So i found a weirdo little insect (hexapode) this evening on my carpet near the door to the balcony. I have NO clue what this little creature belongs to. I made a simple drawing to show what it looks like. Color is whitish to sandy, the extremities are not very distinctive (like for common hexapodes), looks like they are covered with little dust particles or so, it can move very quickly (approx. 2-3 cm/s), not as fast as a jump spider, but still very impressive for such a small guy (or gal  )
i´m on the third floor, house is nearby a small beck
anyone has an idea?

hmmm, entomology was my gig in a life long ago but from the drawring it kind of looks like 2/3rds of all insects...grab a photo? If you saw one you KNOW there are hundreds more teeming away in your walls, carpet, etc...heh
I had to think a sec to remember wtf a beck was, however what sort of structure areya in? i dont know how proportionately accurate the rear legs are, the look pretty huge, but if the antennae are as you've drawn em with the bases and all then its cerambicid-lookin'...hard to say tho.

Whatever it is, I'm sure really poisonous. Not to alarm you, or anything.

That's a brain wig. They like to lay clusters of eggs in people's ears while they sleep.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Your drawing doesn't have enough detail for anyone to know. Post a picture next time.

Dude! Get out of there now! That thing's super poisonous! Call an extermonator and tell them you have a i-mofruckinmorin infestation! They'll know what to do!

I'm no expert in doctorology or nothin', but I'd say what you've got there is a bug. I'd stake my professional reputation on it!

That's what a chupacabra looks like in the day time, at night it's a different story.

This could only look like a turd to someone who craps twigs.
Isn't that some kind of chrysalis?
Are you sure it was crawling around?

This whole thread had me laughing, especially the brain wig. Thanks, guys.
On topic: that's a very normal looking bug. Step on it.

Deal is if my results are positive all bets are off. If you're willing to take that risk meet me out back in 20 min.

What Gossamer doesn't realize is that SWG's Gaydar is his penis, and when he says zap, he means, insert into rectum.
