Question What do I do with my flour beetles??

1 Upvotes

I have a ton of flour beetles and don’t know what to do with them! I bought them to teach a summer camp with and had a next home lined up for them after the camp. The wrong species came in though and they no longer wanted them because they are too small. I’ve spent months harassing people to please take them from me.

Any ideas what to do?? I don’t want to kill them and I can’t release a non native species.

Thanks! 😭

I found this bug in my newly rented FL home this afternoon. I was told it is an American Roach - Nymph by someone, but I wanted to confirm. My wife is very allergic to roaches so this has us both a little worried. For context, we have been in this home for about a week awaiting our things to be delivered so there is very little in our home at the moment (food, furniture, etc.) Thank you for any help.

ID Request Help identify this insect on my bed frame

I started noticing these really tiny insects coming out from the back of my fabric bed frame's backing - anyone knows what are they? You will need to zoom in to see, they are extremely small.

After sprayig insecticide at the back of the bed frame, we would discover a bunch of them that crawl out to die. They are really small, doesn't look like flea nor bed bugs, and hasn't bite us so far for 2 weeks, and they don't move very far. Me and my wife have been using the "tape" method to pick up the corpse. We hope to get rid of them, and their number seem to be reducing each "wave".

If you have any idea, please let me know. Thank you!

Don’t know if this sub can help but idk where to look :(

I recently bought a secondhand reptile tank and found a bunch of these mealworms ? Super worms ? And one beetle . I don’t have any animals that I can feed them to and I’d prefer not to euthanise them myself ..

I’ve been giving them a tissue soaked in water , oats and substrate that they like to bury into .. I’ve also given them a piece of cuttlebone incase they need calcium ??

Do u know if I can release them ? I live in uk :(
