Potential Bed Bug?
Location: Wales, United Kingdom
February 23, 2012 8:33 pm
I just found this little bug idly relaxing on my blanket on my bed, and am just wondering what it is exactly. I’m worried it might be a bed bug, as I’m really not able to afford a professional exterminator right now.
Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy.

Dear feelingbugged,
The good news is that this is not a Bed Bug.  The not so good news is that it is another bloodsucker, a Human Louse.  You might want to refer to this excellent fact sheet on Human Lice from Penn State.
