What insect is this?

[100%]

And
why are there so many in our house?
What is their function? ie. do they feed off of the souls of little children?
Are they worth any cash per kilo?

We live near forest, windows are open often, i regard our house relatively clean. I wouldn't simply conclude that i am a dirty filthy bugger.:shutup:

they are about 3mm

Is it?

[CrabGirl]

Yes it's definatly a weevil. Some species are ok to have around the house and others are really not ok as they get into food. I can't tell you which this is as there are thousands of species. how many do you find round the house and where abouts in the house do you find them>? it might be they are coming in from the woods outside, or if there are loads in the kitchen they might be breeding, in which case I'd call pest control.

[CrabGirl]

What country are you in by the way? That'd narrow down which species it'd be. What kind of forests also, deciduous or coniferous? And what is the main species of tree? Is the land around you agricultural? If you narrow it down for me I'll have another look for you.

He's in Lala Land. True story.

Looks like a wood boring beetle to me, which is hardly surprising given your location.

Just make sure that the timber in your house has been treated against them.

I still suspect you are a dirty filthy bugger. :yup:

[rainbows123]

whatever it is, it's gross

[Skiz]

That isn't a weevil.

Looks like some sort of small June Bug. :unsure:

[Detale]

Fuck that it looks like a Lounge Flea! RUN RUN RUN!!

Hey, thanks for the hilarious zoological speculations.
was off painting wooden floating thing.

I looked at both the "weevil" and "wood boring beetle",
both seemed correct,
Hence i have a case of "Boring Weevil"
although i think weevil is closest, i hope cause our house is made of wood...
although the weevil seems to be focused on damp cooler areas (my poor bed crotch) and tend to go for wheaty foods (not nipples).

There seems to be no indication that they drill into your ear and lay eggs in your brain while you sleep, the offspring of which cause you to write hessian texts.
nor do they eat money from your pocket, hence someone else is to blame.

On a positive note, my kid & i collected a bunch of them and freed them into a swimming pool of turquoise battery acid as it stated on the site. (only way to kill aliens)

One trick i learned from this is, to discard the vacuum cleaning bag after sucking them all into the black hole, so that they do not simply crawl out again.

Weevil - 0
Lounge - 1

[Skiz]

Looks like a bole weevil maybe...

by the way as you see on first image they have wings. And long nose, (cocaine evolution?)

[QUOTE=CrabGirl;2842772]
how many do you find round the house?
occasional sightings (though for the kid are extremly exciting), not 1000's,
basically around 8. Hey if you want i will do hardcore under everything searching but i end to fall asleep

where abouts in the house do you find them>?
corners
behind things
(insects are not exactly exhibitionists, except for spiders (idiots))


What country are you in by the way?

it recently got oil, hence the farmers are confused what to do with the money. blooody awful in the winter wild in summer. They are famous for salmon, trolls, and nothing beyond 1700bc, although santa is close.

What kind of forests also, deciduous or .coniferous?
yes the trees are pretty, and decisive, in a stubborn sort of way, indeed some have conical shaped dome, not that they care. most look twiggly in winter, the others get presents in xmas during christmas. The seaweed is very different though.

And what is the main species of tree?
Green Tree, although there is also Appel, cherry, plum, pine, & one cannabis tree.


Is the land around you agricultural?
It does not smell of aroma di fertilizer around here

If you narrow it down for me I'll have another look for you.

narrowed = done
another look = ?

If you want i can send one to each of the Loungees for further inspection.

@skizo - that is definetly it (on steroids version). (apart from mine prefer to roam kafkaen architectural spaces.
