  1. Land crab spider

Do you know why the Ground Crab Spider got this name? Of course, because of its similarity to crabs! The longer hind legs create the illusion that when they sit, they look like crabs.

Another distinctive feature of them is the ability to walk not only backwards, but also sideways, and not all spiders can do this.

  1. Six-spotted tiger beetle

The Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle is a common North American beetle species in the subfamily Cicindelinae.

As a rule, these bright beetles are most active during the day in woodlands and in the fields. Most often they can be found in spring and summer.

The common silverfish (from the English. Silverfish) is a small wingless insect from the order of bristle-tails, often living in houses or in food warehouses. They feed on plant foods containing starch or polysaccharides; their diet may include sugar, flour, glue, bookbinding, paper, photographs, starchy fabrics. From the warehouse, they can be brought into the house through the purchase of toilet paper or cardboard boxes with paper napkins. They are harmless to humans and pets and do not carry diseases, but they can spoil damp paper.

  1. Common flycatcher

The common flycatcher (from English House Centipede) is a predator that hunts flies, cockroaches, termites, spiders, silverfish, fleas, moths and other small arthropods. Flycatchers kill their prey by injecting venom and then eat it.

The common flycatcher is active both day and night. Compared to other centipedes, it moves very quickly, developing a speed of up to 40 cm per second. During movement, the flycatcher raises the body on long legs. She has excellent eyesight, which at her speed makes her an excellent hunter. She often sits on the walls of houses and sheds, where she chases flies, crickets and other insects.

They usually inhabit damp areas under your home, but don't be surprised if you find one creeping out of the bathroom drain.

  1. Edge

Bugs (Leaf-footed bugs) are medium to large bugs, from 7 to 40 mm. Their body shape is very diverse, although in most of the abdominal sides are spread and protrude from under the elytra.

Most are herbivorous (some of them are agricultural pests), and predators are also found. They are also capable of making loud, frightening sounds during flight.

  1. Bristletail

Bristletail (from English Jumping Bristletail) is a terrible dream in reality. This beetle looks like the love child of the silverfish and some kind of lobster. Most often they can be found under trees, leaves and stones. These little monsters can also jump.

  1. T-shirts

T-shirts (from English Oil Beetle) are medium and large beetles, reaching from 12 to 30 mm in length. The wings are absent, the elytra are greatly shortened. These beetles have sexual dimorphism, which consists in the size of the female and the male (the female is larger than the males) and in the antennae of unusual shape.

  1. Robberfly

Ktyri (from English Robberfly) are predators that prey on various insects. Sometimes another game can become their prey. The aggressiveness of the whips is so great that they come into battle with such well-armed insects as bees, wasps, and horse beetles.

You will hear these bugs long before they come close to you. All because of the noise they make.

  1. Conifer seed bug

Conifer Seed Bug - These beetles originally came from the West. During the flight, they are capable of making an annoying buzzing noise. But that's just one of the reasons New Yorkers can't stand these insects.

  1. Wheel bug

This species is one of the largest land beetles in North America, reaching up to 38 mm in length. Wheel Bugs prey on caterpillars and other beetles, which they pierce with their beak to inject salivary fluids that dissolve soft tissue. They are most active in daylight, although they can exhibit predatory behavior at night in light-lit places.
