   SO I stayed at a sketchy, cheap hotel last weekend, and about 2 days after I got home I started getting these itchy red spots, which looked a lot like mosquito bites, on my arms and back:

   The only problem is, I haven't been anywhere with mosquitos.

   There are also three bites on my back in a line (not pictured), and I read that was a telltale sign of bed bugs, so I started digging deeper. I took a quick look a look under the 4 corners of my mattress, but didn't see anything obvious. Also no dark spots on my sheets or anything. I looked a little more thoroughly today though, and found this UGLY MOFO:

   In terms of size, it was maybe 5mm long, which I heqar is also bed bug standard. So is this a bed bug? (Is it too blurry to tell in my garbage pictures?) Or should I be doing some further investigation? If so, what?

   Please help, I live in a bachelor so there's nowhere for me to hide

   Changed your title which should help attract attention to your bug pictures.
