You're right, it's a cerambycid beetle. They bore in wood as larvae and usually feed on flower pollen as adults. They are not dangerous and will not cause itching. They have powerful jaws and can give you a good nip if mishandled but, in general, they have nothing to do with humans.

It's a leopard moth (Hypercompe scribonia ), an older one - you can see that the scales are worn from it's wing tips. They're very common, not a pest - actually quite striking!\n\nhttp://midcoast.tamu.edu/images/leopard%20moth.jpg\nhttp://home.att.net/~larvalbugbio/leopardmoth.html\nhttp://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/cimg253.html

One common bug with that colour pattern is called the box elder bug.\n\nThey feed on the leaves of maple trees (also called box elders), and can become minor nuisances when they start moving into people's houses in the late summer and fall, looking for a place to spend the winter.\n\nThey'll bunch up in big masses in crawl spaces, attics, behind the walls, or in unused rooms and closets.  \n\nSometimes, if it gets warm enough in winter, they'll wake up and go for a wander.  For some reason, they usually wait until company is over, and then they go slowly buzzing across the room before landing on your bosses' wife's hair.\n\nThe best way to take care of them is actually a vacuum cleaner.  They're perfectly harmless, and can be sucked up and disposed of with ease.\n\nHere's some pictures http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/natural/insects/bugsfaq/boxeld.htm\n\nhttp://www.extension.umn.edu/yardandgarden/YGLNews/images/boxelderbug.jpg

a black ant, relevant to its size

Look in moist wood areas for carpenter ants. They are fairly large as far as ants go.

I usually kill it. Why am i going to scream im how much bigger than this bug. There is no reason to scream I know I dont. Just kill it and get it over with. My husband would probably scream though.

this is the patagonian blue flea - a major pest to US wheat crops, I would advise you to contact your nearest biosecurity office under the ministry of agriculture in your state.\n\nIf bitten rub the effected areas with a solution of malt vinegar and detergent, then get your children to the hospital IMMEDIATELY, preferably with a blue flea specimen so they can analyse its venom.\n\non the other hand it could be a flea beetle or sand hopper - both of which ar completely harmless

I can't quite tell from the pictures, but it looks like they might be the nymphs of boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittatis).  They are harmless bugs that feed on maple trees, but sometimes wander into people's homes in large numbers looking for a place to overwinter.\n\nI have never seen eggs like that for boxelder bugs though.  Boxelder bug eggs are usually a rather scattered spattering of eggs on the underside of a maple leaf somewhere.  So they could be something else, like a milkweed bug, or possibly even a Coreid (which do often lay their eggs in a linear row like that).  Coreids are predatory, and can actually inflict a rather nasty bite if handled (one bite I received from a tiny nymph was actually much more painful than any wasp sting I've ever gotten).\n\nCheck out the True Bugs pages on this site:  http://whatsthatbug.com/ for some images that might give you a better idea of what you have there.

What is the difference between a travios and a brand new prius car? They both are transportation, but what difference. YOU are saying none of those structures would help the beetle in bombarding, but talk to an entomologist and he will explain how this marvel evolved. Think of the eye, in it's" perfection", yet extant in the world are all sorts of eyes that " are structures that exists separately " and are in various percentage stages that are are any where from 5% of an eye to the full human, bird and octopus eye. So we know it does work. I am too tired to go on tonight, so I hope this question attracts more responses.

well, it definitely sounds like an arthropod, so the place to look would be a book or website with lots of pictures of different kinds of Arthropods - crustaceans, spiders, centipedes, insects, and more, they're all in the phylum Arthropoda.  Your arthropod sounds like it's in one of the lesser known groups.

Hmmm... looks like the common House Spider... but it also almosts looks like the Hobo Spider.... don't worry, these species are harmless but they can be quite a nuisance.

The largest known insect is the Goliath beetle, (Goliathus druryi).  It can grow up to 8 inches long and weighs as much as a small bird.\n\nand the longest is The Giant Australian stick insect (Exatosoma tiaratum), measuring in at 13 inches, is the longest known insect.

The "angel bug" name is probably a local thing. They could be whiteflies or woolly aphids.\nCheck out some pics:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Sternorrhyncha.html

long and pointed - almost remind me of a grasshopper or a pill bug's legs
