Hello all,
It’s my first post as I am desperate to know exactly what is this. Everything was fine then I traveled for a week returned to find a lot of these in the bedroom I could count 14 already.

You've got what look like 2 different species of beetles. There's a resident Coleopterist that might positively identify them.

Greetings,
I'm quite sure the beetle in the first video is a spider beetle in the genus Gibbium. I believe there are at least a couple of species that are cosmopolitan in distribution.
The beetle in the second video - the twitching one - looks like some species of Tenebrionidae.
Where are you located, and about how big is the "stunned" species?
Cheers!
Bandrow

Happy it ain’t a tick, although the room is full of it  Second one I am not sure because it is very small. It’s tiny, 0.5 inch in length (1.2cm) Located in cairo, Egypt. |
