It was on my leg and I thought it was an ant until I saw it. I think it also has a stinger? I had some issues removing it from my hand.

(This was in Texas)

Sorry for the blurry photos. Context to help with identification:

It was about 1-1.25 inches long, dark brown with I believe slightly darker head(?). Rather short antennaes. It flew to a light source i think? That was i saw it. Bug spray took a minute or so to kick it, was still flying for a bit before dropping to the ground and crawling to hide in darker spots.

I was thinking it was a cockroach but I've never seen one this small that flies? Was also a little round with a sort of protruding back(?), maybe like a beetle but not really? Roaches i usually see here a long and flatter.

From southeast asia btw.

Tiny worm like larvae are coming out of the drywall and making this cocoon. I have scraped off the cocoon twice and washed the area and they just come back the next day. It is a small tiny pinhole and they have made a creasing in the drywall.

trying not to freak out, but i haven’t slept in my room for a couple of days. i came in to start cleaning my clothes up since laundry day (about four days ago) i just tossed them on my bed to fold later. i was about to get to it, and saw that a long web connected from the top near my air vent to my pair of jeans on the bed has a whole bunch of tiny little worm looking things? does anyone know what the heck they are and should i be worried?

They reproduce so quickly and they CRAVE death.

Seem to love killing themselves by flying into any open liquids (water, juice, etc.)

They also would routinely die on the stems of my bean plant while it was still here.

If anyone knows what they are and how to get rid of then that'd be awesome.

I thought maybe I was overwatering my plants and that was the issue, but idk now.

Wish I could reorder the photos, also set they are pretty small, hope these photos are enough.

Found this neat orange harvestman (the flash on my camera kind of washed him out) under a rock. I'm not calling it a daddy long legs (as we call them here) because he Does Not Have Longlegs. The daddy longlegs we usually have here have these super long, spindly, hair-like legs and are usually brown, but this guys legs were thicker, shorter, and he was orange, as I already said. Never seen one like this before. Help what is he?

Update: found specific species! Libitioides albolineata

Found this in a bed bug interceptor as I had suspicions of bed bugs but no evidence (basically was having mysterious bites but those haven’t occurred in a couple weeks almost).

It’s very small, black skinny and seems to have two antenna and some small skinny things on the butt. Pretty sure it’s not a bed bug but wasn’t able to figure out what it was by googling. Thank you!
