What is this bug ? Found when cleaning around my parrot seed food

Found in Midwestern United states

Found a friend

I named him Pip

What are these guys doing in my apartment bathroom?

About the size of a centimeter. Found three already.

Buffalo, NY. Need help, it's stuck in my house.

I think it's a mantis but I don't know for sure. It's big and I'm terrified of it, but I want to get it out peacefully.

San Jose, California

Centimeter measuring tape next to it for comparison. I've seen a few of these around the house. Should I be worried?

What bug bit me?

Found this on my floor

Is this a flesh fly? N. California

Was crawling on my leg.

On the bathroom carpet

What is this thing and why is it jumpy and cuddling beside me
