I know they have a painful pinch, it chose not to. It did choose to release some oil though, and it definitely smells like sour milk. I released it outside so that it may continue its search for caterpillars.
Last year I moved into my current rental in the city. The previous tenant seemed to not be very cleanly because we had a huge fruit fly problem the second we moved in. The fridge and freezer would be full of dead or asleep ones every day and night no matter how much I cleaned them out and cleaned the fridge. We ended up getting a new fridge which basically solved the problem from what I remember.
Fast forward to today, we are starting to see a good amount of fruit flies again. I’ve been doing the dishes and keeping things mostly clean. I seriously cannot handle another situation like we had last year, it made my fear of bugs and infestations sky rocket.
Anyways, the whole reason I started this post is bc i just got finished doing my dishes and looked up and my ceiling and notice bugs and what looks like a big fly in my light dome thingy, do you think they are breeding in there?!?!?
Found over the weekend out in my garden.

I'm not requesting ID, these folks are regularly in my yard.
Edit: its a seed, not an insect.
Hi, i live in northern Europe. Due to the current heatwave, we had to open our windows to let the air in. Many insect and elements entered our lovely home. However, i have found these things flying around. They look lifeless and harmless. Im guessing they’re an insect of some sort, what kind? And if it is, whats the best way to get rid of them? Hope anyone can help me figure this out
Resting on the chicken coop this morning.
