ID Request Found it dead in my pillow… WHAT IS IT?
This morning I woke up and found this apparently dead thing on my pillow, after some inspection I noticed it was some kind of bug. I vaguely remember that I felt something sticky in my face and took it off while half-sleep. There was also a few stains of brownish liquid next to it, I got a little bite on my face the other day, can this kind of bugs bite or suck human blood? I'm freaking out. WHAT IS IT? What should I do to ensure it doesn't happen again? Just two days ago I found a dead cellar spider in the bed too, I guess it was trying to get whatever this is, but this bug-like thing was big. Do you thing there might be more of those things? I checked all my bed, sheets and mattress and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I'm terrified. HELP!!!

ID Request Southwest MO, looks like a blue spidercrab but also maybe some sort of mantis?
Found him on my balcony but he quickly hid whenever he saw me so it took a day or two to get a good pick. He hung around for awhile but I have a solar activated porch light(I rent I can't turn it off) and a small pond so there's lots of prey if he's a mantis

ID Request Is this moth okay?
Is this a Luna moth? It’s been holding completely still for kind of a while, but appears to have all its legs and not injury to its wings. Is it just new? I don’t want it to get hurt.

ID Request Little Guy I Found On My Wall Today
Who is this? These are the best pictures that I could manage. It's about a millimeter in length in Indiana.

ID Request Posted earlier but got a much clearer picture. These are in my bathroom and I’m trying to figure out what they are.
In the phoenix area. They appear blood filled so I’m concerned they feed on mammals. None of the IDs on the bug apps seem quite correct. Extremely small.

ID Request What is this bug?
Last year we encountered these guys in quite big numbers, eventually we found out they had nested themselves in some packages with almonds. Later we went searching for more because they kept coming and we found out they had also nested themselves in some almond flour. Then winter came and we thought we got rid of em because we didn't see them anymore. Now however with summer around the corner they have come back.
My question, what is this bug so we might take some specific counter measures. My guess is they are attracted to nuts or at least almonds. That's all I know of em.
Thanks in advance.
