We moved to a lovely house at the edge of some woods and have been inundated with all sorts of strange critters.
I am not squeemish but am puzzled by the bugs that I have been finding (mainly in the bathroom and downstairs loo)
They are very small and orangey in colour...but look similar to a prawn or crayfish!!
Have no wings..eight legs and looks like they have a sort of fanned tail end.
Anyone got any ideas at all what they might be?
Unfortunately got no photo's of them, as I flush them down the loo whenever I find them.

You may well have an infestation of grubs. They are the larvae of various kinds of lawn beetles, such as Japanese beetles, that emerge in the summer. It's unusual to find them indoors, and the earlier posts of "silverfish" may well be correct. They are found near moist indoor areas. Go online and look at sites that show pictures of bugs, such as Google with images. Once you identify the insect, then you can deal with them.

Sounds as if they could be earwigs. Silverfish tend to be grey, certainly not orange. They live in flowers and plants I suspect they have come in out of the wet. They are harmless and rare to get infestations of them

Try looking at images of insects like silverfish on the internet. You might be able to identify them.

I think its silverfish, they love damp conditions and come out usually when its dark. I dont think they cause any problems but it is a sign of damp to a degree.

I wonder if it's a baby ladybug? Kinda look like a shrimp, maybe, with orange and black stripes on it.
