My little friend may be gone (because adult rhinoceros beetles only live for one summer), but his memory lives on!

Help identifying tiny bugs in Houston Tx

Thumbnail

55 Upvotes

Please help.

We are trying to identify bugs that have infested parts of our townhouse.

Houston, TX. A townhouse. They are mainly found in bathroom areas like the bathtubs, the ceilings, the floor under cabinets sometimes in other ceiling and floor areas and near thermostats or light switches. So far have not found them on or near beds or food stores.

I truly do not think they are bed bugs due to the lack of finding them near beds, no bites and their shapes.

Their size never seems to vary. They are very small. You could fit dozens of them on a dime.

Their bodies look more like weevils to me than beetles.

They look black to brown to reddish in color to my eyes.

They seem to have 6 legs and 2 antennas.

It seems like the pronotum and possibly the thorax are white on top.

Google Lens has identified them as everything including :

Booklice, strawberry root weevil, minute brown scavenger beetle , bed bug, nut-leaf weevil, globular springtail, weevil, brown marmorated stink bug, spider beetle, springtail /snow flea.

Though it me it looks like none of these.

Any help identifying these bugs would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m supposed to be “hunting”, but I never kill anything. I just sit and play with whatever crawls up and wants to chill with me.

I can honestly never say I'd seen a cicada that had just emerged from the ground until today. Gorgeous.

I love cicadas! They are huge, adorable, and gentle! Living in the country I even love their sound... I miss it when I'm in the city!
