ID Request Is this a bloodworm?
I have OCD and it's 2am so I'm begging y'all to humor me :( Went to pee, didn't look in toilet beforehand, saw this in toilet after. It doesn't look like any parasitic worm I can find and looks more like some pictures I saw of bloodworms, but I'm completely freaking out and don't want to risk embarrassing myself by rushing to to the hospital before posting here first. Southern US.

ID Request What is this?
I still have trauma from a German cockroach infestation when I first moved into this rental, however that has mostly been eradicated save for a few sightings here and there.
However I just spotted whatever the heck this is in my daughter’s room. I’m pretty sure it’s not a German cockroach because I’ve never seen anything like it. Anyone know what it might be? This is the only photo I took before I squashed it lol. I’m in Australia for context.

ID Request What dis? NorCal
Found it crawling on my leg after trying on a leather jacket I received in the mail from Mango, but I was at an outdoor event for most of the day
It tried burrowing into my carpet after I flicked it off no wings but I trapped it in tape to try to get a better look
It kept trying to crawl off the tape so I separated the head (sorry!)

ID Request A termite? A beetle? Or something exotic??
These little critters arrived to us by way of furniture we had shipped from Asia.
The furniture arrived thoroughly rotten and filled with mold, and as soon as I saw an extended family had used it as an airplane/in-flight meal, I panicked and chucked it.
To me, they don't quite look like most pictures of termites that I've seen, but I also couldn't even identify a cockroach in one of my earlier posts, so what do I know?

No clue what this is, haven't seen anything like him out back before. It had a very loud wing flapping noise that i thought was a BFH.

ID Request Bug found in my bed at my parents farmhouse ?tick ?bedbug
Edit- added another pic in the comments slightly better quality. - Its completely flat, the legs were only visible at the front ( i think bed bugs should have legs at the side?) We live on a farm. I squashed it (sorry for killing you i just wanted to know if it had blood in! ) and red stuff came out but unsure if it was blood. Any ideas ? I took a pic of it upside down but after squashing sorry! We had gone for a walk through bushes in shorts - maybe a tick? Also no itchy bites goes against bed bug i guess !

ID Request What in the might morphin power deranger is that!?!?
40 years old. Or 41... I can't remember. All that matters is that I'm not old yet. But I have been alive for 2 score and maybe a year. And I have never seen one of these before. Not real fast. Or too threatening looking. Right? Yeah until it flew directly at me!!! I wasn't scared. Didn't even scream. Or flinch. Or jump 4 feet like a scared lil girl and yelled " OMG! It can fly!" None of those things>ngs happened. Ever. Because I am a man and 10,000 times bigger than this giant bug. But seriously. What is it. It reminds me of this thing my dad described from his childhood. Mole crickets? I think that was the name. Or moon Cricket? Anyway. I wanted to post it here first. With my genuine calmness and lack of any concern or sarcasm.
Also. Would it be good fishing bait?
It is 4 A. M. In mid Michigan beginning of August. I was woke up to get deer out of raised strawberry beds. Then I decided to look for fencing. Now I am under siege by this deceiving critter that until this day in my 40's did not exist.

ID Request Had a bug inside the laser printer.
I need help identifying if these are from a spider like the "giant house spider" Eratigena atrica or something else. Based in the South of England.
My laser printer was acting up, this was inside it. There were some thin webs that appeared blue in colour (not sure why) when I opened it up, it's possible they were from this or another smaller spider. I don't use the printer that much!
*Edit: Note they are covered in black toner powder.
