I recently found some insects in my bathroom they're black in color. Very, very tiny a little bigger that the head of a pin. They are very slow moving and head or antenea looks like it's in a Y shape. I tried throwing some water on a few of them to drown them since they are so small and I thought that killed them two minutes later a few were crawling back up the wall and one looked like it came out of the sink. I've looked everywhere online and can't find out what they are I thought they were a micro-beetle, tick, or bed bug and they don't look like any of them. Please help I want to find what they are if they are harmful and how to get rid of them. I haven't tried bug spray yet but I'm about to.

For everyone you see, add about 1000 you don't see. Try Bengal insect spray. Smells bad, BUT IT WORKS AND FAST!!

Your bug is probably from the family Cerambycidae, long horned beetles.  They usually have a long antennae, and sport at least one horn.  There are Lepturinae (members of the Cerambycidae family) which feed on flowers, they are usually green but can have a red or black body as well - sport a large singular horn and feed on flower pollen.  Their larvae will infest and eat dead wood or things like your fence.  \n\nUnfortunately - and most likely, you have found an Asian Long Horned Beetle (especially since you mentioned that specific region) and not a Lepturinae.  They are an environmentally dangerous and non native species that has a long horn and usually a metallic green and gold body or one that is black with stripes of silver.  About 46 of their 50 subspecies are the colours you described.  Sadly, they devour just about everything and wreak havoc on trees.  \n\nIt could also be the Shining Leaf Chafer, related to scarabs (they look an awful lot like an overgrown June Bug) they are a golden green colour that shimmers and glitters just like metal, or a nice paint job, but they usually don't have a horn.  \n\nHopefully that helps you some.

That is so cute what she said. What an adorable daughter you have! Well the ladybugs are from the beetle family. \nhttp://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/entfacts/fldcrops/ef105.htm\nhere is a link that i found which says that the red ladybugs are actually "asian lady beetles" and the yellow ones are plant feeding ladybugs! The adults have the orange colored bodies!\nWho knew! I love ladybugs and I believe that they carry good luck!

Could be a velvet ant?\n\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/52897

Yes they sound like "cicada killers", actually wasps, not bees. The nest can be eliminated pretty easily with a commercial spray, but it would be best to let professionals handle it, especially if you are allergic.\n\nhttp://www.ent.iastate.edu/clinic/files/images/cicadakiller.jpg\n\n.

I can't find anything, but I don't know what I'm looking for other than a black and yellow spider.  Here's a source which has some good pictures for which you can possible identify.  Check the garden spiders, orb weavers, and banana spiders.\n\nhttp://www.spiderzrule.com

You don't mention where it was found so that makes ID difficult; sounds like a Scolopendra. Look through these pics to see if you find a match. Some are poisonous; some are not.\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22scolopendra%22+centipede&btnG=Search

Tough it is a bit late, its not unheard of, as long as they don't freeze  they can survive just with a somewhat slow metalbolism, its been a rather warm Nov in the north east which may account for this, once the temp really plummets they will stop appearing. If its the ones shaped like a T its probably a plume moth, if not its probably some type of noctuid.

Is there any "rotting" around the wound? If so, it is a Brown Recluse otherwise known as a "Fiddle Back" (the back looks like a fiddle or violin). If you couldn't tell, is there a "lump" anywhere near the point of origin? If so, there is no cure. Fluids, rest, and fluids for it it is the bite of The Black Widow. Check with the forest ranger where you were, your parents who know the land , or any group you might be with. After my daughter was bit by a Black Widow, I bought a spider book and what to do. Also, check in the area you are in; in the continental USA, two spiders cause problems. The brown recluse and the black widow. Caution: I have seen "Albino Widows". They are white with a brown hourglass.

Cockroach\nCockroaches are bugs that are definitely house pests. They are related to grasshoppers and crickets. They have been on the earth for 250 million years. There are more than 3,500 species of cockroaches around the world. They live in different places . Some live in tropical rainforests and others live in deserts. 20 species live in human dwellings and are considered house pests.\nBody\nCockroaches have six legs just like any other insect. They have tiny bristles on their legs so they can feel whatever it's touching. Many of them fly but all of them run fast. Cockroaches have long antennae so they can smell.\nFood\nCockroaches are known as scavengers. They eat different things. They eat all kinds of food as well as paper, soap, plants, and dead animals.\nAdaptations\nCockroaches have survived over many of years because of its adaptations. When they have birth, they produce about 16-56 every 25 days. The babies become adults in three months. It is also resistant to most pesticides. They like damp, warm places. They run fast on their powerful legs. Their eggs are covered with leathery capsules so the babies don't get damp. in 250 million years, they have changed a little bit.\n"Cockroach," Compton's Encyclopedia, v. 6, Chicago, 1975.\nFaber, Betty Lane, "Cockroach," World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia, 1998.\nPredictions for roaches in the future.\nNOVA Adaptations and Survival menu.\n\nSNAILS:\nhttp://daviswiki.org/Slugs_&_Snails\n\nMILLIPEDE:\nhttp://whozoo.org/Intro2001/jamibump/JMB_Millipede.htm\nI hope this helps

