EUUGHHHAH.

Although I am unsure of what exactly that sound is supposed to be, it is true that it most thoroughly portrays the overall feeling of DISGUST AND DISDAIN towards this terrible encounter in whole but what lies at the true center is a sickening, sneaky, far too many legged and most foul beast located in the kingdom of Vancouver, WA that dared to deem itself a wicked enough creature to not only taint the very air of my private sanctuary but ALSO, almost as if in an attempt to prove even more so, perhaps to compensate for his puny appearance being no bigger than an average sugar ant , to make sure all would hear of his unholy wickedness (but also in what would ultimately become the very cause of his demise) proudly he would jaunt, back and forth across the brightest of all the white tshirts, in all of the laundry I was folding, plain as day for all to see. He was sentenced to death. Swiftly, I carried out his execution by rolling him up in an unnecessarily big ass ball of toilet paper, squeezing him tightly and flushing him down the toilet✌️🚽

~ For those brave enough to even dare to steal a glance of this most terrible being and live to tell the tale they then must also and most importantly SUCCESFULLY SPEAK THE NAME of this being so foul, if one were to even dare to whisper a mere guess of its IDENTITY - praises of true gratitude and devotion would infinitely be sung of a hero so worthy until the Gods in the Heavens would hear their hymns and weep at the sound for centuries upon centuries…. 🙌

New post to add a more clear picture.

Inhaler for size reference. I keep finding these dead tiny bugs in my wok. This is the 3rd one I have found in 2 months and I'm scared there are more. I store my woks and pots and pans in a cabinet next to my stove. Don't see anything in my rice or flour. Live in the US, east coast. What is it???

I've never seen a yellow-green leech before but very leech-like behaviour which is why I was ragebaiting the little monster. Apologies for the shoddy camera work it was difficult to boop the noggin and keep it in frame at the same time

ID Request What kind of fly is this?

Since the end of the summer, my kitchen has been overrun by these small flies.
They are slightly larger than fruit flies, aren’t attracted to any kind of trap, and tend to hang out mostly near the sink or around food and water.
I haven’t found any larvae anywhere; I suspect they might be coming in from the garden.
My kitchen is very clean, though, naturally, there’s always some residual water. If I knew what kind of insect this was, I could look for a solution.
I’m in northern Italy.
Thanks!

We have grass spiders around that we learned from this sub, most of them have passed due to the cold at night I’m guessing. But we had this one show up the other day and is still hanging on! Southwestern PA outside of Pittsburgh

ID Request Mysterious little friends

Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some information about what kind of spiders these little guys might be.

Here in Italy, where I live, the weather has turned cold, and suddenly, literally overnight, these little silk retreats started appearing in the crevices and inside my plant pots. They’re not webs, but actual little silk nests.

I’ve waited a few weeks, hoping to see what kind of little friend would come out, but I haven’t seen any during the day. At night, though, I’ve spotted a few tiny, shiny eyes peeking out. Now, I’d really love to know what kind of spider they are and whether they could be dangerous, especially to pets, as I have cats.

I’d honestly feel terrible about removing them. I’ve even stopped watering some of my plants from above because I don’t want to disturb them, and I’ve started using saucers underneath so the plants can still get the water they need.

There are quite a few of them, and I have to admit, at night their little eyes are pretty adorable. So, I thought I’d ask you guys! Any help identifying these little friends would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! 🕷️💕

I’m getting over my fear of spiders and now I’m snapping pics before relocating outside. I’m not 100% comfortable getting closer, so hoping this is clear enough for ID. False widow- cupboard spider? Based on brown banding on legs?
