These look more like the bedbugs I saw and squidged from under the mattress, described in <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/warning-frenzied-newbie-rant" rel="nofollow"> this forum post</a> in my hotel room in West London, UK, than many images and videoes of bedbugs I've since seen on Internet.
