What kind of bug is a centipede looking kind found in my house in Colorado?
It is aparently a House Cetepede. More specific a (Scutigera). They are centepedes that like moist conditions. They like to hang out in abthrroms, bedrooms and what not. They eat most insects and even most spiders. They actually are very clean and do clean your house up for you. But most people believe they are a pest and kill them. Me myself I do too.
They can bite it is possible. but veryv ery very rare. By that I mean you are about as lucky to get hit by lightning rare. They usually do not go after any human or bite them. They have been proven a little been venemous but not even to kill a human. They hvae taken down a very samll mouse before though.

They are just like any other bug and hide in soem crevices and other small damp places. Under carpets. But usually are under your house in the boards and what not where it is damp when it rains and where it can feel secure and safe.
They usually start coming out around September and getting in to places when it starts getting damp but also still warm. Somewhere around September is when they are seen the most.But not always.
How many eggs are produced by the queen bee a day?
A queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day. She only lays one egg in each cell, so needs the time to extract her abdomen from one cell, select the next cell in which to lay, inspect it, then insert her abdomen into the next cell. This process takes tens of seconds even if the queen is working quickly.
Some but not all. It has to be really concentrated since they are hardy and they can smell it coming so before it gets to that point, many will go into walls away from most of it and those in places like inside your furniture or boxsprings (extremely common) will be completely sheltered. There is also no residual killing effect. Professional companies almost never use any kind of fog on a bb treatment for those reasons.

Where do horseflies rest at night?
Horseflies don't really have a home. They are just everywhere. They sleep inside the bark of a tree and they sleep on plain grass. The lifespan of most insects isn't more than a week or so. Therefore, it's more likely your average horsefly doesn't need a permanent home . It will rest on a bush overnight and die the next day.
Do you mean a linear sequence of bites, or an actual linear mark on your arm? If it's a linear sequence of bites, I know spiders tend to bite that way.

How many eggs does one fly lay in one day?
Each female housefly can lay about 500 eggs in batches of 75 to each. It takes maybe 3-4 days to lay the 500 total eggs. They look like wet miniature rice on the surface of decaying food or excrement. The eggs only need 24 hours to hatch into maggots. Adults live from 2 weeks to a month in the wild, and a female is receptive to the male at 36 hours of age. She only needs the one mating to lay fertile eggs for the rest of her life.
Since it has been three days since the insect bite, it sounds like the symptoms are severe. With the material constantly coming out of the wound, as well as the swelling and bruising the bite should be evaluated by a doctor to prevent serious complications.
What insect has no ears but a great sense of smell?
