What is this bug? Found the little guy chilling on my arm.

They’re smaller than a grain of rice, and seemed to be biting me or something. Left a small red spot where it was. Reminded me of a mosquito/ tick sort of? If it helps I have pets if this is a pet thing. Also I’m in southern/ mid central USA if it helps identify the little guy.

Small reddish mite on plants

I found a lot of these tiny mites on my indoor cacti. They're a reddish translucent colour with a black dot on their abdomen. As far as I can tell they don't seem to be eating the green flesh of the plant but do seem to be eating the fruit the plant produces as that is where they are concentrated. Any idea what these could be and if they could possibly be damaging the plants? Located in Ontario, Canada. Thank you!

Help! Small flying bugs in bathroom

These guys came out for like two days after a rain - they fly around in our master bathroom upstairs. They don’t seem to be doing anything like bouncing on windows, going to water or food, etc. They are small enough to go through a screen so maybe that’s how they got in.

I thought they were ants but maybe it’s some type of parasitic wasp? This is in MN.

Probably 4-5mm in length.

Thank you!

Thing in MANCHESTER UK. I did not know Things like this even exist in MANCHESTER UK

This thing, from MANCHESTER UK, looks yellow with shiny silver spots on its back. I feel like it is one of those Things that will hurt you if you touch it.

I did not touch the Thing.

The Thing was just on the pavement moving, with a ladybird behind it.

I *do* know what a ladybird (ladybug) is.

found what looked like maggots on my floor late saturday night, was sick all day monday, and when i went to clean this morning found these… eggs? they aren’t droppings because i crushed one and pinkish/orangeish white goo oozed out. how screwed am i

i already felt disgusting enough that i wasn’t able to deep-clean the moment i saw the maggots. this is so disgusting and humiliating. i can’t find any id for what bug this is, will cleaning be enough or should i get some chemicals? i’m on disability and probably can’t afford to hire someone :(

edit to add i’m in england

Is this a flea, a tick, a bed bug?

I know this is a long shot due to the horrible quality pictures, but I found this tiny bug near a door that leads outside. I tried squashing it but after pulling away the tissue to see if I could get a better picture it seemingly jumped.

Finding these small black bugs randomly around house, about half the size of a regular black ant

About half the size of a black ant, was generally found in kitchen/living room on floor, but found a few on kitchen counter. They don't swarm or moven in trails. I'd usually find 2-3 in the area and that's it. Can't find the source of them at all.
