Post a pic for hopeful ID, wait 1 week and then let it have access to your skin again. 99% chance in that scenario it will bite you if a BB or any other blood sucker.</p> <p>Jim </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/behaviour-of-nymphs#post-59306 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:08:37 +0000 caryss 59306@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Twice in the past week I've turned back my sheets to find what kind of looks like a nymph (it's hard to tell from photos, especially since they're small) in my sheets. I'm nervous we have bedbugs. However, I thought the behaviour of these bugs was unlike that of bedbugs, so if someone could either confirm or ease my fears, I would be very appreciative. I am going to try to collect a sample for identification, but in the meantime...</p> <p>1.) Both times I found these bugs I was JUST going to bed. The lights in my room had been on for the evening and it wasn't very late at night (midnight maybe).<br /> 2.) Each time I found one, I let it sit on my hand to see if it would bite, but it didn't.<br /> 3.) They weren't clear, but reddish/brown - they couldn't possible have "fed" already (I hadn't gotten into bed yet), but perhaps their colour was still up from feeding the night before. Is this possible?</p> <p>So, given the above, could anyone help?</p> <p>Thank you!! </p>
