They probably are harmless but I still don't want them crawling in my bed lol

I think its actually my camera. I have a hard time with small, close up things. I can't even get a good picture of the pygmies.

and where do you find this?

I would say there are a few possibilities on that page. Uh oh they mainly just suggest removing the source...hmm very helpful though!

I've squished probably 20 just tonight! lol I'm just getting tired of it and really grossed out because they are in my bedroom. I might just have to atleast move them to another room in the house.

yes lol you can see how tiny they are! With my untrained eye, I would definitely say they are some kind of beetle judging my their body shape and the crunch when you squish them lol.

hmm interesting but they are all over my room by now. I was wondering more about using vinegar or something like that. Thanks!

Hmm too late to back out now. Haha thanks though

I've been working on my very first enclosure for my 1.1 pair that will be arriving in a couple days. It's a 20 gallon tank with a layer of larger gravel on the bottom, a layer of organic soil, and then peat moss covering the top. In it so far are a Schleffera (spelling?), three Peperomia, and a...

Hmm thanks for all the info! I was curious because I had heard of some people doing it but maybe its not a good idea.

I could do that...but it just seems like it would be a better idea so that I can easily see what they have and haven't eaten and they will always know where to go for food.
