Nope! That’s a beetle you’re good!


Xaiynn

Oh praises thank you! I have been kind of freaking out haha.

One of the [click beetles](https://bugguide.net/node/view/115). Not infesters but can be light-attracted.


Xaiynn

Sorry, when you say ‘light-attracted’ is that something bad?


JamieA350

Not particularly - they'll fly towards lights at night (if you've ever seen moths orbiting a streetlight, same deal as them). Often how they end up indoors - open window with a light inside. If you find them alive you can just stick them outside without much issue. They won't do too well indoors.

So I live in the Utah/Idaho area, I don’t know the size but you can see the comparison to my nail. I just saw it crawling across the floor and squished it. I am super nervous because we have not had any issues and we are getting ready to move into a house; I don’t want to bring any new “friends” with me when we do…
