I have a legit phobia of bugs!! I hate them!! I need to know what kind of bug this is, I can't even be in my room! I was sitting in my room, lights off, TV on, on the cellphone with my boyfriend. It's 3:05 AM, keep that in mind, and I look over at my blinds. There's a bug on my blinds!! It LOOKS like an over sized ant!! It's legit the size of one of the rows of the blinds!! I could see the legs on it just barely with the lights off! I asked my boyfriend about it, he knows about my phobia (now he does, anyways) and he told me to throw something at it. Well, I had a fear of throwing something at it and then having it fall and hit the ground. Thinking I could see it better, I get up and turn on the lights. It's crawling through the strings that twines through the holes in the blinds. After it gets out (and at this point I'm standing on my bed, attempting to get a better view of it) it starts to fly toward the light!!! It's NOT a praying mantis or a grasshopper, I already know that! It did NOT look like it had pinchers. Maybe it had for legs in total? I couldn't tell completely. When it flew towards the light, it kind of looked like it was hanging it's head down as it went. It didn't look like it had a stinger, either. HELP! What kind of bug could this be??? I'm terrified, legit crying, and my boyfriend can barely even keep me calm.

I think its a clicker bug, they are harmless but i do agree kinda scary wben they get that large, throw a sheet or something over it, that way it cant fly at you, then make sure its secure in the sheets and throw it outside or, if you want to kill it get bleach or fabulouso or windex etc and spray it on it lol, best of luck, and try to think of it as a fake, ....

This bug could possibly be and Oil Beetle. They are BIG ant like bug that are 1-2 inches long and can grow to be about 1 inch wide. I've had one of these on my room before and I screamed bloody murder because I am terrified of bugs.



I hope this helped :)
