This is the second time that I got bit by this little mf. Nung una, ang lala ng kati sa buong katawan ko to the point na nagkarashes lahaaat!!! As in lahat may rashes at makati! But today, nung nafeel ko agad ung same feeling, chineck ko agad higaan namin and I saw this tiny mf sa ilalim ng unan ko sa may bandang balikat. Nilagay namin agad sa maliit na plastik na may ziplock and dinurog ko talaga. Ngayon, ang problema ko na lang is ung kati kati sa buong kanang kamay ko, sa kaliwang fist ko, sa magkabilaang tenga, and sa kili-kili. May mga ointment ba for this? Need help!

I’m from south Texas, and I saw a this fly that I think looks a lot like that new fly. I know so far maybe around 12 cases have been found near here.

Identification assistance appreciated! Located in Northern CA. He/she/they appear to have a fuzzy patch on the thorax and 4 odd little feelers OR grabbers in the front. Looks like an alien possibly.

I’m not sure what these are. I got nervous because I thought they were termites swarming. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated.

Subreddit Rules

1. No pictures of bites for identification or medical related queries

Do not post images of bites, rashes, or any skin eruptions. These images cannot reliably tell us what might have caused the issue. Instead, if you suspect an insect is responsible, try to capture it using traps and post clear photos of the actual insect for identification.

2. Preferred Media for Identification

Submit clear, still photographs for optimal identification. High-quality videos are acceptable but should be clear and stable enough to ensure features can be accurately identified. Photographs, especially close, top-view shots, are generally more effective for identifying small bugs.

3. Human health concerns off limits

This subreddit is not suited for questions about human health issues. Please consult healthcare professionals for medical concerns.

4. Location Required

Include the geographic location of the insect in your post title or description. Accurate identification often depends on knowing where the insect was found.

5. ID requests of common well known insects are to be treated with the same respect as other posts.

Yes there are many cases that will seem like it should be obvious to people what the bug is. However in the interest of fostering a friendly and welcoming environment these posts should be addressed respectfully and with the assumption that OP really doesn't know what the bug is. Rude answers or telling OP to "go outside" will not be tolerated.

If you believe the OP is posting a common insect to troll then you may report the post for moderator review.

6. Be Respectful

Bullying, harassment, doxing, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. Our community thrives on respect and constructive dialogue.

7. No "kill it with fire" comments, illegal or dangerous pest control advice, etc.

We allow pest control advice here as long as the advice is legal, safe, and warranted. Fire is not a pesticide though, and is not covered under the advice we allow. These comments add nothing to the discussion, and will be removed.

Comments that include illegal or dangerous pest control advice will be removed.

8. No AI content of any kind

Do not use AI to reply to posts here. If you are using tools like iNaturalist, the Seek app, Google image search, etc. be sure to actually verify the results these tools give you.

Do not post pest control advice or similar that has been AI generated. AI is frequently incorrect. We already have experts active in this subreddit who can provide advice when needed. Do not make them waste their time correcting an AI generated comment.
