What is this!?
 

Hey guys whats up. This morning I woke up to this crawling up my bed from my banana plant. I''ve never seen this in my life. Could anybody help me identify this?? It seems to have 2 antennas and 6 legs.

Is it round or flat??

Re: What is this!?
 

I would say its round vertically and horizontally it has a tear drop shape which tapers off towards the head….


I keep on seeing red dots and almost smaller versions of this moving on the saucer here and there when I lift the pot off of it.

Go to Google..... use keyword "reddish brown bug in my bed in New York"
and you might have your answer..:)
It looks more of a pantry insect.
Does not appear a bedbug!!!!

Not a clue what it is. Sheesh! After battling 2 or 3 pinkie rats for 9 months left behind by the former snake loving owners (obviously these escaped being dinner) that even ate through boxes of chicken broth and dined on my rooted tomato sucker, I would never consider having a plant in my house again.

Though I've never seen one, I agree that it's probably not a bedbug. Here in FL I get a few wannabee roomies every now and then. Besides Mickey, Minnie and possibly/probably whoever, in the past year I've had 1 big roach, some ants, a few spiders, many lizards who wander in to investigate and a skink who must have loved my shoes because he/she was always in my closet. I've found that yelling at them while shooing them to an exit helps and when that doesn't I use wasp spray. Now that you've captured its image for prosperity and ID purposes, kill it; I doubt there are more.

Looks like Mezium affine beetle

Common indoors where you live. Household pest that comes inside during the winter often.

I think I've figured out what is…Its called a red spider beetle..

Could these lay eggs in soil?
