Black Bugs

Hi all .. i have a lot of black coloured bugs out side on my white window frame .. they are about the size of the head of a match stick .. but probably a little smaller .. most just sit about on the frame .. they move so slowely that you would have to watch them for ages to notice any movement .. a few of them hang by silky threads .. ive never seen these before and wondered if any of you guys and gals can help .. they are more bulbous one end than the other .. sort of taper off if you see what i mean .. ive been picking them off all week but the next day they are back in numbers .. thanks for any help .. Michael

 

I'd be interested to see a picture.

 

Pete my camera will not focus down to half inch .. the bugs are still there albeit not so many now as i have been getting rid of them on a daily basis .. this cold weather does not seem to affect them at all ..

 

Do you still get Pollen Beetles around at this time of year? (anybody who grows Sweet Peas should be familiar with them) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meligethes_aeneus

I'm assuming they've got tangled in some spider's web.

 

Do you live in the countryside and is there any chicken farmers near by, as some times there are black bugs in chicken poo, if they are hauling the poo and tipping it out side and when it rains the bugs will look for somewhere to go where it's dry, just a thought i may be wrong

 

They sounded too small for litter beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) but if it is those be careful with them .......

 

Hi all .. Scrungee these bugs make their own silk thread .. but not all of them < just a few > .. .. most crawl about < really slowely > on the uvpc window sill and the frame sides .. Jiffy i dont live any where near a chicken farm .. im going to have a look on google ..and will let you know if i find the Bug thats been bugging me ..
Christmas is coming ...
