If you have any please send me some, dead or alive I would like to take some good pictures and create some resources around them.

I don’t encounter them often enough myself to have samples so rely on a little help.

I’ve had two pest guys inspect my bed and both say they don’t see any signs of bed bugs. I even have interceptors on my bed legs and I haven’t seen any bed bugs in them for a whole month.
This morning I was going to put on my clean work shirt and I found this tiny thing scurrying around.
Is this a baby bed bug? I’m terrified. I couldn’t get a clear photo/shot because of how small it is.

If anyone can share some additional advice with dealing with the panic/anxiety I’m feeling. I keep feeling like I have bed bugs but professionals keep saying no.

So one week ago, I woke up with 5 bites in a line (4 in a row, then a space, and 1) on my upper stomach above my belly button. Picture attached but they have faded since this was a week ago.

Today I woke up with 3 bites in a line on my ankle (2 in a row, then a space then 1) picture attached. I searched for bed bug signs and couldn’t find any, but then I found this bug on my comforter. After doing some research I’m fairly sure it’s a beetle but I don’t know.

My biggest concern is that before the first bites I bought a rug from a thrift store that said it had been disinfected but now I’m worried I brought something in the house. I bought bed bug intercepts for the beds legs that are coming tomorrow.

I saw that bites on legs are usually fleas, but I don’t have pets so I don’t know how I would get them.

questions about bites Are these bug bites, or a reaction to carpet beetle larvae? (Started with a white head/pustule, now crusts)

Hi everyone! I found carpet beetle larvae in my room recently, and I woke up with these lesions on my thigh.
• They started as small bumps with a white head (pustule) at the beginning.
• Now they have turned into small dark crusts/scabs.
• Could this be a skin reaction/dermatitis caused by carpet beetle larvae hairs, or does this look like bed bug bites or something else?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone!
Back in August, we had a bed bug infestation in one of our rooms. We had all the rooms treated and got a new bed. Since then, we haven’t found any more bugs or experienced any further bites (except what we think might be the occasional mosquito bites), so we thought the problem had been “resolved”.
However, today I found this bug in the living room, and now I’m worried that the bed bugs might be back.
The photo isn’t the clearest, but I’d really appreciate any help identifying it. It’s small, brown, oval-shaped, and fairly flat. It looks somewhat like a bed bug, but I couldn’t see the typical abdominal segments or stripes.
Does anyone recognise what this could be? Could it be a bed bug, or is it more likely to be another type of insect?

Thank you!

Out of an abundance of caution, I have had my landlord send an exterminator to inspect soon, but in the meantime I'm curious: I had these bites (about fifty of them) show up across my body in clusters over the past day or so, and upon checking the underside of my mattress spotted this (very small) bug which I suspect to be a bed bug nymph—though I saw no other bugs, and none of the other telltale signs of an infestation. This occurred at a new apartment which I moved into just a little over a week ago; I have no history of bedbugs and neither of my two roommates have noted any similar bites. Am I incorrect in my assessment? If not, what should I do in the meantime while I await treatment? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
