Bug I.D. Please

Yesterday we caught two bugs in our house and three more this evening.

Mrs Shiney thinks that the ones she caught, and threw out, were like this one that we've just caught.

This looks like a vine weevil beetle to me. Am I correct?



The one I caught yesterday was about the same length but wider and rounder and, from memory, a shiny black - but not a cockroach. Any ideas?

 

We got another one about five minutes after having started this thread.

Any idea whether we should kill them or liberate them? At the moment they are in storage

 

Don't think it's Vine Beetle purely by googling images (I'm no beetle expert). They look harmless to me, I'd let them go. I reckon it's to do with the heatwave and will be coming out of those fields at the back of your garden. Last weekend our front door was covered in small black midges just for one day, something about the colour must have attracted them.

 

They have now been released. Thanks everyone.

They're quite big boys, or girls, at about 1" long.

We're not sure how they could have got indoors.

 

We released them 20ft from the house and they made a bee(tle) line straight back to wards the house . So we moved them 300ft from the house

 

Just got another one running across the floor of the lounge! We don't know where they're coming from . The doors out to the garden are double glazed upvc and the floors are concrete .
