To ask WTF this is?

[ZiggZagg]

Seen a few over the years (just like one every 6/7 months) they creep me out!! Shall I burn my house down?

Squish him or ignore him. You're way bigger than him. He thinks you're fucking Godzilla.

It's a beetle, they wander inside through windows or doors. Scoop him up and send him on his way back outside. If you have bushes or plants near your home you'll get bugs. Part and parcel of summer

Oh thought it may have been a cockroach, I flushed him down the toilet

He thinks you're fucking Godzilla

That's no way to describe ZiggZagg's partner!

I may have drunk too much because that took a minute to sink in. Now trying not to disturb the household PMSL

If you were infested with cock roaches you'd see them more often than 1 every 6 months, but to put peace of mind put ant powder down round the edges of skirtings. But it more likely came in the windows looking for water to drink as its been warm

Well he went down the toilet so definitely got some water. Adios Ringo you poor little bugger.

Just pick him up and put him out. He came in through your open window because the light was on. A beetle can't hurt you. God forbid a maybug comes in, they're huge and noisy and utterly harmless. Honestly, how pathetic to kill a living thing by flushing it down the toilet. This is why little kids think it's OK to stamp on bugs they find at preschool.

Are we naming it Ringo? Rip Ringo, your life cut short with a quick flush, it was a quick death and may your spirit live on in the afterlife.

That's definitely not a cockroach (at least not the kind we get in the UK). We used to live in a block of flats that was riddled with them, and they had much longer 'feelers' and a kind of stripe thing down their back.

That's definitely not a cockroach. They look completely different.

Definitely Ringo but I think the insects can hear us....a spider just ran around my phone screen as I started typing then vanished. Bugs don't bother me at all (I'm the dozy fecker rescuing them usually) but not sure I fancy sharing my bed with him!

Alas poor Ringo is no more.

At least he didn't fly.

And don't put ant powder down....

Im riddled with guilt that I killed an innocent beetle to be fair I do usually put bugs and spiders back outside so I'm not a serial killer RIP Ringo GBNF!

It's a beetle FFS and totally harmless.

RIP 🙏
