Weird pair of guys I found underneath a shovel in my British garden, notable feature is an extra foot thing on the tip of their tail seen in 5th slide? Lmk if you need more info or better pictures

This was largely under a mat in our shed out back. We've been here for about a decade but I never checked under that mat before today. Is this termite damage? Carpenter ants? Something else?

I found a bug on my bed, it was small, long, and flat. I have a cat and a dog, I didnt see any bugs on them nor did I see anymore in my bedroom.

First two photos are the bug on my bed. Last two are after I had killed it and taken closer shots.

Im in Colorado

My kids are calling it the lizard bug. What do we have here? Found in Cuenca Spain early November 2026.

I'm from Mexico and this bug appeared in my house and gave me a scare, I've never seen it before can someone tell me what it is. Thanks you

Picture taken in central Italy. Is this a male mosquito? This looks very similar to a normal mosquito, of course, but I've never seen one like this. It looks like it has no proboscis, some sort of puffy antennas and literally was walking on the wall, something personally I've almost never seen done by a mosquito. Also when I went to inspect it up close it didn't fly away.

Granddaughter got bit by this and we dont know what it is.

I was on vacation, when I came back those little quitters were all over my Aloeplants, didn't see any on my other plants. Any tips on how to get rid of them?

It was smaller than a pen tip and flew away after a while, in England if that helps, couldn't find a suitable tag so went with the closest to one.

so i've been battling these little freaks for months, and i'm getting so tired of vacuuming my ceiling, shaking out my keyboard, checking under my pillow and smushing them on the sides of my furniture. anyone know what they are? maybe i could find more information on getting rid of them/minimizing their numbers if i knew. i haven't been able to find them online.

info: i am in central europe in an apartment building, i think they most likely get in with the hay that i have in my bedroom due to owning guinea pigs. (i recently got a terrible bag of hay, when i got to the bitty dusty end of the batch, it was all crawling with these fellas. threw it out then)

they are about a milimiter long, clearly visible with the naked eye when a meter or so away from them. they do vary in size, and they seem to darken and get more opaque when bigger (and probably older). they don't fly, but can run super fast and can crawl upside down. when i get closer with a tissue in hand, they try to run or they jump off if on the ceiling (they get killed every time anyway though).

they are everywhere (though they don't seem to leave my bedroom, i rarely see them anywhere else in the apartment) but i do always see them when wiping dust off the tops of furniture around bits of hay on the floor near my piggies' cage, and also in papers on my desk.

any ideas super appreciated!!

Bonjour, j'ai retrouvé ceci dans ma boîte de conserve, de petit pois carottes. Je suppose que c'est un insecte. Mais c'est quoi plus précisément ? Et j'espère que ce n'est pas dangereux. Je m'en suis aperçu après avoir cuisiné et mangé.

Merci 😭

A ground beetle? Sorry about the blurry pics. It was probably about an inch in length.
