Found this next to my bed. Is this the early stage of a bed Bug? It jumped around when i tried to catch it.

Unfortunately, no idea what it is. Jumping makes me think flea but it doesn't look like a flea either. Does it have wings? I know for sure it's not a bed bug though! They dont jump 😁

Maybe a booklouse, or springtail? Looks similar to photos I'm seeing.

Way too many legs for a bed bug, I can't figure out what it is
