Help me identify it

Dear experts, please tell me what kind of animals are attacking the apartment and us?!!
IMG_2721.JPG
The first time I noticed them was about two months ago, but I didn't immediately attach any importance to them: there are also woodlice and scales. Now we find these animals up to a dozen a day. They are 6-8 mm in size, sometimes 10 mm.

If you press it lightly (usually with clothes, I took it with my finger to my hand for the experiment), they bite. My daughter is particularly affected. When bitten, immediately a strong burning sensation, an hour and a half later redness, a blister (twice the size of a mosquito) and a terrible itch. If crushed, the smell is rotten, like a sore tooth.

Help us understand who they are, what they eat, where they usually live, and whether they are dangerous to humans.

nobilis, you would at least write down where all these events take place...

Who knows what you've got in the Kuiper Belt?

It looks like some kind of membrane; it looks like a wingless wasp like a German wasp - or a flyless queen ant.

Bethylidae is most likely Sclerodermus domesticum. Do not bite and sting, because wasps. I would be concerned about what they eat at your place. Usually these are beetles-grinders-the scourge of everything wooden. In some ways, these wasps are beneficial. So I recommend not to touch them, anyway, until you remove the beetles, do not fight.

They perfectly parasitize on the larvae of the tobacco grinder, and it attacks not the tree, but the stocks, first of all, the stocks of medicinal herbs, I ate yarrow and nettle especially well)

Thank you very much to everyone who responded!
My daughter went to bed with a "calm conscience", although she stopped being afraid
. Special thanks to ENO!!!

I'm not going to sleep now, though: the sharpener beetles have bothered these wasps more.

Once again, a low bow to all of you.

Similarly. I ate dried grass like ivan-tea, and in bags.

It looks like a very bad micro-drug.
