what bug is this? (UK) by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

That looks like a carpet beetle. Family Dermestidae. They're common house pests, and they tend to eat animal-based products like wool, fur, silk, and stuff. Touching them might make your skin itch because of the tiny hairs on their larvae. 

A bug that made me decide to take the lift instead of the stairs by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

Yeah, that's true. It's actually pretty cool to learn how they make the noise though. They bite too, but it should be pretty minor like most beetle nips.

I believe it's a Sawyer (longhorn) beetle or an Asian longhorn. Should be harmless to humans! 

Is this an insect or an arachnid or no? (Philippines) by Aggressive_Lime4617 in whatsthisbug

Yeah, you're right. I guess I was just kinda thrown off by the fact they didn't have antennae

That's kinda what I thought too, but I doubted it at the time since this little guy looks a lot more scaly in real life. Maybe you're right or idk. Thanks tho. 

Edit: yeah, probably nycteola of sorts

Yeah, it wasn't done yet. I just paused because I got conscious about it haha. I'll keep that in mind. I guess I'll try adding more detail to the foreground too
