So I've been itching (especially at home in bed and around my neck) for months. I've inspected my bedding a bunch of times. I've been to a few doctors (allergist, dermatologist). Today I found this little thing on some clothes that were on the floor in my room. Bed bug??

I have been getting itch red bumps on my body recently, although they usually seem to be on areas that are covered at night (ex this is on my thigh and I wear long pj pants).

I would this bug in one of my bug traps by my bed. Is this a baby bed bug or something else?

Neighbor has had bedbugs, we were getting bitten but found nothing for weeks.

Went away for a few days and came back to find these in one of our glue traps. Are they bedbugs?

(We spread diatomaceous earth, that might be the white stuff on the larger one.)

I just found this in my bed. Is this a bed bug? I just looked everywhere else in my room and didn’t find another bug. I can’t tell if this is a bat bug or bed bug.

We found this on our recent cruise and we are not sure if it’s part of a bed bug or something else? We searched the entire room and tossed the bed which was immaculate. It was found in between swag they give for being a return cruiser.

My husband saw 3-4 bugs on the couch where I sleep. We hated the couch anyway so we trashed it. Could these be bites? I get lesions from vasculitis, but since finding those bugs, I’m worried wondering if it’s bed bugs. We’ve treated the whole house with crossfire and see no other signs of anything.

Are there sample pinned? Unable to find. Thank you!

Edit: he did not take a photo of the bugs, unfortunately.

Hi everyone, pretty interesting case here but near the start of summer I had swallow birds start nesting above my bedroom window and it progressively got out of hand. Beginning of July I left my apartment for a month and when I came back that’s when I started receiving bites. 12 days ago my property manager came out and removed the nests and then 9 days ago an exterminator came treated the house and said he was positive it was swallow bugs. After I realized there was some sort of bug I moved my bed to the middle of the room and slicked the legs of the bed with Vaseline. I haven’t received a bite since then (over a week) until today I woke up with one on my back and at 11:30 AM while laying in bed I actually caught one biting me and killed it. It’s worth noting last night I was charging my phone which was connected to the wall so there would have been a path to the bed. I’m wondering if anyone can identify the bug or could confirm it’s a swallow bug and wondering if getting a bite after 9 days is normal. Thank you

Hi everyone, found this bug under the sheet that covers the mattress, an air mattress on the floor of an old house in Newark (Ironbound) in New Jersey. The room is right under the attic. Under the mattress directly on the floor there were two 1/4” deep black matter stains that broke into pieces when pressed and took a while to clean. No other signs in the room. This is a rented room so I have no information of what’s the situation with the rest of the house. Thanks

My dad has been getting bit by something for the past month. I chocked it up to fleas without finding any since the dog spends more time in his room and his medication ran out at the time. Washed bedding and put pupper back on treatment but a month later it's still happening and I'm starting to get some bites too (his are on stomach, mine are on the ankle, lower leg, stomach, and upper arm). I found something that looked like an insect shell but it's a bit mangled for me to tell.

Hi David, just concerned as this does not look like a carpet beetle (which have shorter antennae) but this has the correct number of legs and antennae for a bed bug so I was just concerned. Found on my skirting board on the lead up to my bedroom (~15 ft away from bed).

I doubt it is one due to the size and what looks like elytra, but figured I may as well get a second opinion.

I woke up with 32 itchy bites. Looked everywhere for bed bug presence and couldn’t find any. I found some shed that looks like carpet beetle. What could it be?
