Hey guys and gals,

I've had a bit of an infestation of something in my home, and I noticed a small blackhead looking thing, squeezed it and this popped out. Anybody know what this is? Located in South Eastern Mediterranean

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Dermatologist trip tomorrow and a call to the exterminator too, one way or the other!

EDIT: for the mods, I cannot actually find a picture of the bug :(

ID Request Tiny dark reddish-brown bug found all over my room/bed. What is this?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify this tiny bug I’ve been finding in my room and especially around my bed.
I first noticed them about 2 months ago when the weather was extremely hot. At that time, there were quite a few different bugs in my room, and I killed some of these. Recently, I’ve started finding them again.

Some details:
-They’re very tiny, approximately around the size of a sesame seed (maybe 3–4 mm).
-They look dark brown/reddish-brown.
-The body seems elongated and somewhat flat.
-They do not jump.
I haven’t noticed them flying.
-They seem to stick/cling to surfaces, fabric.
-They’re surprisingly difficult to kill/crush.

I’ve found them in different places around the room, including on my bed.
I don’t know whether they bite, as I haven’t noticed anything specifically associated with them.
The attached photo is unfortunately the only photo I have, and it’s not very clear.
At first I wondered if they were fleas, lice, bed bugs, or carpet beetles, but they don’t seem to match the pictures I’ve seen online.
Does anyone recognize this insect or have an idea what it could be? Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated! 😭

An absolute swarm of these guys just blew past the patio where I'm staying this week. I'm very near the ocean on the East End of Long Island. This guy stopped and wiggled around until his wings eventually fell off. Now he might be dead, but the rest of the swarm moved right on. I'm from near here and I don't remember ever seeing these before.
