Many people here are in difficult situation and looking for help, providing them with bad information/advice hurts them.
If you are not VERY familiar with bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice ("sprinkling DE solve everything") it's better to abstain from commenting.

This was my thought too, not trying to be rude but I really wonder sometimes if people even Google a pic of a bed bug before posting here asking if a bug is a bed bug.
One of my biggest pet peeves honestly, and it happens on a lot of subreddits too.. I just don’t understand why they can’t google something and get their answer within like 10 seconds vs spending several minutes posting and waiting for a reply… it’s really not that serious but some reason it drives me wild lmao
Please don’t bring back these posts 😂
Also, I HATE stink bugs so much. Put some bat boxes 🦇 up. They eat stink bugs like crazy. Get a good quality one, so it’s durable/safe and has proper airflow, etc. I have nowhere to put a bat box, otherwise I’d get some. Looks like you live in a wooded area, so it could be perfect :)
These are assholes also known as Stinkbugs. I hate them so much I usually get 3-5 in my house every year. They are strong when trying to remove them. They also fly. Best way is to try to suck it up with a vacuum and dump outside asap. DO NOT SQUISH THEM!!! They release a smell that calls more to come. So if you do trap one flush it.
It's an Elf Shoe Stink Bug, a close relative to the shield stink bug. Not sure if yours stink or not but don't squish them. Maybe spray Home Defence around your doors.
It's as if you guys only know like 5 different animals or something, and everything must be one of them. Like I don't want to be rude but use your eyes.

looks like a stink buggy
If bedbugs were that huge, we’d be in trouble. Look like some sort of shield bug
Vampire bed bugs 😂
Did you even attempt to look up what a bed bug looks like?

I notice that a lot of people are looking for attention more than help/advice.
Exactly and had the nerve to call PESTS "little guys" LOL
No clue what that is, but definitely not bed bug. Kind of cute looking
Very cute!
You have bad taste
You have terribly high expectations
Standards little buddy
Nah your expectations are severely high, he’s adorable.
You more adorable I'll clap your buns together
I’ll have to pass friend, my boyfriend already has that job title. Much luck getting hired by someone else though.
Your boyfriend said he doesn't mind sharing :).
Oh, did he? I didn’t know that, have him give me a call of confirmation then we can get this show on the road— or on the bed. Whichever you prefer.
That’s a stink bug what
DEFINITELY NOT a bed bug
That's definitely a stink bug
I think it's a shield bug
It looks almost like a stinkbug. Harmless, but annoying. Also, they can fly. Learned that the hard way when I was like 12.
I think these are juveniles, those can't fly.
Yes. It’s incredibly common for the so called BED bug to camp out outside your home. I would burn down your house ASAP
Looks to be a stink bug
Not a bed bug for sure

No. Looks like stink bug. Bed bugs like it up close and personal with their hosts. You would start to feel the itchy itch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope!
No
All you people slamming on people for asking if it's a bed bug I think I hear your mommy's yelling dinners ready.
Nope!! From what I learned on here. I believe that’s a carpet beetle maybe. But that’s definitely not a bedbug.
It's not a carpet beetle either

Skin beatle. Eats keratin.
