Something is in my house
Hello, how are you doing?I hope you are all fine
I have a little problem...
Today i saw a creature (looked like an insect to me ) going under my couch.It was black in the size of my palm, circular and it was very fast.I couldnt see it clearly
I think it had many legs but i am not sure because it was very fast
Then me and my friend saw it leaving the couch and going to the kitchen.
My friend saw it closer and she said it was flat, but we cants say for sure because we didnt manage to see it clearly
It didnt look like a mouse or a rat , more like an insect like a spider or something but it was very circular to be a spider

Green Nature - Insects
The insects section is a beginner's guide (or enthusiast guide) for insect identification. It uses both formal and informal language to divide the topic in a somewhat orderly manner. Pictures and original video are also included.

Because of their popularity among the enthusiast class, topics such as butterflies, dragonflies and spiders are more heavily covered than other topics.

Happy bug hunting to everyone.
