What are these tiny bugs? (SW Florida)
On vacation down in SW Florida and we seem to have these little obnoxious bugs all over the house. I feel like I’ve been itchy but no obvious bug bites. Fleas? Some type of gnat?
This video is the best I can do to get them on camera.

Beetle bro fell out of the sky the other night and nearly landed on me
Prionus californicus, commonly known as the California root borer.
I'm not normally alarmed by bugs, but when a big unit like this falls out of the sky, it'll make you jump.

Ants have begun to appear in our apartment, should we be worried? What to do?
Recently we started seeing these ants in our apartment (4th floor) and it's really bothering my wife. Idk if it's something we are doing wrong? (We are planing on giving the house a very deep clean to try and dissuade them from our home). Or if they are an invasive species of ants.
I personally just want to know what kinds of ants these are, I haven't seen these stripes on their butts before.

Some type of worm
I stepped in some dog shit as I took a walk in a grassy area and noticed when I got home but noticed loads of worms crawling in the shit I was wondering what they could be and if they are invasive or stuff like that or if I should disinfect my whole room?
