Have got this a few times a week in my home - every time I see only one, it flies pretty low, and most of the time just seems to make a lot of noise, and stay on the floor. I end up finding (presumably that same one) dead in the next day or two, and then appears one more after a day or two more. I'm not sure if they are coming from outside, or somewhere from within the house. I'm sorry the pictures aren't of great quality - it's like a long worm with a pair of short wings attached to it. it flexes its body like a worm. Unclear but it seems to have some short legs. Can't do much when it's upside down except flap its wings vigorously and flex its body until its in the upright position, then tries to fly around a bit, hits a few things like furniture and the wall, and then goes back to flapping... Am I seeing some specific stage of development for this creature. Are they coming into my house to die and that's it? I tried to at least classify it, but nothing on the bug sites I looked at showed anything similar. Please note this is the middle east here, so I'm not sure its common in the US. Thanks in advance! |
