Night Time Visitors - Golem?

These guys have been have been hanging around my apartment at night. Are they attracted by the lights? I hear you ask. Yes they are after a free meal. Beetles and moths are on the menu. I think they look like Golem from the Lord of the Rings. They are a kind of fleshy colour and have big eyes. When they see you they scurry off with their tails flapping in circles. They are funny little critters. The Japanese name for these is "Imori or Yamori".

They are funny little buggy-eyed thingys. They are so crazy when they run as their tails spin in a circle because they are going so fast. I thought one ran off the balcony and plunged to its death. I was surprised to find that it had just stuck to the underside of the balcony with its sticky little pads. Their faces remind me a bit of ..... you.
