Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Hello everyone 2nd day I observe this picture: sooo small yellowish (almost transparent) beetles are crawling on the windowsill, there are no wings, they don't jump, they just crawl back and forth, I killed 15 pieces, it seems quiet for now, but I understand that there is no way out, please tell me what it can be? I'll post photos if possible if the phone takes them (very small ones)

Hello!
Please help me identify these neighbors! Over the past month, I have occasionally met single copies in different corners of the apartment, then in the bathroom, then in the room and did not attach any importance. And yesterday I saw Them on the kitchen window in the amount of 30 pieces = (All caught on sticky tape. Today, during the day, I also caught 50 pieces =( If crushed, then a very strong, sharp and unpleasant smell. They themselves are about 2 millimeters in size, but I began to meet very small insects, about 1 mm in size-young people, it seems =(
What are these insects and how to deal with them? The apartment has a 4-month-old baby.

Hay eaters, podi (Psocoptera order). Alternatively - book hay eater-Liposcelis divinatorius.

This is someone from the Bethyloidea, small parasitic oskis. They are not dangerous for humans, they concentrate on the kitchen window because of its illumination, they want to go out.

Grigory, I will allow myself a small clarification for Bromiton (in order to avoid fright when reading the word "parasitic"): these oscs are parasitic on insect larvae (i.e., in a sense, even useful), so they can in no way harm either a child or an adult.

Thank you, Dmitrich. Sure. We're wild here... You write mechanically, you write, and people are imaginative.

Hello!
Please help me identify this midge. First they appeared in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Now they are flying all over the apartment. I don't know how to get rid of them. During the day they hide somewhere, at night they stop sleeping. They are always in the bathroom. Thank you in advance.

This is a completely harmless dipterous insect from the family of butterflies (Psychodidae). Well, to make it clear to you - a kind of small and non-biting "mosquito-midge". It is likely that your image shows a common butterfly (Psychoda phajaenoides). They often live in bathrooms and other areas with high humidity. The remedy is to reduce this humidity as much as possible. Although, in addition to the fact that people suffering from entomophobia, the appearance of these creatures is unpleasant, there is no other harm from them. It's even strange, why do they bother you to sleep?

Interestingly, some time ago, around the same period (September 29, 2009), I (in Moscow) in the apartment, and most of them in the bathroom (as a source of output?) And on the window (towards the light) I observed many similar (?) sedge, then on the forum I was told that it is from Chalcid.
It is interesting that I have their appearance coincided, or rather followed immediately, for the mass appearance of kozheedov-attaches Smirnov. And indeed, after a while the beetles stopped appearing, and before that they were in the mass. In the bathroom, they, like the beetles, were probably because there was an air vent clogged inside with dust, and perhaps the beetles fed on this dust inside the pipe, and flew out, as always, into the light. In the next two years, there was no mass release of skin-eating beetles, nor the subsequent appearance of sedges! It could be assumed that these oskis also parasitize this type of beetle, which is of great interest as a means of combating them. Although it might just be a coincidence.

I wonder what city Bromiton lives in?

Here is an old photo

In the photo, amara is really chalcid, and in Bromiton-betilid, this is clearly visible by the shape of the head. I will not say what the chalcides could have parasitized, but the betilids parasitize beetles, including synanthropic grinders - bread and tobacco, and are sometimes found in the mass. So Bromiton needs to check the stocks of plant raw materials-herbs, cereals, etc.

Thanks for the reply. They interfere by moving into the room, flying around at night and landing on the body. And this, as you understand, does not cause positive emotions.

Hello, dear ones! We have a problem! Insects have settled at home, they look like ants in their external structure, black, approximately 2-3 mm long, they barely saw their wings under a magnifying glass. If you press your finger down, your finger will stink for a long time and you won't wash it off. At home, someone bites, it is likely that these ants (there are no other insects), children are bitten, and so are we. Tell me pliz who is this and how to deal with it. Save me!

photo, at least the contours of the tel

Thank you for the science. I began to look in the net6 and found that there are also chalcidoid parasites on kozheedah. For example, the widespread Pachyneuron aphidis (Bouché, 1834) from the Pteromalidae.

Here there are photos of some European (?) species of this genus. I don't know if my oska is similar?

http://ponent.atspace.org/fauna/ins/fam/pt...yneuron_pte.htm

At my home this year, too, along the way with the "piece", like a small flour khrushchak, there were such small black pieces. There was no such thing before

here it looks like amara
in the photo.Who would say how to etch them, and then on our bed and the crib crawl((((((((((( me and the baby were bitten ((((((((

You should not poison them, they will leave on their own within two weeks.
In the meantime, just try to push.
They never bit me, by the way.
They parasitize other insect pests, and even benefit from them.
See if you have any beetles in your cereals.

there are a lot of them divorced, I used to see 1-2 a day, and now they are climbing into bed((( I'm worried about the baby,by the way,they have been with us for several months((((((
in cereals,like,there is nothing.
I drew all the houses with chalk from ants, so I sweep out their corpses for 50-100 pcs a day.
thank you.

