Insect Quiz
Welcome to the Insect Quiz page. Each month the Insect Quiz will present an insect-related problem.



While doing laundry you noticed a tiny purplish-brown creature scurry across the floor. Although it was quite small (about ¼ inch long), its long pincers made it look crab-like and somewhat threatening.

  1. What is this creature? Is it some kind of "insect?"
  2. What does it eat?
  3. Is it harmful?
  4. What can I do to get rid of them?
