Twin Lake Michigan -

I’ve been having issues with these tiny gnats. ChatGPT identified them as Fungus Gnats. I’m not sure.

I don’t notice them much during the day. They hover around me usually at night while I’m on the couch reading. They seem to fly around my face, and occasionally land on my shirt. Sometimes I hear a buzzing sound much like a fly, near my ear (as opposed to a mosquito). Can anyone identify these? There is probably more than one type of insect. What is the best way to clear them out?

They are very much attracted to the bug zapper and all these photos are bugs that got zapped.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Got an accidental poke in Show low, Arizona. Who's this little gal/guy? And with some hatched babies? Orangish red, with white pinstripes along the back. Spines are all black with light tips.

Hi there, I’m freaking out a bit.

I found both of these on my kitchen floor today, a few hours apart. Yesterday I found one on my front porch. A couple of months ago, I also found two under a bucket in my garage near the garage entrance.

I’m in Arkansas. I’m hoping someone can help identify what kind of cockroach these are and whether this points to an infestation inside my house or if they’re just wandering in from outside.
