“I was getting random bites all over me as well as seeing these bugs on my arms from time to time. I think its a rodent mite but I’m not certain. Could someone more knowledgeable than myself give their two cents? They are around a millimetre and the white on their back is just from powder I had left in the bottom I captured it in. My bite marks are small and bleed easily if scratched, but otherwise only mildly itchy. I live in an apartment off the ground floor in the city but I doubt rodents are”
“Re-upload bc I uploaded the wrong pic first time around, sorry! Over the last week, my family and I have gotten a couple bites intermittently and they looked like mosquito bites and itched like them, so figured it was just a stray one in the house with a vendetta. But unfortunately, after rocking my youngest in the rocking chair for an hour yesterday, my thighs got chewed up (no lined pattern, looks like I just stepped outside without pants (despite wearing long pants) and tried to make a sacrif”
“I’d appreciate some help identifying this bug that I found on my ankle Some info: - I noticed it because I felt a pinch on my ankle - I had been sitting on the couch - my home is very clean and generally pest-free, but I moved about a month ago (so may have been a preexisting pest) - I’m in upstate NY - it was very tiny - it crawled fairly fast around my leg, seemed to have wings Unfortunately these are the best photos I could get. submitted by /u/dreamscape1616 [link] [comment”
“for the last few days, I’ve been getting bites over my body, pretty spread out. Last night before bed, I felt a bite on my leg and pulled off this guy. Not sure what it is. It’s super small, no bigger than the size of a period. Need help identifying! Thank you! submitted by /u/Alexandria_Burns [link] [comments]”
“TLDR: how do you identify a biting insect? Would calling an exterminator be the best call? I think just within the last few weeks me and my girlfriend have been experiencing small pimple like red bites, extremely itchy. We do not ever feel it when we get bit, it’s only some time after when we start itching that we see the bites. The bites are not flat like mosquito or bed bugs Luckily the bites are usually only around our ankles or hands. Based on extensive googling I think it’s fleas but my gir”

“Hey guys, so I’m hoping to get some advice with some bug bite my wife has been getting recently. From time to time she’ll wake up with mysterious bites over night. They’re slightly red and really itchy. The bites aren’t consistently happening. Some days it’ll be back to back. While other days we go days and don’t see anything new. I personally don’t experience any bite or anything in particular. The only things we’ve really seen are few tiny spiders on the ceiling of the room. We get rid of them”
“over the past week, I first noticed a little black bug on the floor by my sinks, and I didn’t think much of it and I killed it next thing I know I start seeing them in my tub, but this time there is 2 to 5 of them at a time. I used Google AI and it said it could be cockroach nymphs but these bugs are really tiny. they are kind of shaped like a cockroach. Im in Dallas Texas. submitted by /u/Odd_Highlight7618 [link] [comments]”
