This is almost exactly the opposite of what you think it is - it is actually from a burrowing animal, so instead of flying, it is actually burrowing into the sub-surface liquifaction layer of the sand …

This is definitely a tick. If it were a spider it would appear that the legs all come from a central point, as spider bodies are separated into segments, whereas tick bodies are not. There are two ma …

While it is difficult to say for sure without a higher quality photo, I am almost certain this is a spider. This is because spiders have clear definition between the head and the abdomen, with an obvi …

This is almost certainly one of the Dermestidae, known as skin bugs or carpet beetles. …

An additional suspect besides the tick family is another member of the Acari - mites. There are a number of mite species that affect humans, the most common and well known of which is the Scabies Mi …

The long and the short of it is no. Most insect repellents against biting insects (e.g. mosquitoes) work either by confusing the insect by blocking the scent receptors (e.g. Picaridin, DEET), or by ki …

This is almost certainly a tick of some sort. Which tick it is, is hard to say without a close (macro) photo and knowing where in the world you are. If you have found a number of them on bedding, it i …
