Bed bug identification resources:
Note: flattened body, rusty brown coloured (less so in younger nymphs, which are more translucent). Thin 4 segmented antennae. 11 segmented abdomen. Short legs (6 of them) and reduced wings incapable of flight.
These are insects or other invertebrates commonly misidentified as bedbugs!
Not bed bugs.
Note: If it has wings or more than 6 legs, it is not a bed bug. Do not mistake antennae for legs, look at the illustrated guide to avoid confusion.
Please comment with any other common mis-IDs and I will add them!

I should note I’ve recently been bringing in bouquets of fresh cut dahlias and they usually bring some little critters into my apartment. He was about the size of two chia seeds.

Felt something weird on my hand after taking a nap on the couch.
It's really tiny; just a tad wider than an armhair.
Didn't think to get a picture of it on my hand as I instantly wanted distance.🫠
i keep waking up with big bites that itch for almost a week at a time, finding little brown things in my bed that i thought were bits of leaves that my dog brought in, and now i just found this on my blanket. are these things related? i haven’t seen any other bugs. help!

I inspected every crevice and see nothing that would make me think there is bedbugs or anything bug like. It could just be dirt.

I’m so scared rn. I don’t think it’s a bedbug but now I’ve scared myself into needing reassurance about it. There was only one and I tore my whole bed apart for more, checked underneath and everything.. washed all blankets and such. Only this one. Any idea what it is?? :(

We found bed bugs in our home and pest control has sent us this prep list before they come to treat.
I understand what to do about clothes and bedsheets, but what about all the stuff in my home? It says to declutter and remove everything but where? Does it have to be out of the apartment? And what if it can’t be washed or dried on high heat? Isn’t there a possibility that it could then still carry bed bugs? We have so much stuff that it terrifies me thinking about the fact that we have to empty every single unit.
Also what about our shoes??

антисептик сможет их всех убить? мне страшно. я видела пару таких скоплений в достаточно доступных для меня местах, но боюсь, что они могут прятаться там, куда я не смогу добраться.. мне страшно. я наклеила двухсторонний скотч на ножки раскладушки на которой сплю, но боюсь что ничего не спасет от этих тварей. так то они не особо тут ползают но одного видела. может есть способ не дать им себя покусать хоть какое то время..

I woke up with bites yesterday that I am almost 100% are bed bug bites and more today. I did stay in a hotel about a week and a half ago and my husband doesn’t have any bites. I am obsessively checking our mattress but I can’t find anything. What are my next steps? Do I just watch for more bites and keep checking our furniture, or should I call a pest control company preemptively?

This is a paint bucket lid (black). Smaller paint buckets would be the raisers for my air mattress.

just entered my student apartment for a year, shit was hella dusty then i noticed the mattress look so freaking odd with all these smeared black stains. i'm so scared of bedbugs. i heard their droppings may look like smeared ink just like in these pictures. any opinion is appreciated. tysm

So here’s the thing, my moms home has bedbugs. They all started a few years back from my uncles home, who had a massive infestation. I don’t live in the same state, so when i would go back to visit my mom would say “there’s no more” come to find out i’m highly allergic to the bites and start itching soon after or during their feeding process. I have found and squished around 10-15 in the past 2 years. But this time, they are in my moms main home. She keeps horing eterminators and they are not fixing the problem. Is my mom just doomed to have them forever? Thank goodness i have been lucky to not bring them with me anywhere, but ever since seeing them, i have been super careful with where i put my things. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how others dealt with them in the past.

I have to travel and sleep in hotels for 3 weeks straight for work. Any tips for avoiding bed bugs when my hotel options will be limited? Im worried I wont have the option of just checking out and finding a new hotel or sleeping in my car.

My husband found a widely advertised brand it comes up in the first thing on google, I can't remember it right now. It's 30 for one. We have a studio so it's all we need, they dont go in the kitchen or bathroom. Has anyone had success with these? Bombing didn't help and the mattress cover is kinda abating them but im still getting bit. It's affecting my depression disorder. I am covered in bites and Dr has me worried about cellulitis. We washed everything too . They don't get on my husband. And it's only one side of my body really . I need help so bad. Please before I go actually off the deep end. The creams I was prescribed help a bit but I'm so sad.

Found it on my bed. What insect is this? Also should I be worried? This was the only photo I got

Does this look like bed bugs? None of the possible “bodies” I found have heads or legs and it makes me think maybe it’s mouse droppings (also gross but more manageable)? I think the dust cover used to be stapled and glued on this section so it’s possible that’s what the marks are?

yesterday morning, i woke up with rashes on one of my arms and shoulders. last night i checked under my mattress and found four of these bugs under the mattress, on my bed skirt. they were kind of spread out and not bunched up in one place. i got rid of the bugs along with bed skirt, mattress cover, bed sheets, and pillowcase last night.
i checked the entire mattress topper, the actual mattress seams, and pillowcase seams and they were all clean. i am so scared. Unfortunately, this is the only picture i have because i was too scared.
