Because they’re everywhere and they rule the world. Seriously, there are more insects on Earth than humans by a ratio of 200 million to one.
Your house is just a warm, dry cave to them. They don’t hate you—they’re just exploring. Think of them as microscopic space aliens with six legs.
Most are harmless. Carpet beetles don’t bite. Fungus gnats don’t bite. Weevils just want to eat your granola. Fleas bite, but you can usually wash them away.
The Mystery of the “Black Bite”
If you wake up with a red bump, it’s not always a bug. Could be a spider—but spiders are eight-legged friends, not enemies. Most spider bites are misdiagnosed anyway.
So don’t blame every tiny black bug for your itchy ankle. It might be a dust mite allergy. Those are invisible, which is somehow even creepier.
Dust mites are microscopic black bugs that live in your mattress. They eat dead skin. You literally sleep on a skin buffet. Amazing, right?
