Hi,
I saw these bugs under my side table and in the edges of the carpet and wall. They have vertical lines across their abdomen, so am hoping they are not bed bugs - but can someone please confirm ? I have attached images.
They were all dead when I saw them, I have had a problem before which I took care of with a LOT of effort a year ago. I still have diatomaceous earth around the legs of my bed to be cautious.
Please let me know if these are bed bugs or not!!

The embedding did not work probably due to your sharing settings on Flickr. So I removed the IMG tags to make the links visible.
Those are not bed bugs.
An expert may be along later to tell you what they are, but definitely not bed bugs.

That's good to hear!
They were in the same areas that I found bed bugs in a year ago, which I believe I got rid of successfully. I still have diatomaceous earth around the legs of my bed, which is what I thought killed these bugs.It will be good to know what they are, I found 10 of them in the same room.

100% beetle. Likely a ground beetle. Hard to tell with no scale.
