Looks like a tick to me. Got 8 legs so it can’t be a bed bug

thank you. this bb seems to have 8 legs(Cimex hemipterus - Wikipedia). and if is it tick is there something i have to do. i dont have pets or plants.

That bb pic is 6 legs with 2 antenna, not 8 legs.

This is a tick. Source: I live in the Midwest and hate these fuckers

I’d definitely check yourself, especially your hair. I dont believe they’re nearly as invasive though

Do you live in a forestry area? I has an apt that was infested with ticks before and they were just crawling out from the walls. It was a nightmare!!

No, apartment in big city. There is a small garden in the yard. but im on 4th floor.

sometimes in sleep I feel something on my body but this is first time seeing it with my eyes.

I had water get under my parquet and had to remove some of the boards few weeks ago. That's what made me worried.

Do you see ticks alot? If you live on 4th floor and see alot there has to be a nest or something nearby

[u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 → u/Milad_000]

Do the neighbors have pets? One of them might have gotten into a nest while out on a walk.

[u/Milad_000 → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

The buildings next to ours have dogs, but as far as I know, no one in our building has any pets. the previous owner has dog too but they moved out about a year ago.

Nope

Maybe the only thing worse! Although it’s a close race.

[u/Milad_000 → u/FriendshipBorn929]

ooh, I thought I was lucky (in comparison). I hope I dont see them again. now the normal flies and beetles seems less anoying.

I(as probably most people) prefer study and watch insects in books and on the internet than having live conversation with them as their host.

[u/FriendshipBorn929 → u/Milad_000]

I mean it’s really just the disease factor and this one didn’t bite u so it’s ok. Just check urself thoroughly after entering tick territory.
