Am I going crazy?

I swear I keep finding what looks like hairs but they are moving. It’s been spaced out over 6 months. I don’t know if I’m just going crazy, but for reference there could be multiple and all are still and one is moving. Located in Australia. Two dogs if it could be anything related to dogs.

What type of mite?

Mites in bathroom in Arizona. What is this?? This is under a hand held microscope. I’ve seen 1-3 on the bathroom floor for months. For visual… the red circle is around the mite. That’s how small it is. It is visible to the naked eye though and they’re always a tan color.

Are these bees? In Maine

I haven’t seen a guard posted, and have actually seen a bald-faced hornet enter the hive, presumably for a snack. Any idea what these guys might be? I only see one every 10 min or so. They’re a little less than the diameter of a quarter in length, from what I can tell. A bad-quality photo in comments 😅

Freaking Out

Found in mattress flap (Ohio). Nothing else was found. Not debris or more bugs. I had a bed bug infestation over a year ago at an old apartment. We threw away everything when we moved and this mattress was not at the old apartment. We have 2 cats. The thing is super tiny and flat.

Say it ain’t so

My GF found this today. We leave for vacation on Friday.

Edit: I have very intense OCD around infestations, Bed Bugs being one of my biggest fears. I need to know if it is unrealistic to resolve this before Friday. I straight up will not let my GF into my house if I’m not confident it’s safe. I will cancel the trip. Please, if I get bedbugs it will send me into a month long spiral

What is this bug?

Found this in my car today, kind of feeling out! I found a dead bug tried grabbing it and this is the piece that stayed in my hand, the rest fell to the ground and I didn’t find it. I think the bug was like brown. It was dried up so couldn’t really tell what it was. Live in Massachusetts

Brooklyn, NY based - any one know what this is?

I found this on my bed when I was changing sheets. Im not sure if it’s a bed bug or something else? Didn’t see any signs of bed bugs on the mattress but want to be sure... I unfortunately couldn’t get a super clear photo for some reason, but I’ve included a video.

Edit: I think it may be a hump beetle, does that seem right?

Is this ectobius pallidus?

We have been seeing scattered roaches here, maybe 3-4 over the last month. I have posted before but this is a female I believe. We are in southern maine.

Is this a tick?!

We live in Norway- our area gets ticks in the summer and we live close to the woods. Is this a tick on our wall???
(We flushed it down the toilet to be safe)

u/ANG3LSD3ATH — 1 day ago

In Southeastern Massachusetts, is this a kind of tick? He was on my finger and was there for roughly 30 seconds, but I flicked him off pretty easily?

Still js felt like I should ask

Decent sized spider in my house, caught it after pushing with plastic knife and putting a cup over it; located in Indiana Lafayette area

I do want to release it, but if it is venomous I won't be able too as a lot of pets and small kids in this area are outside oftenly, with me living in a duplex and having two kids as a neighbor

Just moved into first house. What bug is this?

Husband and I are renting our first house and prior to this we were in an apartment that became infested with cockroaches.
We were finally able to find a house we could afford however this place does have a carpet beetle problem.
Also, while cleaning the shower I found this bug on the shower wall. I don’t think it’s a carpet beetle. I placed it onto a Clorox lid and have been trying to identify it but can’t find anything it matches.
Really worried it’s a cockroach. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
We are located in Washington state.

Found on couch in the Toronto, Canada area

Extremely small, apologies for the blurry picture. I’m positive it’s not a bedbug (let’s hope), but hadn’t seen an insect like this before. TIA
