the floor is a treated beam, and the skirting boards are old, dried up and not processed).
And another thing: they are very difficult to see because of their small size, but it seems that large individuals have small wings.

How and how to withdraw them?

There can be up to 100 of them under the kitchen section!!!

most likely these are legtails

I looked up nogohvostok in Google, link below.
After all, they look more like flies to me, not worms or beetles.
They look like little flies. But they only crawl and jump

without a photo, you can hardly say exactly

this is a fortune-telling on coffee grounds. "the car is black, big, shiny, drives fast"

What should I do to avoid guessing?

I'll try to get a better camera tomorrow and shoot it...

Help!

Now with photos and updates.

Very easy to crush, just touch it. But when the finger approaches, they jump away, so you need to push very sharply.
Large individuals can jump 2-4 cm at the approach of a finger.
Found under the kitchen, under and near wooden baseboards.
They have already been found in almost all rooms, but only in places associated with open untreated wood (the floor is a treated beam, and the skirting boards are old, dried up and not processed).
And another thing: they are very difficult to see because of their small size, but it seems that large individuals have small wings.
They are afraid of the light, you turn off the light in the kitchen, you leave-they all crawl out and crawl on the floor, you turn them on - after 3 minutes they can only be found at the baseboards.

How and how to withdraw them? I just tried Dichlorvos-zero reaction, only dies if you directly flood it, the tick repellent helps a little better, but you need a more effective remedy.

Under the kitchen section, there can be up to 400 of them!!!

Hay eaters. Look in the topics "Who is this" and similar - they have already written about it a hundred times.

Thanks!

Caught today in the sink, we see this for the first time.
Dense, tenacious, crawls quickly, moves his mustache mysteriously. In the photo next to the toothpick, for scale. Please tell me who it might be.

Weevil beetle (or elephant beetle, family Curculionidae).

Thank you very much!
I read about weevils. I understand that they are harmless to humans, eating only garden and fruit crops?
That is, is it an accident and a rarity that he entered the apartment?

And in what city, if it's not a secret?

Just for that - yes, randomness. I can't identify the species from the photo, but I can only assume that your bug is from the extensive subfamily Entiminae. It definitely does not apply to pests of food stocks.

Well, Dmitritch, I expected more from you. It's a good thing they didn't say it was a bug.

Just kidding of course, I hope I didn't offend. I myself am very interested in what kind of person he is.

I read about "Entiminae", and I see that you are quickly"corrected".
