I live in an apartment right next to the woods and I keep getting the weirdest insects in my home (Mostly spiders) but as of lately I have been getting these weird looking things by my windows and I want to know what they are and what do they do or can do? to me or my cat (Who eats everything)


Here is a picture of one attached to a lamp that is near the window

Does it have a light on it's ass? I find it hard to believe someone would have a problem IDing a lightning bug. AFAIK they're harmless if eaten. I think my cats have. As a kid, I used to pull their lights off, and put them on my fingernails. Feel kind of bad about it now.

Well I have never seen one up close before and to my defense it was not lit up at the time (Maybe it needs a new bulb:colbert:)
