Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

If you live on the first floors of the house - rats in the basement. If on the upper floors-see your animals (dogs, cats). Without "warm-blooded food", they will die. As soon as this "warm-blooded food" dies (for example, a rat in the basement), fleas begin to run away from it and look for new "prey".

The top post was mine. In continuation: this is how people used to get infected with the plague from dead rats through fleas. Fleas themselves are not contagious, but insects, but they spread the contagion that lurks in rats.

The whole joke is that no one lived in this apartment for a whole year.
Then they made repairs there.
Then we moved in. On the second day, they started biting us. By the way, the pimples are gone but the marks on the skin are still there
I bought flea powder from a pet shop, sprinkled it on the floor everywhere, and left for the weekend.
Ugh ugh ugh, the bastards stopped bothering me.

So sho, xs where are they from there.

If in the legs - then fleas are most likely.

And in the bed - bedbugs most likely. Cimex lectularius (bedding) or avian. They only bite unprotected parts of the body. They can't do it through their clothes. They usually live in the sofa and under the wallpaper at floor level. Maybe you can collect a handful of live ones for Moscow entomologists?

Maybe an ant can also sting pharaohs, I've experienced it several times.

Insect expert:
Where did you find this ant?" Does he run with us? I only know about 1 species of stinging ants, but they live somewhere in the southern United States..

Fleas are very small, not easy to spot. If it sits on the body, it looks like something small and black
They usually live in carpets, often together with larvae (larvae also live in dirty places).

The Pharaoh ant Monomorium pharaonum is a synanthrope that lives in heated rooms (houses, greenhouses, boiler rooms, etc.)
In fact, all ants in the family have a sting. Myrmicinae, for example. And all of them can sting with varying success. Our European mirmiki can sting so much that you will jump "Tested on yourself"

Thank you for answering in my place. And I found them in my panel house, although it was 7-10 years ago. Now everyone has been poisoned and no one is here. And earlier, the nest was formed in a day, for example, under the trash can under the sink, and the nest with eggs, larvae and queens!!! And this is not in a homeless apartment, but in a normal, human bath under the tile how many nests he destroyed himself, it's scary to remember.

Yes, I once had these ants. Creepy business, cockroaches are resting. It is very difficult to remove them, they often settle in the ceilings. And they can get in anywhere and eat anything. If they get to the terrariums - in general seams

Thank
you for making horror movies (documentaries)
And what types specifically? I would like to see it on the Internet, otherwise I don't want to run into it in the future

I posted a photo of Pharaoh ants on the site: http://entomology.ru/main_menu/news/20040120.htm For fleas, see the ZIN website: http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Siphonaptera/index_r.htm

Microscopic white insects appeared in the kitchen-they just look like white dots. They crawl very quickly, despite their size, over everything that is in the kitchen-dishes, table, drawers, etc. They practically do not drown in the water, but they do not swim either. To see with the naked eye, you need to look very closely. I even took a training microscope to take a closer look at this "beast". It is not possible to take a picture-they are very small, and with a 10x magnification in a microscope, you can see something like a beetle, an oval body, a small head, eight legs with hairs, longer hairs in the form of a tail, and 2-3 medium-length hairs on each side of the body.
I tried to poison with dichlorvos-zero emotions, they die only where the drug is directly applied. After the dichlorvos is eroded, they crawl back.
HELP ME IDENTIFY THEM, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!

Ticks (8 legs if)...?

Undoubtedly, ticks and, most likely, spider mites. Either skidding with plants, or mass brood on their own indoor plants.

there are no traces of the spider mite on the plants, as well as its own..yes, and according to the pictures that I saw, my tick does not look like a spider mite at all ((

People this is a common flycatcher!!!
The common flycatcher (Scutigera coleoptrata)is a millipede from the order of lipopod flycatchers. An adult flycatcher reaches 2-3 centimeters, has a thin body and 15 pairs of long legs and long antennae. There are three black stripes along the entire length of the body; there are also black stripes on the legs.

The flycatcher is a predatory animal that feeds on insects (in particular, cockroaches and termites), arachnids, and other small animals. Flycatchers kill their prey by injecting venom and then eating it. Due to their ability to destroy insects, flycatchers are considered very useful animals, but many destroy them because of their unpleasant appearance. However, in some southern countries, on the contrary, they are protected.

The common flycatcher often settles in apartments. The flycatcher does not cause any harm to food or furniture. It is not capable of stinging humans (its mandibles are too weak to pierce human skin), but if it did, the consequences would be no more serious than from a small bee sting. Also, the bite of a flycatcher can not cause serious harm to a dog, cat or other large animal.

