Strange Dust Creature Crawls Across Canadian Woman's Desk

A Canadian woman had a “mini panic” when a creature, which she thought was a fleck of dust, started moving across her desk in Ontario, Canada.

Footage recorded by Canadian content creator Alysson Forrest shows a small, bug-like creature moving across her desk in Bowmanville, Ontario.

Forrest said she cleaning her desk when a small fleck of dust suddenly started moving. She said: “This little bug started moving so I had a mini panic and thought I was seeing sh*t and so I decided to take a video because I knew my boyfriend wouldn’t believe me when he woke up.”

After recording the video, Forrest said she “smooshed” the creature because “nobody got time for that.”

The video went viral on TikTok, with several users declaring their disgust at the bug. One identified it as a Masked Hunter, an insect native to the US and Canada, which uses dust as a form of camouflage. Credit: Allyson Forrest via Storyful
