I found this guy in my basement walking slowly across the floor. He was huge, about the size of my pinky finger. He didn't have the long antennae like a water bug would, so we were wondering if you could help identify it. We live in central PA and don't typically have insects in our home.

Tiny black bugs showed up in our kitchen 2 days ago (7/1/10). They are mainly around the sink and window sill. Their wings have an orange outline, which cannot be seen with naked eye. They can fly. We've never seen these before. Thank you for your ID.

Found in Northern Michigan. About an inch long. Moved fairly slow. We found it on a pile of corn husks so may be from a different state that grows corn in May.

I found this bug on my shower curtain this morning. They are all over my yard outside. I think they may eat my garden? I live in AZ and my home is surrounded by oleanders. I find them a lot around plants or on my outside walls. They have 6 legs, antenaes, and are grey, black, and red with a white spot on them. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

2 of this insect found together in bark of a tree stump while camping in southern VT. One black, with a hard, beetle like head, caterpillar like body & the other, beige w/ brown markings, had recently shed it's outer black casing ...reveling a softer head (with pinchers) but now with antennae & new wings. They were about the length of my middle finger. Could they be stages of a giant moth type perhaps? Please LMK if you know what these are, we're quite curious!

Found this bug after my son screamed about being bit. It does not seem to fly. In the center of its back is a bronze oval that looks a little like a small leaf. If has a long red tube for its mouth with long antennea.

BLACK SUNFLOWER BUGS
I live in Houston, Texas. This bug is hanging out on my sunflowers every time I go out to check. It started out by itself but then more appeared. I am wondering whether this pest is responsible for the holes in my sunflower's leaves, or if it is actually a beneficial bug. I want to make sure before I take any further action! Thank you for your help.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

The Bug
Hi, some 2cm long (w/o antennas) black insect with wings was flying around in my room in my house on the 2nd floor around 1am; it was rather very noisy, you could hear the wings flap "trk trk trk trk" of some sort. I'm located in Ontario, Canada, and I'm wondering what kind of bug this is (I killed it, so the picture looks a bit smashed).
Thank you!

We found this on our farm in central Nebraska early this morning. It was in dirt near a building. It is very shiny and has a triangle marking on its back. I've looked at several photos on the web but have not found one that looks like this one. His antenna seems smaller than most I've seen. We had it in an large ice cream bucket and it flew out of it. Thanks in advance for your help.

I found this black body insect that has 6 legs, a head like an ant with small pinchers in the front, it also has antennas and for the tail looks like bigger pinchers. This was about a half inch in length.

Long black body that is thicker at head end, but narrow at tail end. Body is as long as wings, short antenna, veins in wings, don't move like a normal house fly when something approaches them (like a hand or camera lens). so far likes beet leaves, brocco raab leaves, and here it is on a sweet pea leaf. Easy to catch by hand.

This was taken in upstate NY. It looks like some sort of tortoise beetle. Is it? I can't seem to find this image anywhere. Maybe you can help me identify it.
Thank you MONI....
