What insect is this?
Sure looks like an Eastern cone-nose beetle or assassin bug. Anyway,
these can end up hiding under/between mattresses and such, coming out
while you sleep to enjoy a meal of blood. After becoming sensitized to
their bites, anaphylactic shock is possible. Call an exterminator? Tom

Dear Experts,
Lately, I've been noticing some insects in my home.
On the second floor for the most part.
Here are some pictures of them:

They move slow around the room. Sometimes they fly.
But for the most part, they just walk around.
Rather slowly. Not like a swift housefly. I
can snag them with a tissue pretty easily.
What kind of insects are these?
How do I get rid of them?
Thanks a lot!
