I've found several approx. 1/4 " long, off white oval shaped with a black worm-like appendage that emerges from either end and seems to move via this; no wings, no legs and seems to stick to everything - my house, garage, screens, pool. Have looked at hundreds of insects on line, nothing comes close. I am in southwest Florida. Could you please identify this insect and how do I get rid of them? Thank you!

A live worm like being in a cover that looks like a dried piece of lawn cutting, sticks to our stucco, screens and lay on rug of our patio just outside our kitchen patio door. The 1/4"worm-like being extends from both ends of soft beige/gray casing about 1/2 to 1 inch long.

I've found several approx. 1/4 " long, off white oval shaped with a black worm-like appendage that emerges from either end and seems to move via this; no wings, no legs and seems to like to blend in with the grout in the bathroom. Have looked at hundreds of insects on line, nothing comes close. Am in southwest Florida. Could you please identify this insect? Thank you!

There are thousands of these flying insects covering my shed . There about a half in. Long, one has a red backside with a black front portion ,others are all black. I think this could determine the sex.

What are the small worm-like things that die quickly and are brittle and fall off into little sections when you pick them up. They curl into a donut shape also.

Your Gallery is full of beautiful shots. I am really impressed by your selection and shots of your insects. It's hard to say which one I like the most because they are all so good.

Mark, are you in south Florida?
mark sivik 01-Jun-2012 01:18
those sri lanka weevils are the same ones that feasted on the leaves of my Loquat trees. I picked off thousands of them. and days after I could pick off another thousand weevils. They just ate the leaves and I didn't notice any damage to the fruit.
Guest 15-Apr-2012 00:41
I'm impressed!
