Bug Identification Please!!!

Got a bit of a bug problem here, but before I nuke them all from orbit - I need to know what they are - please help!

They're about 1cm long, and there's about 100 of them on my house

(impressed by this picture from the phone!)

Queen wasp?

100 you say?

bledd · 13 May 2013 at 13:25

Are they winged?

It's known as the "Ball fly" - it lays eggs in the testicles of mammals.

About 10 days from now you will awaken to maggots chewing out of your ball-sack.

Came in to say "in before the queen wasp meme"

Left dissapointed as I'm too slow.

Looks like a Scrotal Weevil, they lay up to 20,000 eggs in an unsuspecting male's testicles, the larvae slowly eat away the testicles, there is no known cure and the only symptom is itchy testicles.

Yeh, they can fly, but they don't really go anywhere - they just sit there winding me up.

Like GD.

Srsly tho, do need real answer at some point.
