For a couple months now, I've been finding these small bugs stuck to the walls in the upstairs part of my house. They're very tiny bugs, about 2mm long and 1mm wide, they are a milky white color with a teeny stripe of brown at the ends, they appear to have ridges, they do not hop or jump, they move INCREDIBLY slow (it'll be in one position one day and the next, it'll only be moved by an inch or less) I also do not see any legs or antennae. I've found them stuck to my bedroom walls individually, not in groups, on my hallway walls, my bathroom walls, behind my bed, pretty much any wall. When I kill them, I do not see any significant change on the part of the wall that they were stuck too as well. I'm not sure what they are or if they're harmful or not. Please help if you have any idea what they may be, thanks! C:

Well after reading your post and rereading it, I am kind of inclined to think they might be a larvae of some type. What you could do is place some clear or Scotch tape over one the next time you see one and tape it to a piece of clean white paper. You can take this paper to your local exterminator who will be able to tell you what it is and possibly how to be rid of them. I hope this helps you and gets rid of your bug problem.

Another place to get an I.D. would be the Biology Dept. at a local college, or in the States, the County Agricultural Extension office.

Unless you two are neighbors, what she has and what you have may or may not be the same. Again, get an authoritative I.D. before you proceed with any, I repeat ANY, corrective measures.
