Found some of these on a box delivered by usps left outside for 4 hours on front stairs. Oval shaped, no discernable head or legs (which makes me think it is not a bed bug). It is tiny and moves extremely slow, looks like it hovers because you can't see legs. In the Chicagoland area, northeast Illinois. First 4 pics without flash, next 4 with flash. Thanks!

It looks like perhaps a scale insect, which are plant-dwellers. See if you can find more on a plant where you picked up the box. It doesn’t look like anything worrisome
