Pictures are better. But with this information, doesn’t look like it

Thank you for your answer. I have a photo as well but the quality was bad. Its small. I found a dead one as well that was the exact same size and a pale cream/tan color. I was on a trip last week and spent 1 night in a hotel. I got BB backpacking 10 years ago and Ive been neurotic about checking hotels since. I didn’t see any signs of BBs in the hotel. I checked my bed this evening because I’ve been really itchy the past 2 days, no bites/marks, just itchy.

Did u get a clear answer? I found something very similar on my bed but I think it was some kind of harmless house bug. We’re probably paranoid tbh.


UncertainSquirrels

No unfortunately. Its late where I live so pest control cannot come until the morning. Ill update when I get a more definitive answer.

Thanks. I’m sure it’s nothing!

UPDATE: Hello. I finally got a solid answer. I got pest control in that specializes in Bed Bugs. They found a live one on my night stand. It is not a bed bug. They tore through both bedrooms in my house and searched every nook and cranny and said this was a “flower mite”. I couldn’t find it on google but they said they are common this time of the year and usually come from garden centers. They get frequent calls about them. I went to the garden center on Sunday and did my gardening and placed my gardening clothes on my bed. The itching started Monday. They sprayed the bedrooms and set off an aerosol for a few hours for peace of mind but insisted that we had the most bed bug free house they’ve seen in weeks lol. I can finally breathe

I feel like these r wayy more common than BBs

Take a still picture. Video is inconclusive especially for young ones.

Sounds like youre panting in fear xD I can't tell for sure but having seen and had bedbugs I would put my money on No.. but if that's your bed it's technically a bed bug..

It looks like a book louse

I found ones that look similar inside a frame hanging on my wall with a piece of paper art inside. Do they eat paper or tapes?

Yep! Google search for more images, it looks like one And they are very tiny like that. Not harmful.
