If you can upload a clear photo of the thing you found, I can help identify it.
Try to include:
- A close-up image
- Something for scale (coin, pen, fingertip)
- Whether it was moving, alive, shedding, or left a stain
- Where on the bed you found it (sheet, mattress seam, pillow, etc.)
Common possibilities include:
- Bed bug
- Carpet beetle larva
- Tick
- Spider
- Seed/husk/debris mistaken for an insect
- Droppings or shed insect skin
A photo will make identification much more accurate.
