Unfortunately, this was found in the garage, no longer alive.
Caught in bathtub, released outside.
I found this gecko on my ceiling and put it into a cup before releasing it into my backyard.
This little guy scurried through my classroom
I saw this animal in a room. It ran out of a crack in the roof. It ran on the wall. It stuck to the wall.
Looks like a Western drywood termite to me, but the species hasn't been observed in Louisiana so maybe this is something else?
Seek app suggested Eleodes sutralis but experts please weigh in
This appears to be Polyphylla comes based on comparing with pictures on bug guide. They're big beetles, I'm guessing this one was around 2.5 centimeters long (a little more than one inch). They will vibrate and buzz as a warning when disturbed - I've added a sound file.
Inside my bedroom window. Fingernail for scale (<1 cm long).
