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.

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.

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.
