I found this crawling up my living room wall. PaulM identified it...now let's see how many out there can also do so.

I believe it to be plant matter of some type.

It's Yukentesis of the Boseid family. This may explain why you had to drop your xover to 40hz. One more week and you'll be down to 30hz with these guys eating up long wavelengths.

Well, I was enjoying my waffles this morning. . .


Whatever it is, it looks like it fell into a box of kitty litter.

I thought the title of this post was:
"Alan in my living room"

Man that picture had me confused \:\)

Far too irregular to be an insect. My bet is a dried piece of a flower.

Flowers and plants do not crawl up walls. And look at that freakin' claw on the right side at the top . Keep trying. Eric has come the closest with his Boseoid Yukentesis guess \:D .

It looks like a mite of some sort under a microscope.

It's some sort of inesct that carries debris around as camouflage. The top bit is the head with eyes on the side. Some of that debris looks like insect parts, so I'm going to go with brown lacewing larva.

It looks similar to the bug that was sucked out of Neo's stomach...

So when do we get to hear what this really is?

I have no guess, not even a sarcastic one.

It's a caddisfly larva.

That's all I know so far thanks to PaulM.
