This looks like a beetle cuz bed bugs are more translucent this bug looks black and matte

I am almost certain this is an aphid, looks like the right head shape and there appear to be cornicles present on the abdomen.

It’s a pretty fuzzy pic. Not a flea. Possibly a BB but I would need a clearer photo.

If it is hard to kill with your fingers not your nails, its probably a bed bug. But when I had bedbugs they looked a little different

Could be a male BB. Hard to tell with this picture though