Hello, insect experts!
A very big request is to identify who it is?.
We live in a private house. There were never any parasitic insects in the house. And suddenly such an attack. There was a feeling that someone was running on my skin. We found such small insects. They run fast, they don't know where they come from, and there's a click when they're crushed. But there are no bites, just an extremely unpleasant feeling that someone is running over you.The heads were checked - clean. Appearance does not depend on the time of day. We often find them during the day.At night, if you don't sleep, it also happens. Not tied to the bed. Of the animals, we have a dog in the yard and chickens ( chickens are 2 years old, we bought a cull from a poultry farm this spring ).And of course, there are a lot of mice in the garden, and they saw them in the chicken coop.
Caught, photographed as best they could, on a white sheet of paper. It's hard to take pictures, because it runs fast. Next to it to compare the size of your finger. I apologize for being dirty, my husband came home from work, did not even have time to wash his hands, as they found this beast.
We are in a quiet panic, on a nervous basis, everything began to itch. I would like to know what it is and how to fight it. Help!
Now we have made a major discovery for ourselves. After going to the chicken coop, we carefully examined my husband's clothes . A sea of these insects! So, really, from the chicken coop? But everything was fine all summer! But sparrows, and even larger birds, flew to the chickens in the aviary. Maybe they got infected?
I really ask for your help! Who is it and how to deal with it?

Like ticks. Maybe someone will tell you in more detail.

Thank you, I was already prompted on another forum that these are ticks. I would like to know where exactly and how to deal with them?

Well, from the chicken coop, as you said yourself. Apparently in the litter, garbage of all sorts divorced.
Check out the birds, and the chicken coop. If there is, then throw everything out, clean it, and pour boiling water over it... IMHO for people harmless.

Thank you, I also hope that they are harmless to people, but it's still unpleasant as ...
we'll process the chicken coop, turn the chickens into soup. And what to do at home? After all, they get caught, crawl. It seems to me that they climb on a warm body. Maybe a little bit, we'll catch it on ourselves, click it? They don't seem to bite, just crawl.

Dermanyssus gallinae?

It is better, of course, to take a bunch of samples to the nearest sanitary and epidemiological laboratory, because in case of confirmation, you need to have a good treatment there. And where do you live?

But then again, I'm not an expert, just an amateur.

You are the main thing, do not panic. Everything will be fine.

Who needs live larvae of the juno bulb-eating fly from the foothills of the Syrdarya Karatau? I'll give it to you. In Moscow.

Damn, I'm in Donetsk! Yuri, there is no photo? Most likely, these are babblers from the Eumerini tribe. And 99% are not yet known to science. The ideal option is to grow up to an adult, imperfect - at least in 70-degree alcohol and give it to the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University to Ozerov or Shatalkin, dipterologists, for storage at least, I will then "help out" the material.

Yuri, otake?

Well, yes, as the second approximately. I wrote to your email address.

Yuri, I am very grateful!

Hello! In our bathroom, and then in the rooms and even in the bed linen, white small (up to one and a half centimeters) insects appeared. They crawl quickly, bend in all directions, and if you crush them, they get very wet. They are narrow at both ends, with the abdomen in the middle. Tell me who they are and how to lime them, please. You can't take a picture - they run away into the cracks between the wall and the floor, under the bathroom.

Hello!
At home, I found a creature (like, in a single copy) that resembles a millipede flycatcher. 2-3 cm, long paws, whiskers, crawls quickly. And the question would not have been, if not for one THING: exactly from the moment I noticed THIS, every night huge bites began to appear all over my body in huge numbers. They swell up like bee or wasp bites, itch wildly, and take a long time to heal. And really, 10 bites a night! A nightmare, in a word. Other insects than tiny gray spiders and small midges were not seen, but everywhere they write that flycatchers usually do not bite a person. There are no other suspects except for the terrible multi-legged creature, so I want to ask: if this is not a flycatcher, then who, and if a flycatcher, then why does the whole family bite only me and with such wild intensity.
* Note: I was never allergic to bites.

They crawl quickly, bend in all directions, and if you crush them, they get very wet. ... If you can't take a picture, they run away

So press down a little so that you don't run around and take pictures. How can I tell without a photo?
It?

exactly from the moment I noticed THIS, huge bites began to appear all over my body every night

Flycatchers of course lived in your house and before you noticed them People they do not bite
Bites can belong to (for example) bed beetles or ticks.

Bed linen is light, bedbugs would be noticeable. In addition, the bites are not like that at all. A tick? I mean, who lives in pillows? Are there any other options?

As long as I remember from my experience with bedbugs, they were never in bed. They hide in different crevices, under wallpaper, under the baseboard, etc.
Ticks can crawl from pigeons, for example. Do pigeons live somewhere nearby?

Good day!
Please tell me what kind of bug is this? There is such an instance. I do not want further reproduction.

Kozhed? Something like Attagenus?

More like a grinder. But I can't make out which one. Shake cereals, dried fruits, spices, etc.

Good day!

Help me figure it out! Found at home, in the pantry of this (pictured) beetle, in old things, or rather in an ordinary T-shirt. I've never seen one like this before, I can't imagine where it came from or what it eats there, since there's nothing edible there, at least for people))) Moves slowly and constantly wants to hide in the same T-shirt)))

Not that he would bother me, but I wonder who it is and whether it's worth worrying about???
Thank you very much in advance

If you don't grow thistles at home, then there's nothing to worry about. This is the weevil Larinus turbinatus most likely.

Voronezh, today, I live on the 5th floor, I found in the toilet on a roll of paper some small creature running fast, while I was catching it, I crushed it, I ask for help in determining, at least ...
