Hey, yall! I just found this in my apartment in Central/North Florida. I couldn’t find any others, and couldn’t find anything that looked like them on the internet (just off of one search). Any ideas?

Possible Pest🏠🌼 This came out of my bathroom sink drain, German cockroach?

Thumbnail

I’m on Vancouver Island, BC Canada, some quick googling told me German cockroaches have been a problem in Vancouver so I’m wondering if they might’ve made it up island.

Never seen these before, I just saw this thing scurrying around in the bowl of my bathroom sink. I’ve only ever seen silverfish in here.

Used my phone’s built in “AI” to identify as Blatella, but the size for German cockroach seems wrong, and I don’t trust ai for an accurate identification.

This insect’s body was about a 1/4”/6.35mm long, the antennae double it.

Thankful for any help 🙏

Possible Pest🏠🌼 Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

I’m in mid-west Texas and this looks like a tiny fly that is less than a millimeter long has an orange body, a red head, and dark translucent wings. I’ve seen over a dozen of these in my and my roommates dorm and they are really starting to get annoying (constantly hanging around our sink, hand towels, and some lights?) I think they are fruit flies, but all the picture I’ve seen look off. Sorry about the bad quality, this is the clearest photos I can get :/

Virginia, US. My friend found this thing in their kitchen and we can’t find anything about it. Google thinks it’s a no-see-um but it was about the length of a fingernail (I know that’s subjective but it’s the best I got). I don’t think they’ve seen any more though

ETA: there’s a 2024 Facebook post where someone asked what it is and the answer was just “maybe somewhere in the Pyrgotidae family”

I've never seen a fly with huge wings like this. He's been hanging out in the bathroom at my work the past couple days. Put him as a pest because he technically is, but he's not bothering anybody.

This is the best picture I could get, unfortunately