Flycatchers are found in the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Mediterranean countries and other countries with hot climates, in particular, in India.

Flycatchers are very nimble and run fast. During sunny hours, they hide under a rock, in a crevice, and so on. Flycatchers prefer wet places, so they are often found in basements, bathrooms, and toilets, although they can be found in any room. They are most often found in the spring, when they come out of their shelters due to warming, and in the fall, when a cold snap forces them to seek shelter in a human dwelling.

Mating in flycatchers occurs by the male laying a lemon-like spermatophore in the presence of the female, after which the male pushes the female onto the spermatophore. The female picks up the spermatophore with her sexual appendages. In the common flycatcher, on average, the female lays about 60 eggs. Newborn flycatchers have only 4 pairs of legs. With each molt, they get a new pair of legs. Common flycatchers live 3-7 years.

Other flycatchers live in the tropics, have shorter legs and do not settle in apartments.

Uh, friends! Are you serious, or where?
Can't tell an insect from a centipede? Or is this, like, a joke?

Yeah, we kind of can't
And those who except Lepisma saccharinum from this group do not know anyone-they can, but it is wrong and it remains without definition...

If this is not Lepisma sacharina (which is really not very similar to what is depicted in the photo), then it may still be Thermobia domestica, which is much less common.

Well, you give, guys! Are you kidding me? Of course, this is Termobia, there can be no doubt about it! From the order Thysanura (Zygentoma) of the superorder Bristletail.
And legtails and other cryptojawed insects are still insects, because the name Hexapoda, which unites cryptojawed and postmandibular insects, was already interpreted in the 19th century as a synonym for the Insecta class. This is already in the middle of the 20th century, Sharov and his like-minded people made sense, and now the skrytochelyustny ones are again "restored to their rights"

Vooot! Already warmer To the Zver family is determined correctly...

Your word ?

Well, I don't have many words: Family Lepismatidae. And then I do not know

And they are predatory! That's what one of them did, horror!!

Does he eat a dead goldeneye? I don't think she could have caught it alive. This is not predation.

He eats dead meat, of course. But the plot is cool - I was very surprised at first.

Of course, I also think that it was not she who "chewed" Goldeneye, but this is not a fact for me, I do not know what abilities the scaly girl has.
In the evening, the room usually gets a lot of all sorts of animals because of catching on the light, and by morning all this settles down and freezes, but all remain alive. So in the morning, before sunrise, I saw this picture when I turned on the light.
The only thing that could kill the golden-eyed steatode, which is enough for the ears, and the scaly one pulled it out of the web, but it's also not folding.

Rather, goldeneye wasn't finished by someone else, and scalefish picked up the leftovers

I live in Barnaul and periodically meet in my apartment on the 5th floor this insect is 4-5 centimeters long, they run very fast, have a lot of long legs and long whiskers. Maybe someone knows how to get rid of them, than to poison??? Because they look terrible, the hair on the body stands on end when I see it... brrr.. But I would never have thought that such southern insects would be introduced in Siberia, and soon the scorpions will come crawling..

apparently not an insect, but a millipede-flycatcher. poison makes no sense, they are predators, they will save you from flies and cockroaches

Funny... There was already a topic about flycatchers: "Identify an insect... and istribit"!
Poor flycatchers! And what did they do - they were harmless creatures! And cool...

  The other day I found small (3mm) insects in my apartment. Some of them got used to the wool carpet, others I saw on the walls and ceilings and even under the baseboards. They do not look like bedbugs(there is no characteristic smell when pressed and judging by the photos on the Internet (those are flat), and these are in the form of a drop.And they do not move very cheerfully, maybe they (bedbugs) are divided into varieties???
The smell can be not only in herbivorous bedbugs, i.e. just crushed the wrong one....Help us determine what kind of insects they are and whether they are harmful.

Strange thing, though... In the last photo, you can see that it seems to have 10 legs. But there's something in front that looks very much like a mustache. Since it can't be any crustaceans, it may be that the first one is not legs, but something like pedipalps, and this is then a tick. But something is generally strange. But it doesn't look like a bug at all.

Not really. there are shadows from 3 pairs of legs and antennae. So it's an insect. It looks like the larva of herbivorous bedbugs, but they do not live in carpets... What does it do? Does it bite? What do they eat? More details would be desirable. Can I have a lighter photo?

(and there are 40 thousand species of bedbugs in the world...; and all insects-under 1 million species...)

It is similar to the mock beetles of the genera Mezium (pubescent pronotum) or Gibbium (naked pronotum). May harm flour and grain products, spices, etc.

yes, very similar! See here:

And where is the apartment with carpets and baseboards?
