You found tiny black bugs with yellow strips on pillow on your couch?
It's possible that the bugs you found are carpet beetles, which are common household pests. They feed on natural fibers like wool or cotton found in carpets, furniture, and clothing. To address the issue, vacuum thoroughly, discard infested items if necessary, and consider contacting a pest control professional for further assistance.
Arthropods have specialized mouthparts that they use to chew, pierce, or suck their food depending on their species. Some arthropods have mandibles for biting and chewing, while others have proboscises for sucking up liquids. They may also use enzymes to break down food externally before ingesting it.
Some insects that can spread parasites include mosquitoes (e.g. malaria), ticks (e.g. Lyme disease), and fleas (e.g. plague). These insects can act as vectors, transferring parasites from one host to another during feeding. Preventing insect bites and controlling insect populations can help reduce the risk of parasite transmission.
What is the difference between a producer and a secondary consumer?
A primary carnivore is an animal that eats herbivores .
A primary carnivore is an animal that eats the first order consumers (the animals which are herbivores). For example, a deer or a mouse.

It sounds like you might have Pharroh Ants. Keeping all of your food in the fridge/freezer for a couple of weeks and cleaning with a mixture of tea tree oil, bleach and hot water twice a day (morning and night) can get rid of them. The other option of course is to just call in an exterminator. Hope this helps, Bridget

Insects also have a high number of species and individuals, but single-celled bacteria are generally more abundant in terms of sheer numbers.

cicada
Cicadas (cricket) located in Australia have a loud noismaker called a 'timbais' located on the sides of the abdominal base. During mating season the noise is great and often annoys residences around them.
For the same reason they catch/kill and if hungry eat mice. Cats like to prey on little moving objects. House cats do it mostly for fun. It's the predator instinct in them, to hunt.
Cats have "chase instinct": Run from them and they will chase you. Besides, some bugs are delicious: Live grasshoppers have a lot of protein, but they won't stop kicking their legs until you chomp down on their heads. Try it! The Bible tells of John wandering the wilderness and living off of locusts and honey. So it is NOT without precedence.

How do bugs get into enclosed light fixtures?
All light fixtures are vented in some way to keep the heat differentials from producing pressure gradients. i.e. so that the materials around the light does not catch on fire. Flies, generally insects 'fly towards the light/heat source' and are persistent enough to find a way in.
Inchworms, also known as measuring worms or loopers, live in a variety of habitats including forests, gardens, and grasslands. They are commonly found on trees, shrubs, and low-lying vegetation where they feed on leaves. Inchworms are known for their distinctive looping movement as they crawl along surfaces.
What does a cicarda look like after it leaves its shell?
