    Not quite as cool as them also being darkling beetles.

    And if they could stop treating my house as if its their house, that’d be great.

      Wiki says that they aren’t a pest and rather eat organic debris. Sounds quite nice actually!

        I would rather them not be in the house, but i did look them up at one point so i just get annoyed, they don’t get treated to the can of bug death.

        The ones where I’m from are often over an inch long, and can spray kinda like a skunk. They’re good for the local ecosystem and they’re mostly harmless, but you definitely don’t want them in your house. If you want to look them up I think the most common name is desert stink beetle.
