Lampyridae are the bugs that flash bright lights when they fly. They are more commonly known as fireflies and lightning bugs. This light is chemically produced in the lower abdomen of the insects.
Their name is Bathroom Flies, Clogmia albipunctata. They are a tiny member of the moth family. I finally figured out how to get rid of them. My problem was that I hadn't run the water in the tub in that bathroom for a long time. Once I started running the tub every 3 or 4 days, they disappeared and I have not had a problem since. Good luck!
they're actually called wood lice and 1 alone is a wood louse, and no, they are harmless

How long does a dust mite bite last?

Insects with more than 6 legs?
None. Insects always have 3 pairs of legs. That is one of the features that defines the word insect.
Creatures such as spiders, centipedes, millipedes and scorpions are no longer considered insects, although they were in Carolus Linnaeus's original classification system, as were allmembers of the phylum Arthropoda (which basically means "jointed leg"). Somewhere in the mid 1800s, zoologists - specifically entomologists - decided that only 6-legged animals would be included in the classification Insecta, and would here-ever-after be classified as Hexapoda. The spiders, et al, were dropped into their own categories.
As for the word "bug", it too is a specifically defined entomological term and does not refer to everything that crawls. It refers to only two suborders of the order Hemiptera, and does not include such well known "bugs" as the ladybug, the doodlebug or the sow bug (all of which, by the way, are insects).

How do stick insects reproduce?
Most captive Indian stick insects can and do reproduce in the absence of a male (parthenogenetic reproduction). The insect (female) will lay hundreds of tiny (0.08 inch or 2 mm) eggs over her life. These are smooth and round and must be separated form the feces at the bottom of the cage.
Populations of stick insects which still live in the wild in India where the males are much more common breed in a conventional fashion. Here the mail fertilities the eggs and they and while the females can reproduce parthenogeneticaly, there are probably good genetic reasons for this since without normal sexual reproduction the species would be expected to lose genetic diversity over time and therefore be unable to adapt and evolve.

What is a large group of insects?
Beetles (order Coleoptera) are the largest group of insects, and are the largest group of any animal species. The 250,000 species of beetles account for 1/4 of all living animals.
They didn't evolve because they didn't need to. Natural selection roots out the weak genes which allow the strongest traits to survive. Evidently, as insects did not change, their traits and genes were already ideal for the environment, so they did not evolve.
Do mosquito hawks bite or sting?
Mosquito Hawks are actually called Crane Flies, and contrary to their name, do not feed on mosquito's. Adult Mosquito Hawks do not feed at all.

Scrape a credit card against your skin, so the tick comes out. do not try to burn it out. it will just regurgitate into your skin. You are more likely to contract a disease if this happens. there are several ways but this one works for me every time
grab the little bugger and twist while pulling away from your skin like you are unscrewing it. Their mouths are barbed and will only come out if they want it to or if you work the barbs like the threads of a screw.
<P>some people will use olive oil, a lit match ( to make it back out ) or alcohol.</P>
