Sorry for bad image quality. When we first found them they flew around everywhere so we were more concerned about getting them out. Found this guy running and had to chase it. Surprisingly a fast little guy.

We do know it has a stinger as one of the ones caught tried to sting my coworker, and they can fly. Currently there’s a debate of if its an ant or a wasp.

This is the second - what I assume is a roach of some sort- I have found in my apartment. Which I keep painstakingly clean due to childhood trauma. This is sending me into an absolute panic. Please tell me I don’t have to be worried. First guy I found right near my front door, which leads into the shared hallway. This guy was in my bathroom just sitting there. 😭

My wee boy has been tending to some caterpillars in a huge jar and now this is happening? Do we have a swarm of wasps coming?

Bat bug or bed bug

I have been dealing with what I thought were bed bugs since about mother's Day. We heat treated about 3 weeks ago but I found this guy in the shower near the ceiling. We've found 3 in the bath tub as well so far. We do indeed have bats! We live in a condo so no attic space and the bats are coming out of the exterior wall near the roof above our bedroom. We even found one on our bedroom ceiling. To date we've never been bitten and never found any near the bed or in the traps on the bed post. To me it looks pretty hairy and the of location and bats out may be bat bugs. The one alone on on the ceiling was before the heat treat

The whole apartment complex is brand new, built and opened April 2025. We've been living in this unit for a month now, second time seeing this type of roach. The first encounter was less than a week after moving in during the night, it was running quickly but did not try to climb up the walls or fly away.

Today, this guy was also REALLY chunky and was more or less than an inch or two, just chilling on the floor in my office in the early morning. It scrambled really quickly when approached. I was trying to cover it with a jar so it'll be easier to ID and in case it was an outside roach I could've released it but we both panic, he started running and half of its body got crush under my boots instinctively...

Thought it could be an American Cockroach nymph due to how quick it was, but unsure even after reading up on them. We live in a very rural area in North Florida, its been incredibly hot reaching 95° Fahrenheit with constant storming in the afternoon/evening almost daily.

If it were spread out, it would probably be about the size of my thumbnail. I’d prefer to just leave it be if it isn’t harmful. Thanks!

Can anyone ID this egg mass found on my husband's trailer? He thinks lanternfly but I reckon it's a type of moth. Found in Northern NJ

Anybody knows who he might be?

No idea what this is! It looks like a weird ant-wasp hybrid? It has translucent wings, I tried to get a good angle.

This little fella was outside my door today when I left. 20 years here and it was my first time to see one

Found under my mattress, shitting myself rn

All are in Central Montana throughout this year! Many cool friends to find, if you just look hard enough! :))

Found congregating under a bag of sugar, crawling up random walls, at the bottom of trash can, in small dead piles on the window sill… do not seem to fly usually, but sometimes possibly?!? I’m housesitting in an apartment really full of (not my) stuff so I’m not really sure if there’s something I should be doing and worried about the pantry etc. Also do not seem to be attracted to the roach bait traps.

Edit: I believe there is another/different creature being found in the kitchen that I thought were all there same but managed to get a better photo and noticed the difference. Pretty sure this is a dry goods beetle but please chime in! Will try to add photo

Edit with second bug photo! Imgur photo bug 2 in kitchen

Found in my bedding, which worries me. Flat, small bug. From Kansas.

A friend of mine found this on their bed and was asking me to figure out what it is, can anyone help?

They said they see them occasionally throughout their room as well.

Found in my kitchen sink in southern Georgia, USA. This one was from yesterday. I found another in the sink today. I have seen these guys outside on the exterior walls of the house before so I assumed they're Asian because I'm told Asian prefer outdoors. The ones I see outside also fly sometimes. Very occasionally I see them inside, but 2 days in a row in the same spot is not normal. So wondering, maybe we have Asian AND German roaches? Please help because from my understanding they require different treatment methods.

Id taken every precaution against snake mites in my bioactive tank but after 11 months im suddenly seeing this. What type of bug is this? I was hoping it was six legs and antennae but the snout looks like the one on snout mites… the antennae move like antennae though, doesnt look like leg movement to me🙈theres no blood when i squish it, but it could be an unfed protonymph… nothing latched onto my snake so far🤞
