I took apart my mattress and found a few dead bug skins, but none were as round nor as large as the photos of bed bugs on this website. I did not find any feces or eggs. I found two small bites above my knee this afternoon. If I really have bed bugs, should I expect to find many more bites on myself and more insect remains in my bedding? Hi,
