Hi everyone, i need some help identifying this little bugger from sunny Singapore. My estate is surrounded by trees, i assume they live there or at least somewhere nature.

They've been invading my house and laying eggs in holes that they come across and sealing them up with soil/dirt. The last picture is of my dehumidifer: sealed, hatched and the mess. My bookcase shelf holes, door's peephole, random screw holes are sealed by them. Once they even tried to fly into my ear and nose. Eek!

I hate to squash bugs but whenever i chase them, they out beat me and will head directly out the windows and come back some time later. Very smart creatures and they can remember my interior layout. They don't respond to insecticide either. I need to at least know their name before i can find out how to keep them away :(

The photos are not of high quality, that's the best i can do after trapping it between my window panes. The body is of a metallic green tinge.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
