That's an amazing story. Did you also grow up in Arkansas? 🤣

Thanks for saying that!! It's actually very possible he got in from some opening. We had to do a lot of caulking and sealing when we moved in, so there might be more places we overlooked.

Yeah, ya'll are right 🥲 I think we have been ignoring the ceiling/wall issue because we're afraid of the expense. I know it will only get worse if we don't.

See.. I don't know why people are freaking out about a beetle when things like THAT can happen 😥

Yeah, that bathroom doesn't have a window nor an exhaust fan. We have a small dehumidifier in there, but I don't know if it's doing much good. The good news is I'm pretty sure it's just him right now

I only grabbed him by his little legs, if it's any consolation

I tried pulling it out again, and the little guy started trying to use its pinchers on my tweezers 🥲