I currently live in a log home and get carpenter ants all the time. I wipe the walls with bleach water as soon as I see one and they don't come back for a year. I try to wipe the walls with bleach water at least 2times during the summer(once to get rid of them and the second time to keep them away).\n\n\nJust thought I would let you know that rmaylaura is interested in ya. I seen a question she asked and she wants you to take notice in her. To bad I was hopin' I caught your eye. I guess too little too late;( Also I have a question for ya. Just click on my profile and it will be under the questions I asked.

If it has no visible head (except darker mandibles) and no legs, it is a fly larva, most likely Brachycera, the most common sub order of flies (house flies, blow flies, etc.). It is difficult to determine the exact species, or even family for that matter without seeing it under a scope with a key. It is most likely some species of flesh fly or blow fly, their larvae tend to be very mobile, althought they typically dont travel very far, so the source of your maggot problem may be or possibly was not too long ago, just outside the area where they are coming in by. If they depleted their food resource, typically rotting flesh or dung, they will sometimescrawl away in search of more food....\n\nhope this helps!

My guess is that you've found a golden torotise beetle (Charidotella sp.)\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/8827/bgpage\n\nThey are related to ladybugs but not really a part of that group. Dead beetles quickly lose the gold.

First of all i seriously doubt that spiders are bitting you. This is a very common misconception and 99% of the time people think they are getting bit by spiders and they are actually just having asn allergic rection to the sheets, or they have bed bugs, or some other parasitic insect infectation. Unless you have actually seen the spider physically bite you, you are wrong.... trust me, my job is to determine what is "biting" people half the time and it is never spiders. I was bitten by several spiders in my day, I work with them for a living, and trust me, when you get bit, you know it! You will have a large bulbous wound, way worse than any bee sting, and there are two VERY visible punture marks, especially with a group like wolf spiders (probably not them anyways) the bites are extremely painful and terribly obvious.\nI think you should really look into the problem before "bombing" your spiders. Actually to tell you the truth, the spiders are probably eating whatever it is that is really bitting you.\nSpiders are NOT ectoparasites of humans, they never bite needlessly. Every single time I was bitten was because I picked them up, they felt threatened and that is their only defence, they NEVER seek out paople to bite.......It just doesn't happen. All spiders eat insects, there re some exceptions and they feed on nectar, but there has never been a species out there that feeds of the blood of people.\nSpiders are also very fragile, if you were to say roll on one in bed, it may bite, but it would also die at the same time, then you would find dead spiders in your bed, have you seen any?\nA spider large enough to bite a human is probably over an inch long, not very hard to miss, so if you see one of these little giants, in your bed sheets and you have a terrible looking bite with two puncture woulds and a swelling that looks like you have a ping-pong ball under your skin, then you can blame a spider, but until then I think  you should go get tested for allergens, or inspect the tins spaces along the mattress, and sheets for some tiny brownish-red insetcs, or their feces (black bits), these are bed bugs, not uncommon.\n\ntrust me, it is a whaste of money to bob for spiders, and take my word on this, spiders are not the culprit it is something else

It definitely sounds as though it is probably a beetle of some kind.\n\nThe hard, shiny black/blue/green mixture and the hard body and its toughness all point to the probability of a beetle, as does the resemblance to a lightning bug (which is actually a type of beetle).\n\nUnfortunately, identification beyond 'beetle' is difficult from this information.  The beetles are the largest group of insects in the world, with as many as a million different species in the group.\n\nThe good news is that there are no beetles that are venomous or dangerous to man beyond a little nip or bite.  The beetles have rather generalized chewing mouthparts, and there are no bloodsucking or poison injecting members of the group.\n\nIf the bite you have sustained is from this insect, it is unlikely to be serious.  The biggest danger would be from infection, which could occur if you scratch the wound and bacteria from your fingers enter the cut.  It is possible that this is what has occurred in your situation, since the symptoms you describe fit such an infection.  If the swelling, itchiness or redness increase, I would definitely see a doctor.\n\nEven if it wasn't your unidentifiable beetle that caused the wound, infection of the wound is still your greatest danger.  Any toxic effects from a poisonous critter would have been felt already.

They might be a type of millipede. I've heard olf them infesting damp areas. If the curl up into balls when you poke them, they probably are.
