            • np--Bedbugs are very fast and flattish, like a watermelon seed. They don't hang around.

              • that is the exact opposite of the truth. bed bugs move very slowly. to OP - look up bed bugs on a google image search and compare a picture to what you saw. if you saw a bed bug there are thousands more where that came from and you should take measures now. it's a serious problem, way more serious than roaches.

        • it may be a beetle that like to eats cotton/linen. I've found them occasionally--harmless.

    • I see those occasionally in my apt when warm weather arrives. I still have not figured out what these bugs are. Last year, I was convinced they were living in the hardwood floors, because there were a bunch of small holes in the floors. When the exterminator came, he told us the holes were left over from previous owner's wall-to-wall carpeting. So I have no idea, but I have the same bugs. Thankfully we don't see them very often.

    • if you see any small bugs on your bedspread you should be concerned about bed bugs. check under your sheets and around the corners of matresses for more or stains that they leave behind. check behind any hanging pictures in the bedroom for small stains on the wall or bugs hiding back there. check under lamp shades. if you see small brownish specs in any of these places, there is a good chance you have bed bugs. do you ever get red pimple looking bites that itch for a day? do you itch in bed at night? call an exterminator!
