Approximately 5mm in size, with a brown egg capsule and a brown-green, slightly shimmering shell, found under a seat cushion. Is this a pest? Thank you in advance for your help!

Loading...Somehow I'm currently crazy :,) I got home from my short vacation and sat down in my bed. Something crawled right toward me. I was startled and immediately hit it. I didn't even know what it was at the time. I'm not afraid of spiders and am all for catching them and getting them out….
This cheeky beetle is eating its way into our WDVs facade. It seems delicious. When you try to pull it off, part of the beetle remains in the wall. What is that???
This beetle bit me through my socks. Barely visible swelling after a few days. Has wings, the trunk is close to the underside of the body and can jump. Thank you very much for your help.
So afterward, I stretched my leg muscles, etc., and then suddenly my right leg became about 1cm shorter? So it's functional! What should I do? Can this be removed again?
I found this beetle today on a cushion on our patio. Does anyone know him? Best regards, Tillmann

Forest damages are not household damages – they live in bushes and shrubs, feed on rotten plant material, so go after a few days in the house lacking food itself. You don’t have to do anything against her. They do not go to food, nor do they transmit any diseases.
Flying gratings at the windows are enough, because they prevent these forest scrapes from coming into the house. ;
Thank you for the effort! A similarity is definitely there. The head is, however, quite clear black. In addition, the shape of the body is slightly triangular. Do you have any other ideas?

I’m sure it’s my forest treasure that doesn’t always look the same – please compare these:

DANKE!!! Have questioned Google again and some photos actually match my pet. I am calm and hope that the poor forest treasure will forgive me for taking them in captivity. Now it’s going to be happy with her

You can scare – and in the future you know how they can look.
