We still feel more strongly that this is an Aphid. Sadly the photo is too blurry to be certain. Hi Susan,

I am fearful that I am going to have to rip it out to get rid of them, a shame too as it is a custom made bar!

The photos are a bit blurry, but I am thinking that the little insect without wings looks like a spider beetle. It's back end is very round, plus I see a bit of a shine reflecting off of it; spider beetles are shiny whereas aphids are not. What do you think? Hi Daniel.

I looked up and almost messed myself! I watched them move around on the ceiling and freaked myself out! They are VERY much alive and I swear they are waiting till night time to eat someone! They are between 1/2 and 2 1/2 inches in diameter and have the same balls on the joints. I can get a specimen if anyone wants one. My facebook is the most reliable way to reach me, Jennah Kohorst, Lima Ohio. Thanks!! :) OMG! yes, I found a few hundred of these in my mothers basement today when I was down there sealing cracks!
