anybody know what this could be? i live in romania (the bug is inside a math notebook square , for reference)
What insect did I found in my ramen? It looks like a big fly. I also checked the kimchi itself (which was also in my ramen) and found these 4 bugs. What are they? I´m located in Belgium.

I live in northwest Ohio and I found this on my bed. It definitely doesn’t look like a bed bug I don’t think.
We moved into this place in Dec and of course took pictures of everything including these bugs that seemed to look like small roaches. We sent the pictures to management and nothing was done about it. We didn’t see any active bugs but my sister started getting bites. No matter where we look (even now) we can’t find them on anything. We told management again and he put a sticky box down and caught a few. Turns out it’s bedbugs. We’ve never had them (I’m 29 and the youngest) so we have no idea what to do. We have a cat, will we need to throw away his cat three and other things that can’t go in a washer or is there a way to salvage it?? Sorry if this seems scattered I feel so gross
It's gotten worse. My roommates have started to notice and mentioned they were getting bit too. We have mice in the walls and started hearing them around where my bed sits. There's no holes in the walls in my room. But there are cracks around the window frame on the inside, there's water damage on the corners of the ceiling. I just feel itchy now thinking about it.
We've tackled mice problems, we've tackled roach problems, and now it's bird mites! 😖😖😖
This is what I got from one that I found on my chin a few minutes ago.
It stinged my friend, and her leg went numb and hurts a lot
Hi! I never really knew much about insects. I can't fully tell qhat an arthropod is either since english isnt my first language and most articles are written in it lol. Can anybody help?
Found in my bathroom.
Seek identified this lil dude as an Australian Black Field Cricket! But I found him in my home in California? Is this normal? Did Seek get this wrong? Thank you! :)
Just found this extremely small (my smaller-than-average finger next to it for reference) insect on my bed, at first I freaked out because I thought it was a bed bug but thankfully it wasnt.
Does anyone know what this one is and whether it is harmless or not?
My room is right in front of the garden and I left my window open quite often so I think that might be where it came from. I just moved 2 months ago, should I be worried about potential bed bugs?
Thank you very much for your help!!
Found him in our backyard and my son has put it into his bug catcher.
(Philippines) It has a tiny body then long like stem to the stinger
A couple of weeks back, I was in a school at about 7-8am. I felt a pain in my hand, and looked down, and there was a mosquito on my hand. Biting me.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture. BUT. It was a brilliant, shiny blue colour. VERY distinctive. Definitely bit me, and the bite has now scarred too. Just wondering what it could have been, as I now have a mystery illness lmao
Any help in identifying this insect? Found 2 in by blue tongue skinks vivarium. Tried reverse image but I'm not sure either found the right one. Pretty sure they can fly too.
Chillin on my balcony in FL and I spotted this lil dude— never seen anything like it before! Can anyone tell me what it is?
Beautiful pic I snapped today. Unfortunately, I think it might have been dead as it wasn’t moving :( Not sure if it got caught in the wire or what, but wanted to appreciate this beauty regardless!
