I'm really not seeing anything mentioned in this thread that's definitive yet. Gotta match the nasty legs too.

*scratches head*

I haven't seen any of them since my last post, but I've been making sure the door is never open for more than a second.

Thanks :D

Sony DSC-V1, arguably the last real prosumer P&S they made (well, and the V3).

Wow, talk about jinxing myself, I just killed one fucking around by my P182's HDD activity light. I'm getting very sick of these, WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY AND WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?!

Just as in tower defense, the next swarm will be more resistant (to PCI slot hits).

WHAT THE FUCK. A random one just flew by me! And I couldn't kill it in time, now I can't find it anywhere. I have a cold, I need my sleep, instead I'm sitting around listening for it so I can squash it :(

I swear those are Junebugs. I see them all the time in the summer. They're so clumsy that they bump into everything, including you (and man is it scary when it happens in the dark) and then they struggle from getting off of their backs.

When they get on their backs it seems like they might never get over again lol. They're a retarded bug and I don't believe they serve any useful purpose. I don't think Ladybugs do either, but they're at least nice to look at and don't fly around like they're drunk.

Ladybugs eat aphids, so they're good for gardeners.

Not a junebug, this is a junebug

No way Jose that's a Japanese Beetle, a Junbug looks like (goes finds link)

linky - they're smaller, brownish red and blind as hell.

Where I come from this is a june bug. And this is a japanese beetle. I've seen the bugs in your pic but usually only at night.

As for the bug in the OP, I don't know what the hell that is, but it is a nasty looking effer! I think it may be attracted to that funky dog hair carpet, it seems to blend in with it like camo.
