What kind of F'n Bug is this????

[Magnus]

Ok, i see my two cats starring intently at the carpet. I saw a little hop, and I managed to catch this little mofo:

Definately not a flee...I took 3 scans of it...magnified a thousand times. That object on the left is part of a quarter, so it's quite small. Any ideas? It's definately an insect due to the 3 sets of legs. Unless I broke some off by accident...stupid bugs. As if I need any more poo right now...

Jesus, and I mean that like your f'n jesus to have eyes good enough to see that. Either that or you have like super halogen stadium lighting in your apartment. I don't know what the hell it is, but kudos on catching it, and seeing it, and sharing it with us!!

hey magnus weren't you talking about some itchy red spots that you were finding on your body a few days ago??....these bastids may have something to do with it

[Debz]

maybe try doing a search on the internet.. i found an earwig in my apt and searched for a bit and found out it was an earwig.. I think i just searched for bugs with the description..

Looks kind of like a little shrimp. Beats me what the hell it is. What's that long nasty looking spike sticking out the back of it?

Well, I haven't gotten anymore bites in a long while. This one I found in my living room. I'll run a search...see what I come up with.

Ummm..what should I run a search on...household pests?

You could also call up someone at your local university. What are they called, entemologiests? I dunno. Bug people. They'd know.

[defjoe]

Yea they are geeks... like the 2 dudes that Starling brought the deathhead moth to in Silence of the Lambs.. you need those two dudes.

bed bugs are making a comeback all over north america, because the days when your mom would shut all the windows and 'raid' the house once a week are over....something about cancer....i dunno....so bedbugs are back.

also, it could be a flea - i thought fleas, when they've just hatched, are light and don't have a hard 'shell' straight away. and they can live in carpets. hell, i bought a house once and they were living in the wooden floorboards. i'd bet it's one of these, what with your crazy red pustules and all. try dunking your cats.

greetings, earthlings. take me to your dealer.

Hey is this it? Hell I dunno..just thought I would take a stab at it...LOL!

It's not a silverfish...nor is it a bed bug, which looks like a tic. A flea looks like this:

I don't think it's anything that is considered to be a common household pest. Which means it could be some regular joe insect. I mean dead insect.
