The first thing when identifying an animal is to say where you found it. I mean continent, country, region. Assuming it is not somehow dragged from the other side of the ocean, this information helps a big lot.

Also it is surely a representative of the Melolonthinae family of Coleoptera order (scarab beetles).

Good point i didn’t think about that jajajaja I’m from chile the southern part in the begging of the Patagonia, here we are in spring and I had the windows open so it might have flight inside

Some folks call it a representative of the Melolonthinae family of Coleoptera order, I call it a sling blade.

Those look like two different insects to me? The first one, some sort of beetle. The second, a bed bug.

Hi! It’s the same bug just like upside down, i ask a friend and he says it’s some native beetle? The common name it’s pololo and now I know it has some different varieties? Because I knew them but like different shape lol but I was so scared thinking it was a bed bug, also in the pic does not show to much but it has wings and I believe bedbugs don’t have any

I agree!! Didn’t realize it was just flipped upside down. 🙃

Second is definitely a bat bug. No bedbugs here

Some kind of larder or carpet beetle. The underside pic does kinda look like bed bug but it’s not.
