   I'm sorry that i have so many posts of so many pics. i just cleaned parts of my apt and found dead bugs and casings ( i think).

   If you have time please view my entire album, if not, i found this bug crawling by my bedroom window this morning. I uploaded a pic of it earlier, but i just took another one which is clearer. Thank you so much

   Definitely not a bed bug. Looks like a type of carpet beetle.

   Thanks bedbugginNYC. I kind of thought it looked a bit like a beetle but i thought maybe this was a bb after it finished eating breakfast.

   A split down the center of the back is never ever found on BBs.

   That is an easy enough trait to spot that tosses the chances of a BB out the picture.

   Beyond not a BB I can't tell.

   Hi Jim
   I've been fighting against BBs almost every day in last months, and the number of cases is rising quickly.
   Newspapers and TV have started to talk about them, but they're still saying that's just a NY problem... lol
