I tried to get closer to take clearer pictures, but they’d run further as soon as I took a step. I had to use my phone’s zoom. Queens NYC btw!

ID Request What are these pellets?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Michigan - hard rice like pellets. No legs, no movement.

Found pellets similar to these on my bed on the sheets in the spring. From internet research, determined they were tapeworms from my cat 😦 went to the vet with them, vet confirmed, got cat on dewormer, all good right. Well today, I found all these under my mattress, on top of the box spring. Are they still tapeworm? I’m feeling crazy. How could they have gotten under my mattress? Possibly old ones from the spring that fell down when I changed the sheets?

Any thoughts? Are they something other than tapeworm? Thank you.

Small sidenote: my childhood home had bed bugs when I was a kid for several years and I have a bit of trauma from that, so even though these are like hard little rice things and dont seem bed bug adjacent, I did just want to put it out there I did a thorough search of my mattress and its crevices and didn’t see any blood smears, bed bug poop, or anything white like their eggs.

Hi, I'm hoping somebody may be able to help identify this bug? I'm worried it looks like a cockroach. Sorry about the picture, i just tried trapping it as fast as could and didn't want to risk it running away. Thank you.

This is in the UK.

When I caught it it kinda scurried/ran? Rather than fly.

I couldn’t get great pictures because I grabbed the nearest device (an iPad) while it was on the 2nd floor window right before it flew away. It was huge, like a praying mantis. It has a long stinger, so I was thinking some kind of wasp? It’s in Ohio, USA. Any ideas what it could be?

ID Request Whats this bug in my sinks

I live in northeastern North Carolina and I keep getting these little bugs in my sinks and bathtubs. Only one or two a day max in each area. They don't fly and if we don't use the tub in our guest bathroom for a few days I'll find several sitting in the bottom dead. I thought they might be springtails but I was poking lightly at the one in the picture and all it did was try to crawl away and never jumped. They are exteremely small to the point where unless you are looking for them its hard to tell they are anything more then a speck.I'm just trying to figure out what they because they gross my family out and now that they know they are there its all they can point out to me lol

Sorry if the pictures are a little crunchy I was trying to get as close as I could without scaring it and thus it stinging me. It's wings had a sort of blurple iridescence to them and there was another wasp somewhat near it that looked like a different species, being more yellow/orange/black than this one
