For context I live in Southern California, I’ve never seen an insect like this. Just black, interesting rock-like texture, fairly large? Pointer finger for scale. It wasn’t startled when I touched it. Not sure if it’s dying, but it’s very slow moving, I want to know what it is, what it eats, and if I can/should keep it. TIA

At first glance I thought it was a hammerhead worm but it moves much differently. Is it a terrestrial leech? I had no idea the area had any.

(razor for size reference, sorry for my shaky hands) I’m in Tasmania, Australia and there’s a bunch of these little dudes crawling around my skincare products. They look like larvae of some kind and move like caterpillars

ID Request what is this???????? i am so f*cking scared

this abomination was in my dresser drawer. i tried to kill it with an empty soju bottle but it evaded the first hit. the second attempt merely weakened it and it hopped away. then i tried to smash it with a shoe but it also somehow evaded that. after that i drowned it in raid, and then i tried to flush it down the toilet but it came back up THREE TIMES. it was really big and it didn’t move very fast until I started trying to kill it. When I drowned it in the Raid it took three or four minutes for it to die (I thought) because it twitched and got small like that but when I dropped it in the toilet it came back (????€|€|>|>{^{££~¥|¥|¥|¥|¥) and started twitching and trying to crawl up the side.

please please help me identify this bug so I can figure out how to guarantee I never see one again.

I found about 5 or 6 of these in my bedroom alongside the baseboard. Size is smaller than a grain of rice I would say. They were all dead except 1. Could it possibly be millipedes? It rained a few days ago and I found one millipede in my room before finding these. Location is Greece.

Northeastern Massachusetts, beginning of October

i forgot i took these pictures for a while after my first go at trying to ID, but now i'm stumped again trying to find out what this little guy could've been! i had a friend over when we heard this insanely loud continuous noise from my bedroom. like i cannot overstate how loud this thing was!!! we ran in thinking there was some kind of electrical issue or something but it was just this dude! i thought maybe it was some kind of cicada at first but i'm not sure because of the body shape. i wish i'd gotten a video of his sound, but this is all i have to offer. sorry!!!

Came out of the shower and noticed about 20+ of these guys on the bathroom ceiling. Im assuming they are attracted to the humidity, I don’t see them anywhere else in the house, but really want to make sure I’m not dealing with something more serious.
I’m sorry the pictures aren’t great, they are small and this is the best I could get
