A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I walked into the bathroom on the night of April 5,2015 and there were about two dozen of these little fellas aimlessly crawling around on the floor. In about 30 minutes some of them stopped crawling. They appeared to be dying. In about an hour, all of them were dead. I don't know where they came from unless they came up through the drain. I have no reason why they should do that however. The only possibility I can think of is the owners of this building were spraying for bugs outside and drove these guys away, but not before they were poisoned. Otherwise, perhaps they died from some natural biological reason. So I collected a few specimens and took these photos. I noticed that night before I went to bed that a gecko had gotten into my bathroom. The next morning all the dead bugs left on the bathroom floor were gone. I suppose the gecko had one heck of a banquet that night. My only guess is that maybe these are some kind of small termites. Of course they may be some kind of roach too I suppose.
Found in bathroom
These guys were between 4 and 7 mm long.
